Launch of the Egg Rocket! PART 3-

(Sonic and Tails have just defeated a Knuckles Metallix on the floating island. The only problem is, they've lost the Egg Rocket.)

Sonic: So Tails, what exactly WAS it that you did back there?

Tails: I'll explain later! Right now we need to catch up to the Egg Rocket!

Sonic:.. But how? It must be in SPACE by now..

Tails: Don't worry about it!!! (Tails gets out a remote, and presses a button on it.) I should be able to summon the Tornado from here!!

Sonic: But wasn't the Cyclone damaged?

Tails: Yeah, I know. We'll have to use your Tornado.

Sonic: But what good's a plane? He's in SPACE!!!

Tails: I doubt it. We were only fighting for a few minutes, and besides, I measured the Egg Rocket's power levels, and I'm surprised that thing can fly!! It's REALLY badly built.

Sonic: Hmm. (looks into space).. Yeah.Like it was made for a one way trip.

Tails: C'mon Sonic! The Tornado's here!!!

Sonic: Ookay! Let's go GET that rocket!!!

(They leap into the Tornado, and head straight upwards)

Sonic: Can't this thing go any faster?!

Tails: Just give me a minute!- Since my plane broke, I've been upgrading this one!!!

(Tails hits a button, and rocket boosters stick out each side of the plane)

Tails: Hang on!!

(The plane triples in speed)

BWWWOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSH!!!

Sonic: Yeah! Now THIS is speed!!

BIP!

Tails: I've got a lock on the Egg Rocket!! -I was right! He's NOT in space! He's just above the clouds!!!

(They fly through a thick layer of clouds, and can now see the Egg Rocket)

Tails: We need to hurry!! If my calculations are correct, he'll reach space in 30 seconds!!!

Sonic: Well, let's get him!!!

(Tails hits more buttons, and the planes speed increases yet again)

Tails: C'moon. faster..

(27.)

Sonic: Great! We're level with the Egg Rocket!!!

(The plane begins to slow, and the Egg Rocket gets further ahead)

Sonic: WHAT the?!

Tails: All this extra speed has really burned up the fuel!!! We need to bail out!!

Sonic: Oh, GREAT.

(20.)

(The plane begins to sputter)

P-KUK! P-KUKK!!!

Tails: Oh no!!

Sonic: What do we do?

Tails: I've got an idea! Fire Power Laser!!!

Sonic: Huh?

(A Power laser fires directly at the Egg Rocket, shattering pieces off of it's surface.Twisted metal begins to fall)

PHRAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!

Tails: I THINK you know what to do!!

Sonic: You GOT it!!!

(Sonic grabs Tails, and effortlessly leaps up the falling metal and into the hole they made in the Egg Rocket.)

Sonic: Perfect!!!

Tails: Umm, there's ONE problem.

(3.)

Tails: RUN! Get away from here!!!

(Sonic grabs Tails' arm and runs to a higher part of the rocket. They are on a metal grate platform, and can see the jets below them)

Sonic: Phew! We MADE it!!!

Tails: I don't know.

Sonic: What?

Tails: Now that the hull is damaged, the rocket might not survive leaving the atmosphere!!!

Sonic: WHAT?!

CRASHHH!!!

(the sides of the rocket below them start to melt)

Tails: Run for it!!We need to get to the main area!!

Sonic: Got it!!

(Sonic grabs Tails' arm and runs up countless flights of stairs.)

Sonic: I can't see any doorways!

Tails: Great.. It looks like this is the mechanics area. There's no way to the main ship from here.

Sonic: Then we'll just have to make one!

(Sonic revs up a spin dash)

Tails: Sonic, NO!!! If you break the hull at the wrong place, we'll be sucked out into space!!!

Sonic: (Stops spindashing) Have you got a better idea?

Tails: We need to locate the control room, then break into it!

Sonic: (looks down) Umm, Tails? This rockets burning up! Pretty soon the control room will be all that's LEFT!

Tails: I know! If I use a heat scanner to-oh, wait..

Sonic: We're just gonna haveta take a risk!

Tails: Sonic, NO!! We'll DIE!!

Sonic: Look, we'll die if we just sit here. At least my way there's a chance we won't! CRRRR-EEEAAAK-KBOOM!!!

(The whole rocket shakes for a few seconds)

Tails: What was that?

Sonic: A signal for us to GET OUTTA here!! C'mon Tails! Let's go for it!!!

(They both rev up a spin dash, aiming at the wall in front of them.)
