Sonic and Tails arrive at the border of Robotropolis.
"All right little bro. Come on. She should be around here somewhere." Says Sonic, "Just be careful Tails."
"I'll go to any lengths to rescue her Sonic." Replied Tails.
Sonic smiles at Tails, and they enter the mechanized city. Green gunk drips from pipes, gears turn, and smog bellows out of large smoke stacks. A swat bot walks by them, and Sonic takes it out in a second. They encounter a few Swatbots, but all in all it's a pretty easy task getting to Robotnik's main tower. This worries Sonic a bit, as it shouldn't be this easy to get to him. Either way though, they must keep their priorities straight, and right now, Amy is there top priority. They enter the tower, and they are ambushed by Swatbot after Swatbot. Sonic and Tails realizes that it's not going to be so easy after all. Sonic takes out a bunch of Swatbots, and they enter an elevator that will take them up to the floor that Robotnik is in.
A small television monitor shows Sonic and Tails slowly moving up the large tower. Robotnik watches this in his chair, his rolls of fat jiggling as he laughs.
"Foolish Hedgehog. Ah ha-ha-ha-ha!!" Chortles Robotnik, "Is our present for the blue rat ready Snively?"
"Finished, it is Sir." Says Snively.
"Ah.Very good."
Robotnik pushes a button his chair, and it slowly hovers upward. A small rocket booster on the bottom of the chair keeps him afloat. He enters a darkened room, Snively not to far behind. A small ringing is heard, and the elevator door opens over to the right. Sonic and Tails rush out of the elevator.
"ALLRIGHT BUTTNIK! WHE-" Sonic stops mid sentence.
"Sonic. Uh. Robotnik isn't here!" Says Tails, panicking.
Sonic and Tails search Robotnik's Chambers, but find nothing. A small beeping noise is heard from inside a darkened room, and then small compartment opens up from the roof. Onto the floor, the ripped off robot head of Uncle Chuck lands at Sonic's feet.
'UNCLE CHUCK! NO!" Yells Sonic, "DAMN YOU ROBOTNIK!!!"
Sonic falls to his knees, his hands clasping the sides of his head. Tails rushes over to his side. Sonic mutters unintelligibly getting louder and louder. Tails knows exactly what's happening to him. First Sonic loses Sally. Now he loses Uncle Chuck. Tails knows that Sonic's sanity can't be pushed much further. Suddenly, a scream is heard from inside the dark room.
"AMY!" Yells Tails, realizing who the scream is from.
"THAT'S IT ROBOTNIK!! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!!" Sonic Yells.
Sonic bolts into the darkened room, and a buzzing noise is heard. Clanking, and gears turn. Tails stands outside of the room. The black darkness suddenly changes to an evil red glow, and the sounds seize.
"Sonic? Sonic?" Yells Tails, still standing outside of the room.
Nothing. No sound is heard. Tails runs into the room, and sees a large shadowy machine in front of him. Robotnik flicks a switch, and in front of Tails is something horrible. A large T-shaped machine, with one arm holding a tied up Sonic over a large pit of buzz saws on one side, and the other arm holding Amy over a large pit of buzz saws on the other.
"Why.Hello there, lover boy." Says Robotnik, who steps out from the shadows. Looks like you've got a little choice to make don't you Tails?"
"NO! No! You wouldn't!" Pleads Tails.
"Oh, but I would. You only have a few seconds to save them after the arms release them, and the machine is programmed to go off randomly! You only have enough time to save one of them Tails. So. Which will it be? Your girlfriend? Or your best friend?"
"What? I could just go get them both right now!"
"Oh, that is where you are wrong! You see, I have also rigged the floor you are standing on. Once your feet leave the ground, the machine will release it. So you see, no matter what you do. Whether you go now, or wait until the machine decides on it's own. You can only save one of them!"
"No! NO!!"
The room is a sinister red, and Tails tries franticly to come up with an idea on how to save them.
"Oh god, what do I do?? If I try to save Amy, Sonic dies. If I save Sonic, Amy dies." Mutters Tails.
Tears stream down his face not knowing how to deal with this much pressure. Robotnik laughs as Tails slowly breaks down. Tails looks around the room for any idea of what to do. He can't think of anything. He looks at Amy. Then he looks at Sonic.
"What do I do?? WHAT DO I DO??" Yells Tails.
Sonic and Amy try to mutter something, but there mouths are covered, so it is to no avail. He examines the machine, and notices that an emerald is used to power it up. The same emerald that Uncle Chuck stole from Sonic's hut. The same emerald that Sonic stole from Knuckles. He figures everything out in that instant. Tails reaches into his glove and pulls out the small square that Knuckles gave him a few days ago. Tails pushes the button on it, while Robotnik watches, confused.
Robotnik looks around, as he hears rumbling coming through the air ducts above. Suddenly, Knuckles comes bursting through the ceiling. He lands. Looks at Tails, then looks at Sonic.
"SO THIS IS YOUR BRILLIANT ATTACK ON ROBOTNIK??" Yells Knuckles to Sonic.
"Listen, it's not what you think. Look, just right now, help me." Utters Tails, "You get Sonic, and I'll get Amy!"
"OH NO YOU DON'T!!" Robotnik yells.
Robotnik slams his fist onto a button in the wall that releases Sonic and Amy from the clutches of the machine. There heads get inches away from the buzz saws, before Knuckles and Tails snatch them out of the air. Tails unties Amy, and she quickly hugs him tight.
"Amy! I was so afraid I'd lose you." Says Tails.
Amy looks at Tails, and plants a big kiss on Tails' lips. Knuckles unties Sonic, and he runs at full speed to Robotnik. He punches Robotnik in the face and then does a spin into some metal girders. A girder falls, and he picks it up. He smashes the buzz saws and they start flying around the room. Knuckles grabs Tails and Amy and runs out of the room.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM THERE!" Yells Tails.
"SONIC KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! We have to get out of here. This is between him and Robotnik now."
As they are running away, there is yelling and screaming, and very violent noises coming from inside the room. Knuckles, Tails, and Amy exit Robotropolis, and look up into the tower. Green flashes of light emit from the tower, and blood starts to spray out as well.
"Sonic!" Says Tails, reaching for the tower.
The tower starts exploding, and the three stand there watching in awe. Amy starts to cry, and takes comfort in Tails' arms. Knuckles concentrates on the green flashes of light and his eyes widen.
"Oh, shit, Shit! We have to go NOW!" Yells Knuckles.
Knuckles grabs Tails and Amy again and bolts for the forest. Suddenly, the ground in Robotropolis starts to rumble. The ground starts to crack, and green light burst from the earth. The entire city begins to collapses, and explosions are everywhere. Suddenly, a large burst of light over takes the city, and in an instant, the entire city of Robotropolis. is destroyed.
