Chapter 5
One Down, Two To Go
Knuckles was on the wing Cylone, Tails as always piolited It as always, and Sonic, say on
the back of the plane leaning his back aginst the tail fin. They started to discuss the plan as
they flew over the vast blue ocean.
"Okay. The emeralds are near each, other but In about five minuets my sense will go dead.
We'll be on our own. Tails Stop! Here! I can tell the directions. Tails, Yours must be that way."
Knuckles pointed to the North, Metal Harbor. "Sonic Yours Is In Capitol City. And I guess mine
is on... Oh great, Pumpkin Hill. Damn. I hate that place! Just a bunch of Ghosts and Rocks. That's
all there Is! Well... Let's get going. See ya guys." Knuckles dived off the plane and glided
twords the hills shaped as pumpkins.
"Alright tails, I'm goin' to follow the reef to the beach of Capitol City, you make sure to get
your emerald. C ya", and with this, Sonic lept from the plane to land on a small reef leading to
the main body, the east side of Capitol City. Mainly beaches and resorts, a place Sonic reguarly
liked to visit when rewarded for saving the world from Robotnick. But now the hot sun beat down
on his blue fur. The blue Chaos Emerald pulsated slightly about every ten seconds. "Man, that
emerald must be on the other side of the city." Sonic, had reached the main body of land, and a
few girls waved at him. He waved back, his ego starting to grow, then he realized he had no time to sit
around with young women in swim suits, although he despretley wanted to. And GOD forbid he ran into
Amy. He would be delayed for hours. So, he got going to the west side of the city, past city hall
mainly just apartment buildings and streets, where he eluded G.U.N.
Talis headed tword Metal Harbor as fast as his Cyclone would take him. That's when he saw a
collum of smoke coming from the small island of G.U.N. which was practically ths strongest army in
the world, excluding Dr. Robotnick's army of machines. As soon as tails was over the island, he
transformed the cyclone to the robot walker mode, and gently hovered down. He reached the ground
only to find shells of dead GUN Robots, a few bodies of workers laying dead on the ground, and
smoking rubble of what once was the strongest vault on the planet. Tail's hand relaxed on his trigger
for a moment, then tensed up again even harder. He expected to run into a large force of machines
and fight off many waves of enemies, till he finally reached the vault and then would escape. But
to Tail's horror, many of the Robots were shattered, their cores lying in pieces. The island was
dead silent, Tails looked around to see if anything was coming his way, but there was nothing. The
stillness hung in the air till he finally moved twords the vault. When he reached it, the Titanuim alloy
shell was blasted open like an egg. What could have done such a thing?!? Tails slowly and
cautiously walked over to the vault and stepped inside. Pipes jutted out from the side, but Tails
could clearly see the small pedestel that once held a Chaos Emerald.
A matalic drone voice came from behind Tails, "Hault Intruder! you are in violation of stature
code 419325: Trespassing on Government property. Lay down you wepons, and surrender peacfully or I will be
authorized to use force." Tails Spun around with his lasers charged and looked in awe. This Thing
was huge! It had to be at least sistey feet tall and it's bulky frame was armed to the teeth with wepons
lasers, missile silos, electric stun dischargers, and more. Tail was breathless for a moment, but
then yelled at the massive machine.
"Who are you and what are you doing here! What did you do to this place?! Awnser me damnit!"
Tails Spat at the robot with anger in his voice.
The cold voice rang once more, "I am Chaos Robot, series 181,these intruders were also guilty of
code 419325. surender or i will be forced to terminate you." Tails
realized the robot's hardrive must be faulty. These robots were on the same side, but He must
have recognized everything as a hostile. Even if he did give up, the bot would most likely kill
him anyways. Also the Robot said he was a Chaos model, likely some new robot thought up by G.U.N.
to pursue wars. He must have the Chaos emerald as a power source, this would not be a pushover
like most robots. Tails had to get the emerald, he would not let Sonic down, but could he possibly
win aginst something like this? Tails had to try, so he engaged in combat.
"I'm not going to let you bully anyone else!" Tails fired his vulcan guns, but the bullets
bounced off with ease. The robot looked down and scanned the smaller challenger with his sensors.
"Smaller Mecha walker, not a threat. You now have thirty seconds to comply.... ". Cannon
barrels extended and targeted Tails. Tails began to sit uneasy and started to consider running.
No! He knew he would never make it, and he would not go back to Sonic in shame. What about a fake
surrender, then fire all he had? Tails thought that would be a bad idea as well. This robot was
berserk and most likely gun him down anyways, and even he did get the oppertunity, it might not
be enough....but he had to try. Tails armed every weapon he had and targeted the huge machine
"Here goes nothing..."
"Thirty second deadline is up.... your answer?"
Tails was scared; was this going to work? "My answer is...", Tails paused and looked at his
console. "If you want me gone, you'll have to come take me!" With this, Tails unloaded as many
sheels and shots as he could. To his dismay, it did nothing and he was forced to run. The robot
stood unharmed with out a scratch on it, its eyes glowed fiery red. "Threat has proved hostile taking
action." The robot moved at lightning speed firing lasers, bullets, missles, and other weapons.
Tails was having a difficult time keeping up with the pace of the robot and was begging to be
overwhelmed. Every now and then a stray bullet or beam would hit his walker peircing it like
plaster. each time he was hit the controls would become a bit more suggish. It was nt a major
problem until a stray bullet hit the main body puncturing it and striking his leg. It was only a
flesh wound, but he could still feel the pain and blood, however more than just his leg was hit.
Part of his control pannel was hit and power was leaking uncontrollably.
Before Tails attention could turn back to evading, his walker was attacked without mercy.
Beams and ammo were forced through his armor with what seamed ease, bullets were scraping
dangerously close to Tails with every shot a few sending shrapnel cutting him in many places and
one even wounding his arm. Tail was lucky to jump when he did for when he was in mid-air the
Cyclone went dead and many things began to blow apart from the frame. Tails was thrown to the
ground and cluting his arm,and stood shakily as he saw his one marvelous creation now die. Tails,
filled with hate, pain and fear looked at his attacker slowly turning around to face him.
Thoughts began racing through his head, for he had given up hope and began to face his end. The
last thought that crossed his mind was a useful one, one that might save his life. He looked
around to find a panel with a remote attached to it. He picked it up and tore the remote away
from it and held it up. Tails didnt know if his device would work, had it been damaged in the
fight? He was going to try, and either way, he would either return to Sonic, emrald in hand, or
he would not return at all!
