Scratch One Chicken

---------------------------Mission Failed?

There was no doubt in Scratch's mind now, he was going to blow this base sky high now...even if he didn't make it out to Celebrate. He didn't know where along the line that he realised it, it might've been a little while ago. But the Freedom Fight was his fight too!

This could've been easy, untill he got a look of the Sky deck and stopped in his tracks, he had to. Another step and he would've fell right off the edge of the platform! The whole sky deck was destroyed by Sonic running though her to leave only small Platforms around the area. "Oh man...maybe this wasn't such a hot idea..." Scratch said nerviously before he tried to turn around.

"I would have to agree with you..."

What he seen behind him almost made him jump out his Robotic skin. Metal Sonic was hovering at eye level looking at the Chicken, but was floating upside down with his arms folded over his chest. " End of the line for you, 0000000001."

Scratch wanted to mutter something, but was cut off with a quick punch to the beak which knocked him backwards. He ran out of floorspace behind him and started to fall. Scratch couldn't think now, and he needed to now then ever.

Okay, nothing to panic about! Though it was the direct opposite in this situation, he could hear Metal's booster's blasting off as it charged down to follow up the blow but he was too scared for his life to look up right now!

'Reach up Stupid!'

That voice, that voice was Robotnik's and it ran though his head clearly! Somehow Robotnik was sending radio signals though his head even now, probally watching this whole battle with a confident smirk on his face...

Not only did the Doctor have a confident smirk on his face, the trumph card was tied up with powered bands behind him. Sonic had his legs tired and his arms tired to a pole with some Duct tape over his mouth so he couldn't talk (The bands were powered magnets, so he couldn't just break them). Sonic watched the screen along with Robotnik, it was the only thing he could do right now.

Scratch whipped his arms out in front of him and caught onto some metal, his right fist made contact with the right side of Metal's face and stunned him enough so Scratch could turn around. He flapped his wings like he did before so he could hover, but Metal recovered quickly and grabbed onto his tailfeathers, yanking hard on them to make a little ripping sound.

Scratch tried to kick him off, but couldn't get his legs around to kick at him! Metal slowly started to climb at up the back of the Chicken to put a arm around his long neck so he could whip his head back, the other was put around his neck to put his arms at his sides. Scratch could only start to squirm around, though he was bigger then Metal, the Mech still had the upper hand right here.

Metal was about to do the finishing blow, at least it would be for a robot as his hand scraped across the front of the metalic Plate of Scratch's chest to open the pannel slowly. Robotnik and Sonic where able to see the glowing stone inside of there, larger then a Chaos Emerald at least which a brillant amount of energy comming though it. Robotnik grinned evily, he was so close to getting the gem now, he didn't even see the small figure rushing though the doors of Sky Deck on the upper platform.

Metal was about to put his claws around the gem in his chest when he heard the screeching of someone behind him. The Robot's head turned around to see a Monkey flying down from the platform and landing on his face. Coconuts started to claw at Metal's face as he sat on the Robot's shoulders.

" I won't let you destory my friend ya tin can! Let him go, let him...!" He was grabbed by the neck by both of Metal's hands and gasped slightly before he started to squirm around wildly to get free.

Metal had unnoticably let Scratch go to deal with Coconuts, which gave the Chicken enough time to give him and the Mech some space. He looked back at Metal, who was trying to pop Coconut's head off by squeezing around his neck. Scratch moved his hand over his open Chestpannel and felt the Dynamite that was inside, that gave him a idea, but it never worked before when he tried to catch Sonic...

"Grrrrrr..." Coconuts swung the lower part of his frame up to let that long tail come around and smack the Mecha in the face to try and make it flinch. He was starting to feel the squeeze right now and couldn't wait for Scratch anymore.

Scratch took the ball of Dynamite out and put it with the heat comming from the Omega stone before looking back to Mecha Sonic. He had to see how dumb Robotnik actually made his 'bots. "Hey Metal!" The robot turned his head towards Scratch who was holding the ball in the air waving it to get his attention. "Go long Metal!" He threw the ball of Dynamite towards the Mecha which soared though the air.

Metal looked at the Ball comming and turned around completely to face it, and at the last second dropped Coconuts so he could catch the ball. He blinked, those red lights in his eyes fading before lighting up strong again. He looked down at what he just caught for a second before looking back at Scratch. "I got it, I got it! I got i-"

There was a flash of white light before the bomb exploded in Metal's hands, sending Scratch backwards. He would've stayed around to watch the show untill he remembered that Coconuts was screaming as he fell down to the bottom of the ship. Scratch dived down and catch the Monkey by the tail before landing on a low platform.

Coconuts was placed down on the ground when they got some clear ground and looked back up at Scratch, giving him a thumbs up. " Scratch, ya did it again! That was great!"

Scratch shook his head again, looking up at the area above which lead to the rest of the Egg Carrier. He folded his arms along his chest before he sighed heavily. "I blew it again, big time. " He didn't catch his own pun, not untill Coconuts started to snicker. "Really! I bet Sonic that I was going to blow this place sky high! I just used that bomb on Metal!"

Coconuts thought for a second, Scratch was right, but there had to be a way around it! "Ummm...what about the Omega Stone?"

"What about the Omega Stone?!" Scratch snapped looking back to Coconuts.

The Monkey walked forward and looked at the gem on the still opened Chestplate. "Fer Robotnik to want it so much, that gem must be full of power!"

"So are the Chaos Emeralds, but ya don't see him goin' after them!" Scratch sighed and moved to sit down on the edge of the platform, the mission seemed pretty hopeless right now.

"But ya remember what happened when Robotnik tried to use the Chaos Emeralds? His machines exploded!" Coconuts moved his arms out to his sides to show what he ment.

Scratch looked up for a second, and then broke a big grin on his beak. " So you're sayin..."

" If you get the Omega Stone into the Engine of the Egg Carrier, you can overpower the Engine and make it explode!"

That was what Scratch could do, he stood up and looked up at the upper platforms so he could think out loud. " Perfect! Do you know where the the engine is?"

"Up in the control room, Robuttnik is up there too!" He watched Scratch take off, hovering off on the platform and then looking back at him. "Hey, can I come with you?"

"Course not! " Scratch said confident, he flew up a little higher before he turned and flew up high. " Someone has to clean this mess!"

Coconuts took no time in thinking this time and started to scream at him while flailing his arms. "Stop calling me a Janitorbot! I'm not a janitorbot anymore! You can't leave me here Scratch! I don't even have my mop!"

Robotnik sighed heavily before he turned back to Sonic with a smirk on his face, the hedgehog just glared at him with those emerald green eyes. "Well, I'll get him yet, but I already have you! We'll start the Robotization process now."

Robotnik's chubby hand came over and grabbed the pole that Sonic was tied to, yanking it out of the foundation. He grabbed the arms of Sonic and Sonic started to flail out at him, trying to kick him with those legs tied toghter. Sonic never liked feeling helpless in a situation was serious as this, he had no plan right now and could only hope that someone got to him in time...
