A rather large control room could be seen. Monitors, computers, blinking lights and sesors could be seen from all angles. In the center of this room sat a very large metal chair, with it's own sets of switches, blinking lights and other compter objects. A large, overweight figure sat in this chair staring up at several surveillance monitors. A flesh hand tapped fingers with that of a metallic one as the solom glare of Robotnik's pircing red eyes watched a blue blur disappear from one monitor, to apear on another, to disappear again. King Acorn stood stone still behind the tyrant, his red-eyes gleamed off his polished black body.
"You've managed to impress me this time, Rodent," Robotnik mused to himself "I should have known better than to underestimate you seeking help."
The tyrant paused his thoughts apon seeing the crowd entering the security camera's vision, not far behind the hedgehog.
"Are they really that dense to charge me head on?" his brow furrowed "No matter, all the easier it'll be to rid myself of them in one sitting."
Pressing a small button on his armrest, a morbid smile cracked his chubby lips to reveal sparkling teeth. On the monitors the crowd quickly became surrounded by a countless amount of shadowbots. The faces in the crowd, some familiar to the tyrant and some not, each took immidiate action against the swarm as he so figured.

* * * * * * * *

"Ugh, this again?!" Mighty growled, beating his first into the closest shadowbot to him.
"What did yeh espect maite?" Walt muttered pulling out another one of his bomberangs.
Off in the corner, Knuckles pounced a small group leveling them without too much diffuculty. Rob shot off several explosive arrows, causing several shadowbots to go flying.
Sonic stopped in his tracks looking back at the group, for now they were fairing. He looked down at the princess held firmly in his arms.
"They can handle themselves for now. We've got to get inside that building before things get too far out of control." Sally sighed, nodding her in approval of the hedgehog's actions.
Sonic nodded back "Let's do it."
Wasting no more time the duo sped off into the twisted maze of Robotnik's fortress. Zigging, zagging, lights shining brightly as they cast a hazy shadow under the duo's figures, as Sonic's feet paced at such speeds they rarely touched the ground. Oddly and almost unsettling was the fact that there were no guards, none whatsoever. All doors stood open, leaving the fortress at the mercy of whomever walked inside. The mercy of two rebels with a vengence.
Sonic stopped, whirling around and stood up against the steel wall, from the door ahead he could hear the static-induced sounds of his friends outside the building. The security monitors. Sonic knew he had hit his target; this is where Robotnik was hiding himself. Setting Sally down softly the hedgehog looked her straight in the eyes, narrowed slightly. No words had to be said, the fury burning in Sonic's eyes was enough to tell her exactly what he was thinking.
"Come out from hiding behind your little corner, Rodent. I already know you're here." Robotnik's deep voice said cooley from inside the room, his voice echoing errily off the walls.
Eyes narrowing to slits, Sonic gave a motion to Sally to stay. Her own brow furrowed in protest, but gave no further form of action. She knew better than to try reasoning with him in this frame of mind. Shuffling close to the door so she could hear better she would keep her guard up for when Sonic needed it.
Never one to turn down a challenge, Sonic slid out into the open doorway, fully exposing himself. Robotnik sat facing him, arms on each armrest, his smile wide and smug. King Acorn stood motionless at his side.
Sonic's eyes remained narrowed, a snort escaped his nostrils. Both arms hung tensely at each side, fists balled tightly.
"Come to beg for my mercy, Rodent?" Robotnik chuckled, tilting his head back.
Sonic's muzzle curled back into a snarl revealing his teeth. His entire body tensed.
"You have some nerve." the words seethed through the hedgehog's snarl, low and venemous "You have no idea the hell you've put me through. How dare you mock me! I've had it with you, we end this now!" Sonic roared. In blind fury he launched himself forward toward the tyrant, ever intent on fulfilling whatever brutal image Sonic had laid out in his mind.
Unfortunately, the hedgehog never reached his target.
Thrusting forward, King Acorn blindsided the hedgehog, causing him to go sailing backward.
Lost in the adrenaline rush, and too blinded by his fury, Sonic caught his balance; immidiately turning his wrath toward the polished black robot. The king easily dodged, Sonic skidded quickly turning to launch another attack. Once more the king dodged, however this time also received a surprise as Sonic grabbed him by the arm flinging him directly toward Robotnik.
The tyrant barely had time to duck the attack as the king shaved the top of his chair off.
Undaunted by the throw, the king regained his senses climbing to his feet, eyes glowing with red hot fury.
"Sonic--Stop!" Sally cried out swinging around the corner "Don't hurt him!"
Sonic didn't listen, he didn't even hear her. Curling into a ball, the hedgehog launched forward in his triple spin attack, catching the king in the chest and sending both hurtling for the nearest wall.
Robotnik turned his amused eyes from the duo over to Sally. Arching a brow, but giving no other indecation of surprise, he smiled "I wondered when you'd show your face. A shame to have--temporarily--lost you from my prized collection."
Sally's eyes snapped to the tyrant's direction. Her eyes lit up as she clenched both fists "I dearly hope you're happy with yourself." She howled for lack of better words.
"Believe me Princess, I am." Robotnik chuckled lightly.
A particularly loud slam, coupled by a near sickening scream caught both tyrant and princess alike off guard. Their heads snapped to the scream's source to find King Acorn standing above Sonic, his eyes glowing with triumph. Below him laid Sonic, he gritted his teeth tightly in pain, tears streaming down his face. He clutched his leg gently--A piece of bone just visible through the skin where his knee had been shattered only moments ago.
"Sonic!" Sally screeched, breaking into a run toward the hedgehog. No sooner had she gotten within range, King Acorn fired a strong plasma shot at her. It nailed the princess square in the chest, sending her flying across the room. Skidding into the floor she stopped when she slammed into the nearest wall; her eyes flickered a couple times before growing dark.
"S-Sal-lly..." Sonic gasped in enormous pain. Gritting his teeth he dug his fingers into the floor in an attempt to drag himself to the princess' side. Before he could crawl even an inch, Sonic found himself being lifted around the waist by the king. Snarling the hedgehog hammered his fists into the robot; however muted by pain, his blows were no more powerful than an infant's thrashing.
"Pity," Robotnik sorted, his mouth twisting in disgruntlment "I was dearly expecting at least a little bigger challenge than that."
"Glad--I could--At least spoil--that much fun--for you." Sonic gasped between breaths, tears streaming down his face.
The tyrant's brow immidiately furrowed in distaste; his lip curling slightly. He began to lift himself from his seat, his buldges rippled as gravity pulled his weight down. Stepping up to the king he gave a sickening smile to Sonic "Take him away for robotization. He's outlived his welcome."
"At once, my Liege." The king droned, his eyes flashed. The robotizied king allowed Robotnik to pass by him before following his lead.
As the trio left, Sally's eyes began to flash. Finally coming on fully, she shifted slightly. No sooner had she, her eyes once again began flashing. Staying on longer the next time she pulled herself to her knees; falling over as another spell hit her. The metal on her chest had been scorched black, as was her arms and much of her face. The blast her father had delt had also obviously delt quite a bit of internal damage.
Inwardly wishing she could cry so badly, the on and off process continued for her, finally she had regained balance on her feet. Slowly, trying not to overpace herself, she limped off after the three.
