Hello everyone, this is Big Red. Let's just say I am sorry for being a week late. You see, I been though a break up after a good 8 months of dating along with catching a bad cold with body aches that left me out of work for several days. I can hope neither of these things happen again as the writing stays consistent with its releases. On the topic of this chapter, Mecha Sonic finally goes down as the Lost Hex arc comes to a climax. The song Sora did would also change the state of the world in great ways the Legion will not expect. Let us begin.
The news of this this strange global uprising of all the areas the Legion captured would grow widespread with ease. Reporters and eyewitnesses everywhere were able to see this, spreading word of this strange phenomenon everywhere with the energy they had. It should be note that reporters and other professionals were unable to report everything with the possessed victims of the Shadow Beasts holding them hostage at gunpoint to not tell any news that goes against their iron hardened rule. But with the civilians affected by Sora's songs attacking their oppressors, they were all completely free to report all they ever wanted without a single ruffian to stop their right to do their jobs without any fear. The first to report anything would be the famed reporter of Station Square that is once again in her favorite spot now that the news station is completely free of any control from the Legion's Minions to terrorize her or her fellow crew mates from doing what they all did best for their fellow civilians. The camera crew would have their sets ready with the right shutterspeed and lights for the scene to be televised. Glowing security guards would be standing near the emergency exit and main entrances to stop anyone that dares try raiding their special news report. The woman sits in a very relaxed posture in her red suit as she straightens the stack of documents in her hand for this special report.
"And we are clear! Let's start our biggest report ever. An important report the whole world will have to know. Are you ready crew?" the director shouts.
"Yes, we all are. There is no way we will have this case interrupted when the Legion are gone with their tails between their legs. This is our only shot. Anything to signal some heroes to come save us all," the anchorman announced.
The camera and sound crew all nods as they are ready to get this big news report ready for the greatest news report ever. The camera is refocused on the woman in red just to make sure she is well focused on the entire desk setting and blue news background to match their serious subject manner. She clears her throat once more before beginning the report at its fullest.
This is it. The moment you waited for, Miss Station Square. The time for you to inspire the hopeless out there.
Outside in the main square, the chaos still continues with so many of the police still beaten by civilians and train operators alike if it meant forcing the Shadow Beasts out of their possessed hosts. Some are more stubborn than the others, needing a worse beating to really drive them outside the body. The freed cops are left confused and even terrified that the protectors of the law are faced with sudden brutality at all. Or even the fact these aggressors all seem to share a mysterious glowing rainbow aura from their bodies compared to normal.
"What…the hell is going on? Or own fellow men are under attack by the civilians all of a sudden…this got to be some dream and we have to wake up from it," one cop said.
But once he seen one still possessed cop that just happens to be a safe distance away from the civilians with his gun aimed for a young child that is currently punching one of his fallen men. It was then that things would be clear what really happened to his own men or more what he was doing while not controlling his own conscious.
"What is he doing? That's just a child and we should never harm the civilians no matter what. That was always a part of our police code, something the chief made sure all cops would follow. This is insane, what the hell is happening around here," the frightened man in blue said.
A firefighter would notice him completely, hesitating to fire the hose he had ready just in case he seems to be another host to the deadly Shadow Beasts. The middle aged man is showing little fear of someone who is armed with a real weapon compared to him, but felt this is what he must do to get the real city that he know and loved back again.
"Stay down, I have enough water pressure to waterlog you. I am not afraid, you and your fellow men in blue did nothing but be mindless brutal lapdogs to the very Legion terrorists that taken over this city for far too long. I really hate to do this to someone that is supposed to serve and protect, but I do not trust your kind anymore," the fearless firefighter said.
The afraid cop is confused as to why someone like a firefighter has anything against him or his fellow cops when he is just as confused as to why some cops are even committing the very brutality that goes against their code as people.
"What happened here? I mean no harm at all and just want to get to the bottom of this. You see, I have no memory of what happened to me at all. One day I was busy guarding the bank then blacked out. And now I am awaken to what is some outbreak where all of my men are attacked by the civilians and some of us are willing to actually kill them. And what is this Legion you are talking about? The ones responsible for all of this? I need to tell this to the chief right away," he replied.
The firefighter then lowered the hose as he could tell from the tone of his voice that this cop is genuine. The fact he shows no hostility or had the red glowing eyes most of the bad cops had lets him know that this man is back to his old self.
"Yes, it is true. This city was attacked. I was a witness that saw what happened. The city was under attack by some ship, purple monsters were flying around and taking the bodies of your cop pals. Turning them into cruel merciless guards that would threaten to shoot unless we simply hid and never thought about leaving the city. Patrolling the streets and always having conversations with these strange villains. They were not Eggman, but clearly friends of his' if they went out of their way to take over this beautiful city. This is why the civilians are beating them, it is the only way to get those demons out of their body. They caused more than enough damage to the name of good cops and those who would never use their authority to terrorize us in any way. We would have to band together if it means getting our city back the way it is," he said.
It was then when the cop wouldn't have the courage to get back to his feet fully just to see what must be done. His eyes are still focused on the one that intends to kill the boy for what him and the other inferior civilians were doing with their revolt to undo everything their masters ever did to Station Square. He felt nothing but disgust at the thought that one of his own is now a shell of his former self, a monster who is nothing but the very things that police would never stand for when the badges they were given. Or the arms that were meant to only protect and stop the truly wicked criminals from harming the innocents. The first thing he did would charge at the cop immediately with a mad dash that would surprise the firefighter at all for his risk.
"What is that fool doing? He will only notice and shoot him down. Just like all the other unfortunate souls that tried and failed to stand up to them before this day," he said in surprise.
The glowing eyed man in blue would feel nothing but killing intent at the thought anyone would dare stand up to him and his allies who lost the very Shadow Beasts that gave them the minds that they should keep.
"Must destroy all that oppose the Legion. No matter the age or how weak they are. Their blood being spilled will only be a sign of us withholding absolute justice," he said.
"Or how about I show you true justice by kicking your ass, you sad excuse of a cop!" the running cop called.
He successfully jumps him and used his arms to fully restrain his trigger happy enemy. All the devious cop would do is fire his gun all around while trying to shake the man off of him. The loud shouts would get the attention of the civilians and people that were still beating the darkness out of the cops. Other cops would struggle to try shaking their stronger aggressors off to back them up, but realized it would be no use at all. The train guard would only knock one out with his baton before he had the chance to reach for his pistol.
"You have the right to remain silent. We want our real police force back and not the monsters you've become. We will do everything we can to get these beasts out of your body!" the man shouts.
A woman would be strangling another cop with her purse, causing him to struggle for air but at the same time avoiding an accidentally beheading with her new strength. A fry cook would be pressuring his spatula against one cops face to stop him from trying to fight back. A business man already flattens his victim with his steel briefcase if it means fully restraining his target. A fancy lady from Casinopolis already ties her feather snake around the neck of one cop to cut off any circulation possible. Not even convicts are free from joining the fun as one is committing revenge for all the brutality he faced in prison before his escape.
"Normally I wouldn't be doing this, but you men in blue put me through real hell. I miss the days of being given slop and doing digging work while not being some bloody punching bag for you. This is for all the misery I faced. Doesn't feel good to be hurt by the very bad people you hate so much, does it? Does it?" the angry man in striped prisoner garb shouts.
Even the possessed police dogs wouldn't be free of being beaten when several dogs owned by civilians would be double teaming the large K-9 units with stronger fangs and their anger at the days of being chased by them. These German Shepards howled in pain from ease bite as they struggle to shake off the smaller less experienced dogs that are somehow a big threat to them. Large dogs like Great Danes and Alaskan Huskies had no problem taking on at least one K-9 unit alone with their sheer size and strength, making the very Shadow Beasts that made them bloodthirsty attack dogs moot. The cop bucks violently with all he had to try shaking the non-possessed cop off his back with all he had. The freed police officer had to fight with all he had since he did not get blessed with the same powers these civilians had, using all of his might based on the police training he did.
"Go…to hell, you traitor. This is for a new future where the Legion can rule. We do not accept path…etic cops like you that go against true justice and allow these fools to fight back against us!" the angry man shouts.
"True justice? This is terrorism and goes against everything we learned in place academy. I know the real you is in there. Fight that darkness, get it out of you! This is not the right way to be a policeman. We only respect the law and not some shady fear mongers that only want to force us to be monsters against our wills. Is that what you truly want? Look at what happened and think of the many you killed for not following orders. Get the hell out of that mindset! I know what true justice is. And you know it too!" the good cop beams.
He used his strength and weight to try yanking the crazed cop on the ground with him, still trying to dodge the rounds that were attempted to fire his own head off. Within each gunshot, more of the bangs would echo throughout the city to alert everyone else. The civilians that were still hiding despite their boost would begin looking out of their windows just to see what would be happening. Many were left confused or even shocked at the riots that were breaking out in the middle oof the city. What's more confusing is that for once, they did not see anyone shot to death by the very cops that ruled this city with an iron fist and instead getting their well deserved comeuppance. One scared son holds his mother tightly as he's too scared to know what is happening down there at all and am man who had his morning coffee spits it out fully in surprise. Another worker who used to work for the Burger Shop restaurant would be wishing he can just go back to work and make money like the good old days. Another Casinopolis employee would be placing bets with a friend of his over who would be the first to step outside without any fear over one hundred dollars cash. A former bunny girl that worked at Casinopolis would already be wishing this is over if it means no longer being forced to look at a mirror for the rest of her life. One man that happens to be a former G.U.N. agent would be busy enjoying a nice smoke since all the stay at home stress is finally getting to him, wishing he can work for the organization once more like old times. Another man is already wasted from having one too many drinks, trying his best not to fall over during his alcoholism trance that plagued his already boggled min. A familiar little girl would be peering out of the window. Her features were short brown hair with a pink streak, a white blouse with a red and white striped shirt underneath, and red shoes. She is someone that saw Sonic land in the backyard beach that lead to Emerald Coast after he fell from his failed raid of the Egg Carrier in the past. She is now a bit older, seemingly concerned for the day she can finally go back to school again like old times. Another familiar little girl wearing a pink shirt with blonde twists would be looking from her apartment. She is someone who was there to see Eggman's televised threats with the Eclipse Cannon and even Gerald's message about the ARK setting course for Earth during that fateful time Shadow sacrificed himself for humanity. She still feels that same fear from those days as history once again repeats itself but as a result of another mean villain trying to take over their peaceful city once again. Before she could cry, she would notice the other little girl that managed to catch her from across the street, peering from her window. She never thought she would see someone similar to her in age that wanted the same thing, face still red and cheeks soaked with her own tears. The other felt it would be a good time to reach out to her with a simple wave as if she wanted to be fiends. The pigtailed girl did not know how to react as she never had someone ever try to be friendly with her in the weeks this city would be under siege at all.
"Things will be alright. The people are being the heroes we never thought we had. Not when that blue hedgehog isn't here to help us again. The best we can do is hope for a better tomorrow," the straight haired little girl said.
The crying girl immediately wiped her tears away slowly as she listened to the words of her new friend, trying her best not to be too distressed or hopeless like her own parents that were unsure of her future.
"Yes, I want that hedgehog to come back and save everyone. This is scaring me, I have a bad feeling all those people will not be able to make it out alive," she whined.
"They will make it alive. For once, we will have to depend on ourselves. Yes he is the one who saves the day, but we all just need to do everything on our own for once. He have not been here since that tournament, probably trying to do everything he can looking for those strange gems. Trust me, everything will be alright," the brown haired girl called.
The other girl is only left silent and still struggling to hold back any tears for how scared she is about their current situation. She hoped that what happened in the past was the last time the Earth would be in any real danger. Or even the time a massive earthquake split all the continents apart from each other because of Eggman's plan to control the dark god Dark Gaia for his plans of world domination. Or even the time she and her family almost died from the whole world losing its energy as a result of the Deadly Six using Eggman's own machine as revenge for their blind hatred of all Earth people down below. Or even the time Eggman did take over the world, forcing both humans and the intelligent animals alike into hiding after his defeat of Sonic with Infinite's help. She is left holding her tongue to avoid saying anything else negative when her new friend is trying her best to give her all the hope she needs.
"Just trust me, we will get out of this. Would you rather be hopeless and think we will be ruled by these bad people forever? What would that hedgehog do? We just have to be brave like him. Not give in to the fear those bad people want us to feel!" the girl shouts once more.
The two finally noticed some new developments were starting to happen. More Shadow Beasts were finally starting to be freed from their hoists due to not taking the pain anymore from the strange powers these citizens had. The shadowy beings naked their way into the skies to try escaping with an inch of their life. Cops fired their guns and firefighters sprayed their hoses to try taking down as many as possible before letting a single one escape.
"Everyone, let's do all we can to stop those monsters from escaping. Think of what damage they can do if they remain loose to capture more cities like this one. We will bring this city back to the way it was. For the sake of our good mayor!" one of them shouts.
The civilians then noticed more of the dark cops were coming from the corners ready to fight off the unruly people that dared to rise up against them. They were armed and dangerous, growling at the thought some of their fellow shadow beings were being chased out of their safe haven.
"Let's put an end to this tomfoolery. The Legion will rise and not fall. Show no mercy, gun them down if it means keeping our pride as the best loire of defense for our evil overlords," a possessed cop called.
They all fired mercilessly without any warning at the glowing citizens. Instead, the bullets would bounce off of their stronger bodies as if they were mere pellets that did no damage to them at all. All they would do is only glare at their new targets to attack in the name of the Station Square they all once loved. The good cops that were now free gotten their weapons ready to do a counter attack for true justice instead of this utopia of terror and brutality that overrun the city. Some succeeded in shooting the guns out of the hands of these bad cops with ease thanks to their successful training to disarm all criminals. Others would charge immediately to shock their controlled allies with full charged tasers. The shocks would be successful as the dark creatures inside of them struggled to keep their control inside of their human hosts. Hints of darkness would be rising from some of the dark cops already to try freeing themselves from the ver lasting pain.
"There it is, spray them with all we've got men!" a firefighter said.
"Hold it! If we wet them while they are shocked, we could end their lives wait until they fully escape the bodies first. Even the cops doing the shocking could be fatally hurt from the conducted electricity in the hose's water. We would rather save lives them end them like our own enemies," another firefighter called.
"Then we need to think of another way we can safely free that ugly monsters out of their bodies. I had the idea of knocking them out with a frying pan, but I don't think that's enough when it would take more beatings to really get them out of their bodies," the fry cook said.
"Or maybe I can get the train running again and gather some help. Or we can split up to save more people. Now that there are no one guarding the trains, we can do what we all do best to gather more help," a train guard said.
"Or we could get some drinks and get them as drunk as possible. Their bodies would no longer be in control with too much alcohol in their system," a Casinopolis worker said.
"Are you mad? We are trying to save them and not hurt them more. We would not want to risk hurting their only livers with something dangerous as alcohol. We already have enough drunks in this city, creating more would add to this problem," a woman said.
A lone bunny girl would be walking away from everyone with a plan of her own. Some officers would be calling her name if it meant having her not get any closer to being possibly shot to death.
"Civilian, get back here! Whether bullets work or not, putting yourself at risk is not even worth it. Stay put like every civilian should!" a firefighter called.
"Wait, she has a plan. We will have to sit and watch," a shopping woman said.
The bunny girl walked without any fear as she just thought of something that can free these men without beating them with an inch of their lives. Something that not even a cop or firefighter would ever think about doing with someone possessed to begin with. Her strut is full of nothing but confidence and no fear in her heart. This brave bunny girl just though of the one thing that would help everyone in the long run. The cops still shocking with their tasers were just about close to getting the shadow beats to let their grips go of the blue wearing victims they were attached to for so long.
"There are ways of getting things done than violence. So allow me to do something that will save us all the trouble of shedding more needless blood. Bunnies got bigger plans that could use more… motivational tactics. Just observe what I do, boys," she said.
One cop would b e wondering why she is risking the idea of getting involved in a job for a responsible law enforcer.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here? Stand back for your own sake. Leave it to us," he called.
She instead grabs the taser in his hand and moves it to the side. The shocked cop would finally wobble over as if he is losing his footing. Even the Shadow Beast controlling him would be tased with his dark physiology too weak to maintain its physical form.
"Oh you poor thing, let me remind you that you are not some monster but only a man that is lost in his own thoughts," she said in a playful tone.
She would grab the man's head and playfully hug him into her red bosom in a suggestive position. This is usually something that bunnies were never allowed to do in Casinopolis but a last resort effort on her part to free him back to his less cruel mind. Just feeling the maternal lumps on his face would begin to awake some feelings within him, they were no longer about control or wanting to kill those that oppose him. But instead happier thoughts that would take him back to the days of being something much less deadly. He instead chooses to hug back tightly while burying further into the flirtations bunny girl's special trap just to give in to all the desires he been lacking.
"So soft. I never thought I would be missing out on this from the casino. You really are the sexiest thing I ever had. Now I want to go back all over again to Casinopolis. To blow all the money I have on you beautiful ladies," he said.
The bunny girl smiles knowing her own non-violent plan is working better than expected, only enjoying the compliments about her buxom figure.
"There is nothing to worry about. You can have all you want if you listen to this. Put that gun of yours down, never hurt anyone again. You can get this treatment for half off. Only for a brave sexy adult man like yourself. You are not a killing machine, but you are stiull a bad boy who do not deserve this at all," she teased.
Even the other officers would start staring at the moment, feeling emotions they never had in a while. Jealousy, at the thought they are not getting anything as good because of their terrible actions as corrupt police. The other civilians, good cops, fire fighters, and workers would be left speechless at what they were watching at all. Surprised that something so simple is actually working to change them back to their humane states. The few children there had their eyes covered by the mothers and crossing guards to hide their eyes from something they were too young to see.
"And this is why you are better off staying away from Casinopolis. Even if you get old enough, you shouldn't go anywhere near a sleazy place like that," a concerned mother said.
"Well I'll be, we found a way to save them without beating them with an inch of their life. If only we can report this to the news station," a firefighter said.
"That's it, we will use the train to report this to the Station Square News Station. This is vital information worth being spread. That woman is a genius and only being the true hero we need. Especially in times Sonic is not here to save us," an officer replied.
"Then follow me. I can tell the conductor that is waiting for us to get things started. We will have to do everything we can to free everyone. Beats becoming just as violent as them. Follow me everyone!" the train guard said.
All the important people started to follow him up the concrete stairs toward the station to put their pin in motion. The man who is lost in his lustful thoughts would finally be ejecting the Shadow Beast from his full control. The shadowy beast tries its best to regain that control but couldn't due to the human's willpower being too strong for it to overpower.
"How about this? If you boys want to get the same treatment as this lucky dog, help me stop your bodies from blocking the casino. There are more poor bunnies there that would give you hunks all the loving. If you know what I mean," the bunny girl said once more with a suggestive tone.
She enjoys that her victim is still enjoying the hug in all its glory like a kid enjoying the fluffiness of his own pillow in bed. Turns out only sex appeal can truly save the day instead of struggling to beat dark parasites out of the body of victims with no choice. Some of the cops would already be blushing and smiling despite the dark beasts within them struggling to get control of their bloodlust once more to prevent them losing control.
"Yes ma'am. I will run back and do your bidding. It would be a pleasure to have a chance to enjoy heaven as much as that lucky cop. I know I've been naughty, but let me make it up to you. May days of serving that unfairly strict Legion are over. You are at my command, mistress," one bashful copy said.
Even the redness of his eyes are beginning to dull out as a result of him finally regaining his original personality once more. The Shadow Beast would finally be ejected out of his body immediately as it could not take the struggle anymore. The few freed cops would shoot at it with everything they had to finally pout down their evil culprit. The still possessed cops would act out on their urge to run for the barricaded casino at full force if it meant getting that same slice of the pie. Some of these struggling beasts hissed viciously as if they were no longer in control of their own hosts anymore because they were too lost in attraction to care about their intended goal anymore.
"Get out of my way, I will free the casino. The more bunnies for me, the better!" he shouts. "No, you are too skinny. Besides, a real man like me with my physique would charm a lady better than you," another said.
"Bigger is better as many would say. All of you have a fatter chance compared to me," a heavyset cop said.
"Look who's talking," both cops replied.
So many shadows would be trailing from their bodies as a sign that these Shadow Beasts were now failing to stay within the bodies of their hosts any longer. The once threatening beasts that controlled and terrorized everyone for so long were now losing grip as their only means of being a threat. Failing what the Legion made them for and having no idea of how to counter this sudden bursts of autonomy that overcame their own dark grips. That is not all as more guests arrived just to save the day, which happens to be more SCR-GP units that SCR-HD summoned just for drastic times like this. As part of his plan to seek more allies, he sent a distress signal to all of his fellow robots that were around the world with a new purpose in mind. That is to fight off every victim of the Legion's shadowy beings in non-violent ways. They lacked the gravity powers off their master, but did have the tech to combat any threats that were to control humans as something Eggman added for his own purposes in case the Black Arms were to ever come back. So something the doctor did for his own selfish purpose would backfire completely now that the robot was fully reprogramed for good thanks to Rez's hacking efforts. The robots arrived in different parts of the city, using their own special beams to shoot a non-lethal shot that would not harm the bodies of the victims. But instead push the shadowy beings from outside of their bodies by force before incinerating them with their normal robot blasts. Citizens are then left staying in their homes and fearing if this robot invasion is a backup attack as a result of the Legion. Then some would grow less afraid of the tall white machines as they are there to help instead of being violent threats to all of them.
"But aren't they the same robots that rampaged from MeteoTech? Why are they helping us? Did they get reprogrammed back to the way they were?" a man wondered.
"We are saved. The robots are even doing their best to do what G.U.N. couldn't do within these past weeks. Three cheers for our no robot bodyguards!" a robot cheered.
"Cool! Mommy, I want one of those robots. He would be my best friend and teach me how to be brave!" a little boy begged his mother.
"I can say we never expected to see a good robot for once. It been a while, since that one robot last been to this city. It was a red one. I wonder what happened to him," the man asked.
Meanwhile, the inside of Mecha Sonic would be violently rubbing due to the damage he is completely enduring from the outside. The inside of the machine would be nothing more but a stream of black cords and wires that streamed all around the inside as if they acted as a bioengineered system for the towering beast. Many pop the trapped robots were all wrapped and pierced by these cords to act as the make up of Mecha Sonic. The many Robot Masters were scattered throughout the insides of this metal monster. Some having wires piercing through they mouths eyes, or even their own arms to prevent them from moving anywhere. But what stands out are Omega and Gamma being on the uttermost part of the "brain" of Mecha Sonic as they seem to act as his main source of firepower. The machines were unconscious as if their own data were stripped from them not being entered through the cords that pierced all over their bodies. These robots were in a completely vegetive state, unable to respond to do anything to have their own free will as they acted as a part of one massive being that stole their own consciousness. Another loud roar of pain traveled throughout the inside of the massive beast to rubble all the entrapped beings. The most shocking of all would be Agent Seven being in the worst state due to her being a human victim that willingly threw herself inside. These cords were pierced all over parts of her fleshy body, being drenched in her own blood as she is barely alive at all. All she could do is gasp and breathe heavily in the worst pain imaginable as if she knows one false move could meant her own death. Her eyes are thankfully save from being pierced, but the same could not be said for her hands, feet, legs, arms, ribs, organs, or even her own hair. Deep down she feels very afraid and knows what it's like to be trapped in a machine against her own will knowing nothing can be done at this rate. The more the beast is trust, the deeper the wired and cords that were within her would burrow deeper into her skin. Causing her to scream wildly as if she could die in any moment. She know she is completely alone with all of these robots being nothing more than hollow shells unable to act on their own consciousness. More of her blood would be dripping onto the dark steel floor below as she already lost more than enough from being in this state for nearly an hour. She can't even talk either with her lungs under too much pressure from the many wired wrapped all around her only means of breathing to even say anything.
But a miracle would be happening, the lights in Gamma's eyes would suddenly start blinking as if they were trying to reactivate as a result of the damage Mecha Sonic is taking from the outside. The more they blinked, the more the red robot would start to slowly regain the conscious that is starting to renewer his body once more. The arms that were pierced then started to move as a result to try pulling from from his prison. Even the large red body would begin rustling with the chaos causing a disruption in what's supposed to happen to his body. The only think in this machine's mind would be Amy and how he made a promise not to die again for her own sake as promised back in Seaside Hill. The more this image flashed his databanks, the more the determined machine would begin fighting to break free. The first thing that happens are his hand transforming into massive electric prods that would channel all the electricity in the cords around him. This would not only jumpstart his systems again to their full capacity but also weaken the very deadly cords that were restraining him. Agent Seven would be in too much agonizing pain to pay any mind to what's happening with the robot as she continues losing all the blood she would have. Omega is also too motionless to have any mechanical stimuli in his dead mechanical body.
"Foolish…blue hedgehog copy. You can't hold back an…original E-100 series unit. Your days of using ro…robots as batteries are over. As I return to Amy Rose once more… and stop my worthless creator from harming the inhabitants of this uni…verse. Commencing Overdrive Mode…failsafe!" the straining machine shouts.
As a result of the voltage, one of his arms would finally break free from his prison and hangs below. Then he breaks one of his legs free easily with all of his might. With enough voltage and willpower from his emergency back up state, the robot is slowly pulling free from every wire and cord that originally constricted his body. No matter the many damaged holes within his body, he still had all the stamina he needs to keep going no matter how badly his body needs repairs.
"Br…brother. You are next. Hold still while I lock on the right targets!" he said in his usual mechanical tone.
With one damaged arm, he would then slowly sent electrical shocks on the right cords that travels to everything that also restrains Omega to his fullest. It would be this time he returns the favor by saving a sibling in need. At the same time, he uses his special communication signals to try reaching out to any Team Dark members on the outside that could hear him. The high flying Rouge would be the first to hear him after she dealt a Screw Kick to the temple of Mecha Sonic's massive face. The back realized this signal is familiar and quickly answers it as she stays a float with her special wings.
"This is Rouge, state your business. You are told to stay where you are for safety with Sackboy and not disobey orders," she replied thinking this is a normal operative asking her something.
"This is Gam…ma speaking. Your actions..reawakened me from my slumber. I am freeing everyone inside despite my critical state. Failsafe is handy for…situations like this," the robot's voice said.
The bat immediately made a surprised smile as if she never expected their own ally to speak back to them.
"But how? Are you sure you aren't done AI Mecha Sonic is using to trick me? I am not sure if I can get down there and save you," she replied.
"Would any other machine have a voice speaker like this? I am...the only Gamma. Not some cheap mass produced copy that blue dictator wished... he could ever replicate. I'm freeing Omega as we speak. You are more...than welcome to come assist me. Agent Seven is here, however she could die with the crit...ical stars her organic body is in. It's a miracle...she can still scream at all," the robot explains through his communication system.
Hearing that relieved but also terrified Rogue as she never expected her to be in such a bad state for throwing herself in harm's way like that. But it's all more of a reason for her to do a huge favor for Princess Sora as all she wants is her ally safely removed from Mecha Sonic's draconian body.
"Then here I come. Stay where you are, I have a plan that concerns my special bladed heels," she said.
"Affirmative. Awaiting your arrival," Gamma replied.
She instantly flies directly towards the dazed Mecha Sonic who had little care about what's happening. Ristar and the others wondered why she is risking something like flying straight for his mouth from the start.
"What is she doing? Have Rouge lost her mind to getting inside when we are already thrashing that blue dummy from the outside?" the star child said.
"Perhaps she is going along with the original plan. Someone must had sent her a shocking signal when I did notice she is talking in her communication device," Elec Man said.
"Detective Vector is on the case. Just give me more clues and I will solve this in no time," the crocodile brags.
"Perhaps the very machines that were absorbed are starting to gain autonomy again after all the damage on Mecha Sonic. Just a feeling," Espio said.
"Another clue. We also have to remember that the more the robots escape, the weaker that big metal meanie will get. We will have to hit harder and free all those robots," Charmy shouts with glee.
"But don't you think we are all just getting ahead of ourselves here. There's no way they would be gaining anything because they are quote on quote absorbed. You all get it?" Mighty argued.
Shadow would notice the bat that happens to fly her way near the mouth of the damaged beast for a strange reason. Being someone that cares a lot for her safety, he immediately decides to place the Chaos Emeralds in a glove department near the driver's wheel fir safe keeping. Ramirez would wonder what the hedgehog plans on doing next.
"You keep driving the tank and make sure no one steals those emeralds. I have a feeling she's going to try saving Omega and Gamma on her own. I'm counting on you," Shadow said in a serious manner.
He disappears in a flash of blue before the silver haired man could stop him from going after her. He is left unable to say a word and following exactly what he's told if it meant keeping the sacred gems from falling in the wrong hands. Roy's group finally managed to arrive just in time to see the blue beast they were looking for is already taken cared of. The red haired prince at a bad feeling that things may be easy, but the stakes were higher than before since he can still destroy the Lost Hex through other means. Daisy already has her dukes up ready to get physical with the larger threat before her large eyes.
"Alright you overgrown son of a Bill Blaster, you are going to feel the burn from Sarasaland's number one fighter!" she shouts.
"That's not a good idea. Do you want that monster to attack us head on?" Popo warned.
"Cheer up Popo, the odds are clearly in our favor. Be an Ice Climber and not a seal... err Topi," Nana said.
"I'm ready when all of you are. We already missed out on the fun our allies were having with this monster," Richter said before flexing Vampire Killer.
Team Star Wolf continued their barrage of plasma shots and Smart Bombs on the behemoth in an attempt to take him down. Within each attack, the beast violently writhed in pain while letting out the scariest roar ever.
"Serves you right for making a mockery of Lylat's best mercenary team. Prepare for your inevitable destruction," Leon said coldly.
Alberto unleashed a few Swarm drones to attack around the head easily. The massive robotic wasps did everything they could to annoy the beast with their constant flying and deadly steel stingers. The Ferrari narrowly evaded the massive claws that would had taken the car down easily. This left Clarissa wide eyed and scared stiff at the idea that she could die if her Latino isn't careful enough with his aerial driving. The Virtua Cop duo would focus on shooting their guns at the mechanical beast's arms before they even had the chance to attack. Of course with the boost Sora's son gave to the cops, their otherwise normal gunshots were not a genuine threat to this towering beast.
"Cooles, we will sure need your squad to fire too if we will defeat this monster," Hardy shouts in his walkie talkie.
The blonde cop nods from within his helicopter and pressed the right buttons to activate the chopper's lethal weapons. A few missiles fired at the best of Mecha Sonic, causing him to yell in pain once more. This time, Rouge manages to slip inside of his mouth easily thanks to everyone keeping it open for complete infiltration. The bat finally made her way through the dark cavernous oral cavity of this mechanical dragon before entering the deep steel tunnel that would be his own throat. She is highly determined to fly as fast as possible if it means seeking the two robotic allies that meant alot to her and Shadow. She have not done any infiltration missions in a long time, making the experience quite nostalgic to her. She is glad that there are no active security robots or other threats inside of his body that would slow her flight down at all.
"Just you wait boys, this bat will be here to save you from this pit," she said with a serious look.
She eventually noticed Shadow appear next to her mid-flight out of the blue to greet her. She was surprised at first but happy to see that her closest ally is her to assist her in this mission.
"Well well, I see the Ultimate Lifeform is here to keep this pretty lady company," she said slyly.
Shadow would only ignore her playful teasing isn he had no time to play any games and feel very concerned for her well being.
"You know why I am here because I want to save them as much as you. Plus we are a team. No one gets left behind as long as we are Team Dark. Even Omega needs us more than ever," he replies.
The black hedgehog finally lands on the steel sloping floor below to aggressively skate with his special rocket shoes like old times. Even if their distances were far, the two were following the same path together if it meant saving their own allies. Rouge would only laugh knowing the dark furred agent is still a lovable grouch as ever in her eyes.
"Omega is our favorite robot, but never forget his brother either. Gamma might as well be our fourth member at this point. That's if that pink girlie do not want to keep him to herself forever. And besides, she already has her own boy to take care of," the bat said with a smile.
"Sonic is not that type of guy. He may be a cocky talkative hero who thinks he can outshine us, but I can never see him viewing Amy as anything more than a friend. You were always a woman who thinks she can predict what any man feels. If I did not know you any better, you spend too much time playing around with that echidna instead of seeing him as a serious rival," Shadow said in his serious tone.
Rouge did not know whether to laugh or grow silent since her own ally did catch on to her very easily. Instead she decides to cover her feelings up with a slight nervous laugh.
"Oh please, that knucklehead is only someone I like to tease because it's funny to get a rise out of that man. Sure I am thankful he saved me back on the ARK, but there is nothing going on between us. Speaking of which, how do you really feel about Maria coming back?" she said in an attempt to change the subject.
This is a really tough question for him to answer as this is something he really feel would be hard to put into words. While he is happy she is alive once more, he is afraid of losing her again to anything too dangerous. This is why he ordered her to stay on the ship for safety or even grew worried for the times Mecha Sonic did hit the ship as he doesn't want to ever bear another burden like her dying because of him. Also, Shadow chose to put the past behind him if it meant improving in his own life moving forward., But with the past back to haunt him once more, he isn't fully sure of whether he can be happy or disappointed to face Maria once more in present day compared to the past. This puts an even bigger burden on him as he knows his allies at Team Dark are more than capable of handling themselves and any G.U.N. agent's death is a worthy sacrifice in the eyes of the organization. Rouge could tell he is hesitating to answer as the subject of Maria was always something too touchy to ever ask her closest ally about for a long time. Then the bat gotten a new message from Gamma once more when her device started to ring again. She quickly focused on the device to answer the call.
"This is Rouge, we are on our way right now. What is wrong?" she said.
"Escape successful. But the damage in my body is too critical to keep moving. Hopefully tools are ready for the needed repairs," the robot said.
Shadow immediately shaken his head and felt he should be part of the subject.
"What is the status on your brother? Is he alright?" he called.
"Omega is partially free at best, but he refuses to reawaken. Perhaps you two can hel…p reawaken him," the damaged robot replied.
"But most importantly, how is Agent Seven. Is she alright?" Shadow asked.
There is a moment of silence as the robot is afraid of giving him the answer to that one. Even Rouge felt there is a reason why Gamma is refusing to tell them about it.
"Come on now, do not hide something like it is a big surprise. We deserve to know what happened to a valuable agent. Even Princess Sora wants her partner back safe and unharmed. Now answer Shadow if you have to," Rouge said in concern.
"She is right, you know better than that Gamma. Tell us what happened with her. It's not like she is dead or anything," Shadow said.
But the robot felt there is no need to hide anything from his allies anymore after within holding this information.
"Her condition is critical. She is doing nothing but screaming, losing so much blood, her organs appear to be punched in the worst places. The chances of demise are likely, even if we were to free her from the wires. Mecha Sonic is truly less than a machine and more of a monster," the robot replied.
Hearing this really shocked the two G.U.N. agents very much, even when Rouge was very close to dropping her own device. Shadow felt too much overcoming his formerly calm composter. It did not help that the very flashbacks that Infinite tortured him with were slowly starting to pop up in his mind as he failed to save someone once more. Rouge noticed that her friend is starting to look less calm and starting to struggle in running straight because of that aftershock interfering with his own movements.
"Shadow? Are you alright? I am just as shocked as you but you need to focus your running or you will crash," she called.
He is too lost in his own trauma to even focus anymore and starting to slowly lose himself at the thought someone very important to the team died because he did little to prevent it. Even he is starting too lose control of his own arms because of this shock overcoming him.
"Shadow! Stay with me, we will be alright! She is not dying on our watch when we can take her back to the ship immediately! Centurion is the same, he will be just fine if that stubborn God can make him stronger and back to his old self! You did say the stakes were very high! Just stay with me Shadow!" she desperately shouts.
Instead, the black hedgehog would be wildly skating as if he were a car starting to close control of its own wheels. Losing focus like this while they were running down a mechanical beast's throat is the wrong time to have a PTSD attack and Rouge knew that she had to do something if it meant him not getting hurt.
"Is there something happening up there?" the robot asked. Rouge instead hangs up as this is her time to help her own ally.
"Just rest easy, robot. I have a friend in need to stop," the bat said in a serious tone.
Once she caught wind of Shadow trying to skate up the walls of the steel tunnel, she immediately swoops down to try stopping him. Shadow erratically skating the other way lead Rouge to stop during her flight and follow him again.
"Darn, get back here already!" she shouts.
Shadow's widened eyes and irregular movement can only mean that the hedgehog is in the middle of letting that shock of an ally dying get the best of him on top of the psychological damage that Infinite managed to achieve on him. She was not there to see everything and only Dark Pit knows of this as he seen everything that sadistic jackal did to him in the canyon near Sunset Heights.
"Not again, not again. I am a failure at saving lives. How could this happen again? Now Maria is in twice as much danger than before? She will die again. I do not want to bear that again. What is the use of living when I will only fail to save lives. Gerald did not create a hero, he created a monster who's only cursed to let those close to him die. Damn you, get out of my head!" the hedgehog panics.
Then he resorts to blindly attacking the throat of the beast in a furry of emotionally charged Homing Attacks all around the room. Rouge carefully dodged the black pinballs attempts at accidentally hitting her as she knew there is no way going through to him at all. Each time would cause a massive shockwave that occurs through the entire machine. Even Gamma would be struggling to stand with the critical condition he is in. The semi-free body of Omega dangles once more due to these aftershocks happening throughout this mechanical cave. Agent Seven nee again screams as the cords were only digging deeper inside of her skin and organs within eace thud that happens. Shadow's actions were only inadvertent hurting her even worse than she already was. And of course Mecha Sonic would feel that pain as he lets out another powerful shriek that travels throughout the entirety of the Lost Hex once more. This time it hurts even more than everything that happened to him so far as its affecting him in the inside and through his only means of firing mouth beams. The Smash Brothers, World Destruction Committee, Team Star Wolf, Team Rocket, Dimentio, Fawful, and rescued Windy Hill residents would be utterly shocked at what they were seeing right now. They were aware that no one attacked him at all after what the VCPD did, which came off as a shock as they knew what Rouge may be doing is only doing so much damage to him. Ristar already lose his patience and used his long arms to grab the ground once more before pulling himself back. Princess Sora is more than worried about what is happening with her friend from the inside that all she can do is hope for the best., Jack has his eye on the determined star child that intends to head over to the belly of the beast so hastily when something strange is already happening to him. "And just where do you think you are going?" the mercenary asks. As Ristar ignores the monochromatic man to pull himself, Elec Man gotten a memo of what he intends to do.
"Something that's worth doing. I'll see you dashing heroes in the inside," the electric Robot Master said.
He teleports without saying a word before anyone could stop him. Gravity Man and Aqua Man had a good feeling about what he plans to do.
"You thinking what I'm thinking, water belly?" the gravity robot said.
Aqua Man snickers as he had a good idea of what his fellow Robot Master plans. The dragon prince approached Aqua Man as he had his own special plan in mind.
"You there, water machine. I believe there's a tactic that we can both agree with for that steel dragon," Corrin said.
Aqua Man would find the silver haired man's lack of shoes weird than being willing to listen to him. Even weirder is how they seem to be wet already despite no water being around.
"What are you doing without anything to protect your feet, boyon? Have you been trying to clog toilets with them?" the potbellied robot said before snickering at his own clever joke.
The prince ignores this attempt to joke about him and instead focus on asking him again.
"Because it's an important part of the plan. You see, I can maneuver around easier than the best swimmers or even slide across it. Your water could come in handy for this plan. Are you in or are you out?" he demands.
Ristar is now fully stretched back as far as his own arms could reach with his body aiming directly for the twitching gigantic head of Mecha Sonic for his next plan. He's parting as he's stretching as far as his own arms can go if it means propelling him at the right speed and angle to reach the mouth. Taupy and Shogun still watched the shooting star's plan of reaching where he needs to go.
"Are you planning on going in there, kuma? It's suicide if you think it'a worth attacking him in the inside when it's safer to fight from the outside," the small bear-like Feral said.
Ristar is too busy straining from stretching too far to say another word as he's desperate to go after Rouge for her safety.
"If you want to come with me...go ahead. Rouge won't be able to handle everything alone. Even that...electric robot has the right idea. The fact... Mecha Sonic is acting crazier is a sigh that they are missing with something inside him...that could seriously endanger her and the robot victims... Just wrap my arms around yourselves...if you want to help," the exhausted star child said.
Jack smirks before tossing his lit cigarette away as he had the right idea all along. "I'll volunteer. Besides, I have a bone to pick with that walking gear bucket for humiliating me twice," he said.
"I'll come with too, kuma. Besides, someone's got to steal the glory from Morte and Kyrie for once. Especially the latter for how much of a big baby he is, even if he's a good man for admiring a true man like myself," Taupy flaunts with a smile.
"Roar, roar roar rooooooaaar!" Incineroar barks while pointing to himself.
"Easy there, tiger. You will not steal my thunder just because you got more muscle, kuma. But that's nothing when I can kick bigger but with my special Feral Martial Arts," the Feral fighter brags.
Byleth steps with his ancient sword ready.
"Allow me to come with. I have a feeling you all need a true strategist to help with your plan," the blue haired teacher said.
"Come on, you can't leave the Bogard out of the gun. Besides, you all need the backup fists you need," Terry called.
Lucas rushed to the group that intends to leave with urgent news.
"I used my telepathy to see if there's anyone living in that machine. After speaking through their mind, they are in enough pain and slowly losing their life. I could come with since my PSI Healing could come in handy," the psychic boy said.
"Good thinking Lucas. But too many of us can't come since who knows if this kid's arms can stretch long enough to fight everyone inside," Terry replied.
"Just get in my arms...everyone. I can fit as many people as possible. Anything to finally destroy that...big metal dragon before he hurts anyone else...at all," Ristar said.
Everyone then heard the sound of water rushing next to them. It is Aqua Man using his Water Cannon to fire a stream of water that snaked its way like a road towards the mouth of the beast. Gravity Man is using the full power of his Gravity Hold completely restrain Mecha Sonic's body with all of his strength. He is proven to be difficult as he's aware of the gap of power between them, even with Sora's song boosting his weapon's strength.
"If any of you plan on getting inside, do it now! I can't hold him down forever," the robot called.
Corrin already jumped on the water stream Aqua Man created and skates along the part to reach directly where the beast is held.
"None of you will get inside and destroy me. I'll make sure to close these jaws to crush anyone that dares..."
A massive pair of hands appeared to stop Mecha Sonic from closing his mouth, instead forcibly playing it open as if they were hater wrestling. This is the work of a Gigantomaxed Machamp the red haired admin summoned after overhearing everyone's conversations. The massive four armed creature used his second pair of arms to wrap around all arms of Mecha Sonic if it meant taking away all means of self defense he had.
"Great work Machamp, hold that fool nice and tight. If you all plan to destroy him from the inside, hurry. I doubt my trump card can last forever like this! Gigantomaxing is a form while powerful, can only last so long for a Pokémon. Time is precious!" the man called.
"You heard what my ally said, get in there and tear that machine down to the last set of wires!" Jessie ordered.
"We are all counting on you. We even have the Grunts ready for other plans in case we struggle to hold him down!" James called.
Sheik already jumped her way instead of left arm of Ristar as she's more than ready.
"Anyone who wants to come better jump in between Ristar's arms on the count of three!" she shouts.
Ristar smirks as this serious Smash member has the right idea. Byleth, incineroar, Terry, Lucas, Jack Cayman, and Taupy gathered around to get in the right spots of this long armed living slingshot.
"Three!" Sheik called.
Ecco would notice the water stream below in his Vortex Drone form, having a good idea. Alberto noticed that there is little reason to attack the ship anymore, but did grow curious as to what the hell everyone planned to do with Mecha Sonic's jaws. Clarissa instantly screams before hugging him tightly in fear after seeing the darkened face of Gigantomax Machamp right next to them. The Virtua Cops held their fire as this giant monster doesn't seem to be a new threat to deal with.
"Machamp!" the gigantic four armed being said to his puny flying guests.
"Relax Clarissa! He's helping us deal with that blue monstrosity that could had wrecked this car. Well hurt you too since I love you just as much," the Latino driver reassured.
"All that's left is hoping Rouge and the others free our robo friends while they can. I doubt our née friends will be able to hold that metal menace for too long," Janet said.
"Two!" Sheik called.
A familiar blue squid finally flew past the car at high speeds. The rush blew the hair of Clarissa and Janet hard enough with the forces.
"What the hell was that?" the blonde girl exclaimed.
That blue flying object would be flying dangerously close to the very water that would dissolve him if he's careful d we bought. Corrin could recognize who this is and grew concerned about him. Ecco is already swimming up the aerial water stream at high speeds to care about slowly down for the dragon prince ahead of him.
"Inkling look out! You're going to..."
A Wolfen would swoop down just to take the splat of the blue inky squid on the side of them. It turned out to be the Wolfen of Pigma's, who is irritated that his cockpit glass has splotches of that blue ink on the sides of his view. This caused the pig pilot to struggle flying and only hope he doesn't crash.
"Leon! Come in Leon! Some fool decided to throw a bucket of paint on my ship. It's expensive and they owe me a lot of money for the next ship wash!" he beamed.
The dizzy blue squid would be thankfully nesting in the blue mess he made as jumping off the ship wouldn't be a very wise move. Male Wii Fit Trainer is once again doing his daily stretching exercises to fully prepare his body than taking part of the fight at all. This left Gray Fox speechless as he regrets ever partnering with someone like him. A large golden werewolf would land and lets out the largest howl to signal his very allies that were worried about him. Selvaria would finally notice who this was now that Welkin is preoccupied with watching his wife hesitate to continue attacking her target. Orta and Prince Ali looks down after the dragon drew closer to where Rouge last flew.
"Is that who I think it is?" the prince asks.
Both of the Clockwork Knights raised their steel flaps to get a better view of the familiar lycanthrope.
"Tally ho! Well if it isn't our Altered Beast ally?" Sir Pepper said in joy.
Ristar had little time to turn around as he's preparing to launch himself and his allies into Mecha Sonic'a mouth.
"Centurion...get over here...so I can launch you inside of him. If you want revenge for what... he did to you...then cause all the damage you can inside his weak points!" the star child shouts.
"The star faced kiddo is correct. Anyone else who wants to come better gather around inside his arms!" Terry shouts.
"Think of it as a giant slingshot, kuma! He will launch as many people inside as possible!" Taupy shouts.
Shogun made sure to use the Horn if it means applying the sound. He made sure to lower the proximity as having it too high like he did for Sora's song would attract the wrong attention from outside forces.
"One! You all have one second if you want to come along!" the Sheikah shouts.
Lucario heard her loud and clear, using Extremespeed to blitz his way in her direction. MinMin used her own stretchy arms to reach for the long before Ristar and quickly pulling her body in that direction. Rosalina creates a Launch Star for herself before launching herself directly at them. The yellow Luma follows his mother figure as fast as he could at light speed. Richter carefully launched the spiky tip of Vampire Killer a few feet before the spot MinMin's Gigavolt is if it meant reeling himself over there. The determined Centurion knew what he had to do as he darts on all fours faster than everyone to follow Ristar's order. Sir Pepper quietly sneaks off to his horse ally Barobaro, then comically taking off while Sir Ginger wasn't looking to beat him.
"Sorry old bean, but this knight has his code of chivalry at stake. Onward to the monster's throat in order to slice it apart!" he shouts before his horse whinnies.
The Ice Climbers choose to hop across Aqua Man's own Water Cannon trail as a "shortcut" if it meant reaching the mouth faster like Corrin and Ecco. Their climbing boots froze the water within each hop to make their progress all more easier than sinking in the airborne torrents. Lucina already dashed ahead of Chrom with blade in hand to join the others on their plan.
"Lucina!" he called.
"Don't worry father, I'll make it back alive!" she replies during her quick run.
Rodin would take one last smoke atop of cloud to single the last second everyone gets a chance to get inside. The bald shades wearing demon was intentionally holding back, saving his true strength for the grand finale when things are over.
You all better hurry. I never damned a mechanical being before, but oh what the hell. My friends from the other side are hungry for an evil soul to torture.
"Ristar allows the remaining few heroes to get in between his arms while they can. Gray Fox lets out a sigh and left his fitness obsessed ally alone to join everyone else on the infiltration mission. He would notice Snake running next to him as well out of his own interests. "I heard you all have a special mission. Let me assist you for good old times," the bearded soldier said.
Gray Fox chuckles as he is glad someone is taking this as serious as him. They both noticed Selvaria rushing past them in a blur thanks to her Valkyrian flames boosting her overall speed for the mission. The star child would already notice Corrin, the Ice Climbers, and Ecco jumping inside of the mouth of Mecha Sonic as the jaw is still held open by Gigantomaxed Machamp's powerful hands. Block Man would be riding on one of his own blocks at the last minute as if it were a raft to make it there while Aqua Man shoots all the water he had.
"Hurry up, because my water tank will be empty soon, boson. Refilling will not be very easy!" the robot beamed.
It was then when Prince Ali would have a very good idea after looking at his Golden Armlet once more. Orta is wondering what her partner is thinking about, then realize exactly who he plans to summon once more to help the water robot down below.
"You want me to fly you closer and be of assistance?" she asked.
"Yes, I would appreciate that alot. Dytto will be needed one last time to be of help," the prince replied with a smile.
Shrek knew that there is no more time to wait on anyone else and shouts,
"Now! Launch us at the mouth!"
Before Snake and Gray Fox jumped at the last minuted, the long armed star boy finally launched himself along with the entire cluster of heroes into the air at high speeds. Incineroar held Lucas and Lucina tightly to protect them during their flight. Richter rewraps Vampire Killer to keep his trademark weapon completely secure. It appears Dark Pit narrowly jumped along with everyone else at the risk of not asking Viridi for the Power of Flight again. Byleth felt uneasy about Selvaria's power, mostly due to seeing it as too familiar. Terry holds the tip of his cap in place if it means keeping it from flying off his head. Taupy clings to the face of Barobaro, causing the toy horse to let out a frightened neigh and Sir Pepper trying to calm him down. Jack smirks due to looking forward to this trip in the mouth of the beast. Ristar is more determined then ever just like the Gold Werewolf that desires the payback for Mecha Sonic almost costing his power. The golden furry beast lets out one final howl to signal the dawn of his revenge. Gravity Man smiles once he caught wind of the flying crowd that finally gotten inside of his target's jaws, still holding him down with all he had.
"Good luck, save all the others for me. Because this bot will wish he was never created," he said.
Aqua Man finally realized that his tank is close to empty with only a gallon remaining in his near translucent potbelly tank. It wouldn't be until he notice a small blue fairy fluttering near him.
"Need a hand?" she asks.
He his surprised at her sudden appearance, but keeps squirting as he did not want Block Man to fail reaching the mouth of his enemy.
"And just what makes you think I would let some insignificant winged spec help?" he barked.
She creates a small orb of water with her very hands just to demonstrate just how helpful she can be. It is then when he realized that he has a way to keep his water supply from ever getting empty.
"Water lady, you can be at my service any time," he said with gratitude.
Elec Man would already be in the source of where everyone is heading, highly appalled at what is happening with his fellow robots. From the sight of some robots seemingly bound and pierced by these cords to the lifeless states their faces were in, he felt nothing more than pure rage at what Mecha Sonic is doing with them if it meant maintaining the monstrous form he has. Sparks and electrical surges would be flowing throughout his body as he's doing his best not to fully shock anyone harmless within his proximity. He already noticed the fallen Gamma that could barely stand anymore, knowing well that Elec Man can not help without any knowledge of building machines. Omega is still hanging from the same spot without a sign of life at all and Agent Seven continues her agonized screams from her slow painful blood loss.
"This isn't what I would imagine as fair treatment of your own subordinates. But you really cross a line when you dare hurt innocents who simply wanted to save this lost cubical world. Oh a fate, to be bound and imprisoned in such a bad fate. This isn't something that anyone would consider good hospitality for a robot. Robots that are willing to hurt other robots like this do not deserve to be labeled as a robot at all," Elec Man rambles dramatically.
Gamma could hear him from a few feet, only using what power he had to scan his appearance for any signs of him being a friend or foe.
What the robot could learn is that he is indeed a creation of Doctor Light that was created to help with electrical power plants and once fought Mega Man after being reprogrammed by Wily as his personal soldier. But what is more interesting is that he knows he was once affiliated with the Smash Brothers, which gave the robot confirmation that he is here for a reason. Struggling to stay on his weakened legs, the robot would be wobbling too hard to be able to stand any longer. Elec Man would finally notice and dashed at the red robot before he would finally fall to the ground. He succeeds in catching him before any further damage would happen, growing concerned about the state of his fellow robot.
"Don't you worry, I will make sure you get fixed up. But the chances of us finding a mechanic here is very low. Unless the others managed to launch themselves in the mouth," he said in concern.
Gamma would blink the lights of his eyes once more to try responding to his electric savior, struggling to move his arm. Shadow and Rouge finally landed before the two in a hectic tango between colliding minds. The normally serious hedgehog is still in a state of shock and mania over the failure of his leadership.
"What the heck is going on between you two, Romeo and Juliet?" Elec Man exclaimed.
"Do not even imply that we are anything more than allies, thunder boy!" the bat barked as she rolls around with her panicking partner.
Gamma slowly turned his head to see that both of his allies were tussling for a reason he could not comprehend. All he desires is to get some repairs to make up for the damages of being bound to the ceiling like the other unfortunate robot victims.
"Shadow…I need assistance with repairs," the robot said.
Shadow is too busy hyperventilating and trying to shake off Rouge to listen to the robot's request. Elec Man would even be surprised that the normally serious leader is having a freak out this bad at all. Then a downpour of water would be pouring from the throat above that finally splashed atop the the fighting G.U.N. agents with cold wetness. The sight would be so unusual that even Gamma would use what little power he had to scan the suspicious water source that seems out of place within Mecha Sonic. Some of the data that appeared would be the result of Aqua Man's own water source, directly stating his abilities like the Water Balloon and Water Cannon. Elec Man would have a look of disapproval since he could already tell that his robot ally is going overboard by literally feeding their own enemy water for unspecified reasons.
"Of course, only that juvenile water balloon of a machine would be doing this," he said.
Rouge and Shadow would be lying in the small growing puddle that formed from the downpour in utter silence. The liquid rushed past the large white ears of the bat as she listens to what and where could it come from. Some of the sounds she picked up where the voices of a high pitched duo, dolphin cackles, and what appears to be a regal voice. She could recognize one of them since Ecco is one of their closest teammates. Shadow on the other hand is still unconscious as if this is the end result of his panic attack and post traumatic stress caused by Infinite.
"Geronimo!" a voice called.
It would be the Ice Climbers sliding on the water path towards the bottom with everyone else. Rouge had a feeling they were the reason the water is so cold all of a sudden, shivering at the touch of the freezing liquid. That is not all as Ecco would be swimming directly behind them. He is noticeably fine with the cold water temperatures as he traveled to the Arctic before to see the Great White One before in the past. Instead, cheerfully chirping to signal everyone else without using his sonar. And behind him would be the dragon prince himself surfing on the watery downpour behind him with his blue cape fluttering. As usual, no temperature of water truly bothers him as he is one with water like his Vallite accomplice Azura.
"Help is on the way! We will free all the captured machines here!" he called.
Elec Man did a slight chuckle since he did not expect Corrin to even be one of the first Smash members to get here. Although he did expect the Ice Climbers due to their excellent jumping and climbing experience. Rouge would use this time to slowly get to her feet despite being soaked before the four were to crash into them. She remembered that Shadow is unconscious, quickly lifting him to his feet before waddling away for safety.
Do not worry Shadow, I will take care of things from here. Just rest easy.
The Ice Climbers finally jumped off of the downpour to land directly before Elec Man and Gamma to see how they were doing. Ecco would immediately jump off and shift into his seagull form for a smooth landing as he did not want to be thrown against solid ground unlike earlier. And this leaves Corrin to jump from the height he's at to swiftly land. He made sure to grow a pair of gray dragon wings to slow down the fall as he would rather not get himself too hurt. The prince looked around just to see the horrifying sight of all these robots dead and decorated as if they were hung corpses. But what shocked him the most is the sight of a bleeding barely alive Agent Seven still struggling despite the situation she is in. He covers his mouth in shock, almost growing angry that this even happened to these poor victims.
"What happened to you Elec Man? You have a friend that needs to be fixed?" Nana asked.
"I wish we can help, but machinery is not our area of expertise. Maybe wait until more people arrive. I am only here to smash stuff," Popo said.
"Well save the beautiful destruction for later as you can tell these miserable mechanical souls are in dire need of being free from this jungle of cords above first. The last thing we need is to destroy them while they are still here," the electric robot explains.
"Right," both Ice Climbers said in unison.
The fluttering Ecco would observe the depressing sight of so many robots flying everywhere. The sight of so many damaged dead machines would unnerve the white bird quite a lot. Rouge finally made her way closer to Gamma with Shadow still over her shoulder. She looks around to see what could be done as more water would be pouring down to slowly fill the massive floor.
"Gamma, you think you can hang tight. I need someone to hold Shadow while I fix you," she said.
Popo and Nana carefully taken Shadow from her to act as assistance.
"Leave it to us. Us fellow Smash Brothers have to take care of each other. We have a lot of respect for Mr. Shadow of all Assists," they said together.
Rouge winks at them now that her hands are free to give Gamma the assistance he needs. Gamma wished he could express his gratitude, but his body was in enough damage to even respond.
"Elec Man, why don't you be a kind man and let me handle his repairs. I am not sure what you can do when it could be too dangerous to electrocute these robots up here," the bat called.
Elec Man wonders that something could be done if it means helping free everyone.
"I know the right robot for the job. The blue savior or would you prefer blue bomber instead. He has just the right tools that should help free all these robots. I will be back as he is probably using his powerful blows on the outside as usual," he said.
Rouge eventually takes Gamma from him using the strength she had and the electric robot instantly teleports out of the room in a flash of yellow. Taking out a pair of tools she would use on the G.U.N.'s best machinery, she would begin her work on fixing Gamma's body.
"Th…thank you Rouge. Once…I am fixed…assist my brother," the broken robot asks.
"I will. Omega goes way back. He means alot to us as much as he means alot to you. You two red destruction brothers will be fighting together in no time," she said in a hopeful tone.
Corrin carefully watched everything from behind, mostly out of fascination since he never been someone to work with advanced technology instead of the usual catapults and clockwork switches in Nohr or Hoshido. He could tell that the water is still running all over the ground. This would mean that Aqua Man is somehow shooting more water than usual from another source and for a reason Corrin's little group is unaware of. Ecco remains in the form of a seagull as there is not enough water to become any other helpful forms. Another thing is that his Vortex Drone would not only alarm allies who are unaware of his powers, but make him too vulnerable to be killed on accident. He laments if there is a way he can explain things without using his sonar, which he needs to be in his main form in order to communicate to non-animal allies. Popo and Nana still held the hedgehog between them while carefully making sure no harm happens to him as long as they were huddled. Mega Man, Proto Man, and Elec Man instantly teleported back in the room together after some discussion from the outside. It seems the shield wielding robot is less than impressed that he is saved from an exciting fight just for something smaller like freeing robots. Mega Man would instantly see just the sight that would disgust him, the countless robots held by cords that wrapped around and pierced all parts of these robots. He could tell by the gruesome damage to them that they need not only a reactivation, but full on repairs to be back to the way they were.
"This is plain horrible. We have to get all of these robots out of here. But we will have to do it very carefully if it means not destroying their body. A single Rolling Cutter will not do. We need to think carefully," the blue robot said.
"Give it up Mega Man, it would take needing to cut down these wires with wire cutters or some other safe way that won't take them apart accidentally. Why don't we ask that red robot how he escaped since it seems like he is the only one who made it out safely?" Proto Man suggests.
Elec Man knew this would be tough when even his siblings agree that their way wouldn't be the best way. Rouge is almost done with the repairs on Gamma, which left only his internal system left to fix. His limbs are back in order along with his body being free of all holes that initially pierced him. The Ice Climbers gleefully smiled at the progress that Rouge is going well with the progress of fixing the gentle robot. Corrin's large ears eventually picks up the sounds of loud screaming from above the throat, growing incredibly cautious at what could be heading their way. Even Ecco would turn his white head upwards to the sound of these screams in the distance. The Ice Climbers already begin to shiver in fear at the thought they were all followed. This uncontrollable rumbling would wind up shaking the hedgehog enough times to slowly awaken him. The black hedgehog eventually opens his eyes slowly just to see the sight of Rouge before him working on Gamma. The Ice Climbers would notice this and stops the shivering if it meant to annoy him much less. Mega Man already gotten his buster cannon ready in case these were other enemies, same for his willing brother with his red arm cannon.
"Someone guard the robots, maybe these must be reinforcements called by that cowardly robot," Proto Man said.
"Or they are the other other Smash Brothers here to assist us. I did notice that a majority of them were missing when I came outside to get you two," Elec Man said.
"Rouge! We are all coming to see you!" a familiar voice called.
The bat instantly picked up the sound of this voice and wondered, "Ristar, he got in here that fast? But with who?"
This would instantly wake up Shadow immediately since he remembers exactly why he is here. The first thing the hedgehog did would be looking at the ceiling for his ally Omega. He instantly spots the robot and instantly warps to his location with a short ranged Chaos Control. With a few precise careful swaps, he finally disabled all the wires that helped the large robot prisoner. Omega instantly fell to the ground while still in his dad state. Rouge finally closes the hatch to the back of Gamma and backs away with her work done.
"There, that is all I can do….Omega!" she called.
Shadow already heard her loud and clear as he warps again just to break his fall with both hands in an instant.
"Got you. Hold on there, I will fix you in a minute," he said.
Rouge lets out a sigh of relief and the Ice Climbers cheered. Gamma instantly illuminates his eyes to show some sign of life, cocking his transformed gun arm once more in triumph. He would be the first to see that Shadow begins his work on Omega in a jiffy and tests his visor by scanning both parties. He could identify that Shadow is who he really is and Omega's own power levels are still down due to Mecha Sonic's cords.
"Scan complete. My brother shall be improved and renewed to whoever Shadow see fit. Now where was I?" the robot said.
He would instantly look at the ceiling to see all the Robot Masters above as Mega Man and his two siblings did to think of a plan. Rouge would be still concerned for who is starting to fall where they were right now and flies into the air. But her ears would also pick up the sounds of thick dripping unlike the water that is already pouring down the hole. Ecco uses his seagull beak to sniff up the traces of what this dripping liquid would be. Corrin also sniffs with his excellent nose, realizing this smell is pungent as it is awfully familiar to him for some reason. Mega Man eventually notice would would be clouds of red in the water that is filling up on the ground. Proto Man had a bad feeling about what he's seeing as robot oil isn't so easily diluted nor is it a red so bright. His conclusion came to it being more of an organic being origin. Gamma would be firing all over the ceiling with a variety of his heatseeking missiles. This surprised Rouge and easily Shadow as he is almost doing taking care of Omega.
"What are you doing Gamma? You will destroy them that way!" he called.
Elec Man would be pointing his finger tip at him out of anger due to the robot's rash methods of trying to save everyone. Mega Man puts his arms around the electric robot to restrain him from ever attacking.
"Do not think about it. I am confused as you are, but we have better things to do than hurt each other," he said.
"You dare to get in my way when this heartless steel villain is hurting them than helping them? You are the same as always, Mega Man," he complains.
Rouge drew close to Gamma from behind in an attempt to try stripping his mindless shooting.
"What is wrong? We are thinking of better ways to get them all down that will not destroy them. Come on, can you hold your fire?" the bat asks.
"No, I affirm this is the fastest and most efficient way. My missiles will destroy all of the debris and cords that constrict these robots. Let us not forget that they are deactivated and will not feel any pain. I will not destroy them but instead all the very things that hold them down. But with the vast numbers, I will be needing Omega's assistance. Tell Shadow to hurry with the repairs," the red robot replied.
"I am going as fast as I can. But at least you gave good justification for your mindless shooting. You better be right," the hedgehog hedgehog replied.
Rouge would notice several Robot Masters like Tengu Man and Turbo Man fallen on the ground without any additional damage. The black debris on the ground would be proof that whatever tangled them up there would be easily destroyed by Gamma with all of his destructive missiles. Elec Man would at least be dumbfounded that Gamma is right about how his way of doing things didn't hurt the robots in any way as Mega Man would lose the grip of his blue arms around him. Proto Man smiles as the robot had just the right idea, beginning to fire his Proto Buster at parts of the ceiling that has yet to be hit. The water on the floor would soon be enough to cover the lower legs of nearly everyone at this rate. This gave Corrin an idea due to this much water being around him before he would make a wide smile. Even the Ice Climbers felt there is something they can do with everyone doing their part.
"Ready to do the Squall Hammer, Nana?" Popo asks before grasping his pink partner's hand.
"I was thinking more Blizzard, but smashing stuff is even more fun," Nana replies before taking out her hammer.
Corrin instantly shifts into his intimidating dragon form before letting out the mightiest roar ever. Rouge begins to flutter into the air to join the boys on their blasting as she just have the right idea.
"Now boys, how about we light the place up with their cuteness," she said.
The bat spreads her wings to release a few small white orbs. These orbs would eventually grow into a large bat-like balloon bombs that have the same features as Rouge. These were called Bat Crackers, bombs that Rouge designed in her image to act as mines that heatseek on her desired enemies. These balloon bats would begin floating for the ceiling in one large group for their feminine creator's command. Mega Man felt something about these bats were too familiar in an uncomfortable way with their shape as organic bats. Ecco shifts into his dolphin form once more as it would be time to use his strongest sonar attack to make some noise. He takes a deep breath while lifting his body to gather all the air in his lungs. The first who would land would be none other than the shooting star child himself that makes a splash. He rebounds into the air just to see what everyone is doing. Mega Man finally joins in on the destruction with his Mega Buster just as Elec Man spams his Thunder Beams in different directions with his fingers. Corrin sends torrents of rushing water typhoons out of his dragon fangs during his dragon rampage around the room. Rogue's Bat Crackers exploded all over the ceiling along with the accompanying sound of Proto Man firing his Proto Buster all over. More and more robots would fall from the ceiling, splashing down in the rising water that continues to fill the room. Omega would finally be finished with his repairs before Shadow would focus on helping everyone with his own Chaos powers. Ecco finally released a series of loud echolocate sounds to fire his strongest sonar. The massive sound waves fired from all directions of the cetacean and plowed through massive parts of the metal surfaces everywhere. Ristar would be excited that everyone is having the right idea for the job.
"Yes, keep it going. We will save everyone in no time. Just you wait, I will be shooting all over. But I need something to spin around first…" the star child said.
He would notice the long slender neck of Corrin in plain sight as an easy target for his long arms. Jack instantly slams down on the ground with his cybernetic fist ready to brawl, soon followed by Taupy who did a series of quick martial arts strikes to flaunt his strength. Lucas gently floats onto the water below with his PSI powers, Lucina lands before taking out her prized Falchion for battle, Terry Power Dunks with style to make a big splash, Byleth floats down with his ancient sword finally detected to its full length, Dark Pit spreads his wings with both his Guardian Orbitars ready, Rosalina gently floats down with her Luma child ready to fight beside her again, Incineroar instantly jumps on Rosalina out of fear from the water putting out his flame belt, Grey Fox lands before lashing out his famed blade in excellency, Snake finally enters the scene with all of his best weaponry ready for the destruction, Roy gathers the flames he need as he walks from his landing spot, Richter lashes around Vampire Killer after his perfect landing, MinMin kicks around her powerful legs after her arms helped in making her reach the ground, and Lucario gathers his aura to become his Mega Evolution once more. The mighty Centurion finally lands before letting out the loudest howl ever now that he can exact his revenge. Barbara finally lands hime traumatized, but with his brave master Sir Pepper raising his trusty keyblade for battle. Lastly, Selvaria finally lands with all the azure flames gathered throughout her to unleash the true powers of a Valkyria. The entire calvary is here to begin the true battle within like everyone else. Even the formerly deactivated Omega is functional once more as hey is watching everyone attack the ceiling for some reason. The robot soon activates his finger guns anyway and aims for the ceiling due to his love of destroying things.
"Query, I do not understand the state of this. But everything must be eliminated. Sensing traces of the enemy everyone. Must annihilate it!" he beamed.
"Great to have you back, brother. Join in with all you've got. I believe in your powerful weaponry," Gamma said.
"Chaaaaooooooss Spear!" Shadow shouts as he fired his trademark chaos arrows at the steel ceiling.
Selvaria sent out multiple shockwaves of blue aura from her Valkyrian lance within each mighty swing. Lucario fires a massive Aurastorm after fully charging every ounce of aura needed for the attack.
"Grand Cross!" Richter shouts at the top of his lungs.
As a result, countless blue crosses of aura would fly from his body and into the ceiling to rupture it. MinMin unleashes the strongest rush attack she can too rapidly punch the walls with all of her might. Centurion rapidly charged all over the place with his Golden Werewolf charge at full force.
"PK Love!" Lucas called before firing his strongest PSI attack around the room.
Ristar would be spinning around the neck of a confused Corrin that snarls at the star boy's strange use of parkouring.
"Just hang in there, I will launch myself when needed," he called.
Sir Pepper would be throwing his keyblade at the ceiling as many times as possible as Barobaro constantly charged at the walls with his head. Roy, Byleth, and Lucina all dealt their Critical Hits on the walls of the beast to cause the worst of gashes. Terry unleashed the strongest EX Power Geyser to tear apart as much as he could in the room. Gray Fox slashed around the walls at high speeds and Snake launched all the weaponries he had possible. Rosalina commands her Luma to fire all the Star Bits he had eaten for the day, the Ice Climbers continued to kick herself around the ceiling with their Squall Hammer move. Soon more and more robots would be falling en masse more and more. The weight of their bodies would also cause the water still pouring in the room to slowly fill up more and more. Incineroar would be now jumping onto the back of Corrin to save himself, causing the dragon to roar in pain from his claws. Ristar finally lets go to be launching himself at the speed of light to launch around the room violently as promised. The commotion everyone's causing is enough to cause Mecha Sonic to let out the largest screech in pain more than before.
Gravity Man and Gigantomax Machamp still held him down the best way they could as he violently twitches from each and all damage within his body. His mouth is even still overfilled with all the water that Aqua Man fires thanks to the endless supply that Dytto supplies him with. There is still Phosphora in the concentrated clouds from above with her fire held just whenever everyone is done doing their part. She does admire the idea of filling him with water as the electricity will be twice as lethal as long as he has a mass of wet conductible material inside of him to take advantage of him. Meanwhile, Phantom R and Heather had bigger problems in which the Phazon infected victims were trying to finally bust out of the quarantine gate that held them for so long. The mutated Koopas and Venom soldiers in particular were breaking down the massive blocks and wood that blocked their way for so long. The nervous thief would be ready for the first few creatures that dared to try escape. Heather would be as uneasy when she did promise to protect these victims and did not want to be forced to attack them.
"I hope they all have that cure ready. We are about to be the next victims of this virus unless we do something," Phantom R said nervously.
"Oh Headdy, I wish you were here to help. I am trying my best not to give up, but it seems I can't do anything right when alone," the feminine puppet lamented.
The more human Phazon victims cried for help as they could not take the pain from their mutations any longer. Some of them would have their own heads getting ready to explode due to overswelling or already attacking each other in their uncontrolled bloodlust. Heather changed into her Pig Head form as it could be one of her less lethal heads for this situation. Phantom R would slowly go through his own satchel for any weapon that could be of help. He does have a blade that he used to duel with Napoleon in the past, but refuses to use any weapon too lethal for innocent victims. But one tool that comes to mind is something he used one time to save Marie from Napoleon's goons, specifically an artifact he once stole very long ago during his past thief missions. The first thing he would take out is a sapphire ouroboros-like bracelet that is priceless enough for his puppet ally to stare at. Heather is amazed at just how beautiful that bracelet looks. But felt that there is no way it would be of any help when many infected soldiers are coming for them.
"Why are you not using any real weapons? Thieves like you should have guns or even knives. Not some expensive bracelet that will be too useless!" she beamed.
"Au contraire, madam. This is a rare artifact that would be of great help, just watch and learn," he said with bravery.
A few of the mutated Darknuts, Zeti, and Werewolves would use their monstrous strength to rip apart the other fencing that constructed their freedom to seek more potential victims. And this is not counting the mutated Mechon and Hige Hige Bandits that used their weaponry to blast away at the energy cage that restricted them from trying to fly away. It appears that all of the entrapped victims were doing their best to break free instead of hanging around any longer. Phantom R would slowly back up with the Bracelet of Tiamat adorned on his right hand ready in case any of the first free victims jumped for him. With enough heaving and power, the gates were finally being ripped open wide enough for the first few lucky Phazon zombies to make way for freedom. Even the electrical fencing would finally begin to fail due to being overpowered by the superior weaponry and power. Phantom R instantly raised the powerful bracelet into the air without any fear to use this ancient power once more to protect his ally. Heather instantly closes her eyes hoping what would happen would not end any badly. The beats finally book from their prison before charging at the two non-corrupt heroes immediately with their frightening cyan eyes on fresh prey to infect.
"It's a cure time, my patients!" as voice yelled.
Several large megavitamins would fly in the direction of the first few monsters to hit them at full force. The Capsule bursts into a cloud of the medicinal contents of the cure which some of these blue beasts would be engulfed in. Several of the other corrupted beast would be wondering what happened to them and snarls in caution. Then a few flying syringes would be fired as it were launched from a special gun. The needles perfected within the necks and other exposed parts of each victims. Even machines like the Mechon would be pierced by the special needles with their special steel alloy. Phantom R would lose his hand once he gotten a good look at what seems to be going on and Heather looks back immediately. Both of them would be wondering if the doctors came in time with the cure. Their questions would be answered when the muscles of the Darknut would be deflating as the beast's skin color would slowly return to normal. All of the blue veins it initially had would slowly disappear in due time as their eyes returned to having whites and colored scalera once more. The Venom soldier would lose all of his over muscular gorilla features to return to the slim monkey physique he had once more while sounding more and more human. The Koopa would cringe in pain before retreating inside of its large shell that would instantly shrink from the medicine. A Mechon would lose the semi organic features it once had while close losing the cold blue eyes it once had.
One Rocket Grunt would finally have his head shrink back to its normal size while his Phazon blood slowly changed back to the familiar red it should be. The flying needles and Megavitamins fired everywhere to hit all of the non-cured soldiers there one by one in a storm of confusion. Phantom R and Heather tries their best to keep up with everything that is going on left and right. Each of the out of control beasts would be subdued by the curses that hit them in spots where they least expected.
"What is going on, this is more than just a simple shot. But an entire doctor firing everything they have at their patients. This is not even possible," the pink puppet said.
"Hon hon hon, this is a very interesting turn about for everyone. Let us hope these cures will not have any fatal side affects," he said.
Doctor Light would walk in between them, holding a gun that just happen to be one of Auto's many inventions he thought would help him. It appears to be a gatling gun loaded with many syringes of the anti-Phazon cure just for the occasion. Dr. Frank N Stein also appears with what appears to be a wooden crossbow which he reloads with the similar cure needle rounds just for his intellect. Lastly, Doctor Mario appears with a few special Megavitamins in hand just for the occasion as the doctor who hates viruses as much as he hates a sick patient. Phantom R turns around with a hopeful smile and Heather gasps with both of her hands on her mouth. The bearded doctor chuckles in joy that he arrived in time as his semi bald ally emits an evil laugh that only his assistance Igor would be proud of. It will not be long until all of the victims are cured to the original ways they all once were. Mecha Sonic is still struggling within the gasps of his four armed behemoth attacker and the gravitational forces of a certain robot as he suffers the infernal turmoil between him. Aqua Man made sure to aim his water cannon in every direction the head faces to make sure he guzzles every ouch of water as Dytto keeps refilling his potbelly tank. Ali and Orta watches carefully on their dragon steed as they remain afloat. Even the VCPD, Star Wolf, and Ferrari gang held their fire the entire time just to see how well things were doing with his sudden reactions. Leon had his eye on the beast the entire time as if he had any plans of his own. The remaining Smash members that stood below him just had a bad feeling about what may happen despite the plan their other members were executing. Duck Hunt shivers in fear at what could be happening while Young Link cautiously guzzled his Lon Lon Milk. Wii Fit Trainer continues his deep breathing exercises to remain as calm as possible as Chrom wishes the best for his daughter's success in her mission.
"Fools…you really think this will be enough to finish me off? I do not care how many of those disposable machines you save, my form stays regardless because I absorbed countless metals from all around this worthless planet. You all need to accept your imminent death. Starting with this worthless four armed creature that thinks it can take on a god!" Mecha Sonic shouts.
He would start fighting with his strength to pry his six arms back in control despite Gravity Man doing his best. He is trying his best to fight back the monster's sudden will to break free from his powers. The robot is trying his best to hold him back as he's already at his limit at holding him back.
"Gravity Man! Hang in there and do not let him break from your grip!" Aqua Man shouts.
"Do not fail us now, robot. You have a promise to fulfill and losing to this delusional; broken toy will only break it!" Sir Ginger called.
"I know that one. It's just that he is suddenly getting stronger as if he wants to fight us off!" he shouts.
The admin had a bad feeling that his prized Pokemon's form will run out soon while thinking of the perfect way to end things. The Machamp himself already could tell his time is almost up when his strength is getting weaker and weaker at trying to hold him anymore nor keep his jaw open.
"This is bad. We really need a way to stop this monster if even our plan is starting to fail," the admin says in discomfort.
"Nevermind that blue blunder, he is just bluffing. All opponents bluff when they are backed in a corner and getting ready to lose. He is no different from the many trainers we all defeated to keep a good name for our group," James said.
"That's right, he is only full of hot air. Just spouting nonsensical drivel to puff out whatever metal chest he lacks. We will win this and he will only eat whatever words he have left," Jessie remarks.
What follows would be a low pitched chuckle that comes out of the mouth of the restrained steel beast that's still struggling against his enemies. Even the Smash warriors would grow cautious of his overconfident laughter in response to no one taking his threat serious. Princess Sora is still in worry about what would happen next despite her song clearly turning the tides for everyone. Shogun is also observant of Mecha Sonic's condition, feeling half of what he is saying isn't a bluff. Gravity Man could no longer do his best to hold back the beast any longer as a sign that things will start to turn for the worst. Mecha Sonic breaks his middle arms free to stab the massive Pokemon behind him with sharp claws, causing him to yell in pain. This results in him loosening his grip with all four hands as a result.
"Damn! Don't lose your ground, Machamp!" the red Rocket admin called.
Gravity Man finally collapsed due to overexerting his energy too much, but that would leave him wide open for a sudden tail stab that sent him flying beyond the horizon. Luckily a familiar mechanical claw would grab him in time before he would fly away. Arcade Bunny and the rest of his group managed to come in time before everything would go down.
"I hope we weren't too late for the party," the staonished rabbit employee said.
But it would not be until Mecha Sonic would aim his massive tail for the three Team Rocket admins in an attempt to crush them immediately. Machamp finally lets go of the beast's jaw and sides to grip the base of the tail with all four of his hands while he could. He pulls with his strength just to jerk the tip from crushing them immediately. Meowth faints as he is lucky to be saved at the last minute, but Jessie and James stood fearlessly as if they expected this.
"Foolish freak of nature, I will show you that a god shouldn't be trifled with. Especially a machine that surpass a mere flesh sack like you!" Mecha Sonic shouts.
He fires the beams from the sides of his tail into the air as the deadly projectiles would aim directly for the top of Machamp.
"Machamp use Cross Chop!" the red haired admin called.
The massive Pokemon would cross his arms in an X formation, which would begin glowing red to signal his deadliest attack. Mecha Sonic instead uses his metallic wings to cover his body as his second line off defense to take this attack. Normally Fighting Moves, especially ones as deadly as Cross Chop, would do severe damage to steel beings of any kinds. But surprisingly, the damages wings of Mecha Sonic had enough fight in them to take the attack at full force. However, the heat from his molten fists would generate enough power behind the move if it mean piercing his best defenses.
"Maaaaachamp!" the Pokemon desperately yells as he pressed harder than usual.
The lasers would finally be raining on his head and shoulders to severely damage him despite his efforts and Mecha Sonic slowly starts to struggle himself. The heat is starting to slowly burn what's left of the steel on his wings as they slowly crackle away. Even the arms of Mecha Sonic would be feeling this intense heat to his surprise. Star Wolf, Atolm, the VCPD force, the Ferrari force, Prince Ali's group, Dimentio, and Fawful fired their best shots at the beast from behind to weaken them with all they've got of it meant helping him out. Even the twin Octolings joined in with their inky Tents Missiles in the mix to weaken the monster.
"Shoot all you want, weaklings. Because ay defenses are so impenetrable that nothing would make a difference. My beams should be enough to weaken this foolish freak before I can end his mundane life," the mechanical beast shouts.
Suddenly, his arms and wings would be pried open by force and Machamp succeeds in hitting him with the Cross Chop. This caused him to roar wildly in pain as he takes enough heat to harm his bodying even affect his insides of intensity.
"How? What forced me to do this?" he shouts. "Why don't you see for yourself?" a voice shouts.
Everyone would turn to see that the very Zeti from Windy Hill that were rescued are outside of the ship. All of them were combining their electromagnetic controls as a super power if it meant controlling him to lower his guard. Machamp already begins to shrink as a result of his power finally running out. The red haired admin instantly ran off to call his ace back in the ball while he has the chance.
"But how? My alloys Eggman gave me made sure to cancel out your wretched abilities. This is preposterous and idiotic. I am the ultimate machine and not a toy to a bunch of inferior beings!" Mecha Sonic bellowed.
Even more Zeti started to appear. They would be from all of the regions specifically, even Lava Mountain as proof that they survived their encounter with Sephiroth. Lastly, the Deadly Six in all their glory came to assist their fellow Zeti in wrangling Mecha Sonic with all the power they had.
"Brothers and sisters, we will rip this worthless machine apart with all we've got. And my our world may never be threatened again!" Zavok shouts.
Mecha Sonic would be pent in very unnatural ways as a result of their actions. Rosalina helped warped everyone outside of him immediately before they would all be crushed by this tactic. This includes even the countless Robot Masters that are in need of repairs left scattered in different places. Even the unconscious but healed Agent Seven, who would be held in the arms by her princess partner for safety.
"Now Phosphora, let's finish this!" Dark Pit called.
The lightning goddess finally raised her hand into the air before swinging it down to force all the gathered lightning at him. The massive strike illuminates Mecha Sonic in a massive high voltage smite that even shocks everyone. The added water inside of his belly would circuit the electricity in the right places all over as it threatens him. Omega would scan the state of the machine, confirming that this is truly it for Mecha Sonic. The Zeti would all still be twisting the dragon despite the shock with their control of his electromagnetic body.
"You all… can't do this to me. I am the greatest creation of Dr. Ivo…Robotnik!None of you compare to me…not even that infernal blue hedgehog. This is not the last of me…I will be back to haunt all of you!" the metallic dragon screams.
He would used all the energy he has left to try charging a massive beam that could wipe out all of his enemies. Everyone knew that this is only his desperate last resort to fight back despite the odds in their favor. What happens instead would be a complete backfire in which his body overloads into a massive explosion. The last thing that would be heard is the robot's dying distorted scream from losing the power he had left.
The fight finally comes to an end. Mecha Sonic gotten damaged internally and externally, even having his precious anti-magnetic ally chipped away for the Zeti to exact their revenge. One could wonder what becomes of the Lost Hex with the damage that happened to it or the viallains who were saved from Mecha Sonic's cruelty, all will be explained in the next chapter. Hopefully for real when my health is improved and illness free. See you all later.
