Notes: Wow, another chapter so soon? Yey! ^^; Anyways, hope you all enjoy
this one. It's my first actual like... battle-scene, so I hope I wasn't to
redundant with my explanations and such. I want to strongly urge No-One to
duplicate the shield that the enemy fighter uses. This is my own design and
I came up with it, so I don't want anyone else taking credit for it or
using it. Period. Sorry if I'm coming across rude or paranoid, but I don't
want anyone ripping off my stuff. Anyway, thanks for reading! ~ John Kelly

A massive electrical hum rang out and electrical sparks erupted as the two large spiked disks where knocked away, the large red robot pulling up at the last moment, sparks blasting across its underside as it shot straight up into the air.
"What In The Hell Was That!?" Eggman yelled through gritted teeth as he leveled out the Egg Viper and banked it to the left, rounding as the two spiked disks flew back and re-attached themselves to either side.
"It's a new type of shield.. It uses massive electrical energy to deflect other objects. Missiles don't work because the electricity overloads them and they detonate before ever reaching their target. I'm assuming that the overwhelming amount of electrons is such a shock to materials that it throws them off-course as well." Miles spoke from the back seat, leaning forward and beginning to scan the enemy ship for data. Nodding, he pointed down at a small screen and Eggman groaned.
"So then, We'll just try THIS!" Eggman yelled as he clicked the trigger-fire on both joysticks, brilliant flashes of red light emitting from the tip of the Egg Viper as concentrated lasers burst forth, piercing the air itself as they shot towards their intended target. The enemy fighter's wings suddenly detached before a large amount of electric sparks arced between the wings and the large black spheres. The wings suddenly pivoted in mid-air, and the fighter's thrusters busted out blue flames as the wings guided it in a downward spiral, the two laser beams flying past where the fighter had been only a second before.
"Damn that thing is fast!" Eggman snorted, jamming the joysticks forward and to the side, arcing the Egg Viper to face down, causing the lasers to begin moving after the speeding fighter. As the lasers neared their target, the blue flames of the jet's thrusters where suddenly engulfed in an outer thrust of yellow; the jet tripling its speed and leaving the lasers behind.
Eggman growled and cut off the lasers, slamming the thrust and banking the Egg Viper down, quickly speeding after the enemy. As they slowly gained on the fighter, Miles screamed out, "STOP!!" Eggman's hand quickly pulled back on the thrust just as the fighter was engulfed in electrical sparks before dozens of hatches all over the jet's outer-armor popped open and released a near-hundred missiles, all of which immediately began flying towards the Egg Viper.
Eggman's knuckles turned white under his gloves as he smashed down on the top buttons of the two joysticks with his thumbs and gripped the joysticks firmly. Both spiked disks quickly detached and flew forth, the missiles slowly closing into each other as they sped towards the Egg Viper. The two disks began to spin more rapidly before the missiles impacted them, massive explosions emitting and smoke billowing out into the air, blocking all views. Smoke swelled down before one of the disks dropped down, gaping holes in all sides as smoke was trailed along its path to the shimmering water below.
The other disks suddenly billowed back form the smoke and latched back onto the Egg Viper as a large splash rang out from below. Scowling, Eggman banked the Egg Viper and began to circle around the large amount of smoke. Seeing the fighter engulf itself in sparks while still flying away, Eggman jammed the Thrust and shot forward once again after it. Banking slightly, Eggman brought the Egg Viper to the side of the jet, leaving a few hundred feet between the two. Smashing the cockpit button, the nose of the robot slid forward and the cockpit frame opened up, wind suddenly blasting in and causing Miles to let out a yelp as Eggman ripped his restraints off and reached down below the pilot's seat. Standing up, Eggman hauled a bazooka onto his shoulder and stood for a moment, a goggled eye peering through the site before he clicked the ignition trigger. Black smoke billowed from the rear of the shaft as the re-coil kicked in and the rocket blasted out of the tip, streaking through the sky and leaving a trail of blackness before it shed its out layer of armor, small guidance wings slicing out on all sides as the nose elongated and split into four, the center of the rocket opening and revealing an air-intake as it quickly turned on, the rocket gaining a massive amount of speed as it barreled towards the rear of the fighter.
"High-speed rocket, it has a very good piercing capability..." Eggman spoke, staring after the rocket as sparks spewed from the front, the rocket coming within a few feet of the jet's thrusters before it shorted and detonated, the explosion frying the back armor of the fighter and knocking out one of its three large thrusters.
Spiraling downward, the fighter's yellow thrust cut out and it began leveling out before electrical arcs emitted, followed by more missiles. Slamming the reload bay shut, Eggman leaned out of the cockpit and clicked the ignition trigger, the missile barreling out and shooting back where the Egg Viper had come from. The missile quickly banked and began heading towards the Jet, missing the impending missiles as it shed its armor and struck one of the black spheres, knocking off the right wing of the fighter before Eggman kicked the Egg Viper into an emergency dive, closing the cockpit and jettisoning the last Disk into the pack of on-coming missiles, all but a few being immediately destroyed while simultaneously vaporizing the disk. Eggman cursed and Miles covered his head as the impact of three missiles rocked the cockpit, all of the lights and screens flickering as smoke began to trail from the massive wounds received.
Pulling back on the joysticks, the Egg Viper slowly pulled up and Eggman had to smirk as he watched one of the wings of the Jet plummet into the sea. "One down." Eggman chuckled, banking the Egg Viper around for a final assault. Miles leaned forward and slapped his hand on the cockpit button, the Nose sliding forward and the frame rising, filling the cockpit with blasting air currents as Miles grasped the Bazooka and un-hooked himself from his restraints.
"Keep Him Busy!" Miles yelled out as he jumped up and began spinning his tails at a high velocity, his small body shooting up into the sky as Eggman nodded and pulled the Egg Carrier around, unleashing a volley of laser blasts. The Jet went into an awkward dive, dodging all but one of the blasts which clipped another thruster off of the fighter. As the fighter began plummeting down to the Sea, unable to carry itself in its weakened state, its shield went down for a final time. As the dozens of hatches on all sides opened up, a sudden flash followed by a trail of smoke shot forth, impacting the jet right in the center of its framework, all of the missiles which had been exiting the hatches detonating from the blast of the rocket, flash-frying the outside of the fighter and ripping it to shreds.
Eggman let out a loud laugh as he pulled his goggles back onto his forehead and turned the Egg Viper in the direction of the flash. After accelerating then decelerating, Miles plopped down into the co-pilot's seat and set the Bazooka aside, closing his eyes and panting as the cockpit slid shut. Smirking, Eggman looked back over his shoulder. "Nice work Miles... You saved our asses for sure." Chuckling, Eggman banked the Egg Viper on a course for home as Miles smiled gently and let out a slight laugh.
"I'm just glad to you came.." Miles began, opening his eyes and staring at Eggman with watery oculars.
Eggman nodded and sighed. "I felt like it was my fault you got in the position you where in. I felt it was my duty alone to come and get you." Tilting his head and looking over his shoudler, he smirked, his large mustache spiking out. "I hate to trouble you, but rest up on the way back. Once we return, we're going after the Chaos Emeralds."
