The few remaining Freedom Fighters walked towards Angel Island's teleporter. It's been a day since the incident but it was still on everyone's mind. Everyone was silently thinking about the battle Knothole, everyone who died, Mecha, and… RK.
'Damn him! Sonic thought to himself 'So many people died because of that stupid robot! I could have helped… I could have saved them. They would be alive if it wasn't for me being a cowered. Damn you RK you're worst then old Egghead… you are much worse.'
The FF walked for at least another hour before reaching the teleporter.
Sally looked up to the sky and saw the magical island flying in the air untouched by all land and chaos. "Well there it is." She said just above a whisper. "Let's just hope that Knuckles is in a good mood today."
-----
Flying in the air untouched by all land and chaos… Sally thoughts echo… but if Knuckles herd her he'd say "My ass!"
An explosion sounded near Echidnaopolis just missing a car diverting all eyes to the near by forest where the blast came from. Soon the entire city was in chaos people running as far away as they can from the explosion. One group in particular belonged to Knuckles and the Chaotix. Immediately the all sprang up and ran straight towards the forest trying there best to avoid the panicked crowd.
"Jeez can't you people get out of our way!" Vector yelled as citizens trampled over each other trying to get to safety.
"Oww!" Espio yelled as an Echidna stomped on his tail. Espio immediately jumped on a building and started to walk on the wall escaping the mob completely.
"Hey that cheating!" Vector yelled
Espio sighed "Well Vector I didn't know that getting trampled by a city was a game." He said sarcastically not even looking at the crocodile.
Vector just growled at the response then something else caught his attention. "Yo where's Mighty?"
"Well if you know Mighty he's probably one step ahead of us." Julie-Su said.
-----
(Note: If you don't know who anyone is look online at It has all the info you need about the charters I'm using." Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic HQ.)
Mighty was indeed ahead. In fact he was already in the forest, running pass the trees as fast as he could hoping that he could stop what ever made that explosion before some one gets hurt. He jumped over a fallen log and stopped to catch his breath and find where he should look next. That was of course before her herd two distinct voices.
"For the last time we should first destroy the Hidden Palace!" A mechanized voice shouted
"No you fool we must take down Haven!" A very distinct and familiar voice boomed back
Mighty peeked from behind a tree to see RK and Kragok behind the controls of a giant ray gun and an also giant battle ship parked near by it. First he was terrified at the sight of the two of the most dangerous beings at the same time but something got his attention. It wasn't the few SWAT-bots and Dark Legion members there watching there leaders. But them watching there leaders fight over the gun's manual aiming control stick like they where only three years old.
"For the last time the HiddenPalace!" Barked RK throwing his robotic arms out and grabbing the control stick which forced the gun to stray left.
"Look dip shit the Brotherhood would get in our way and stop us easily. We need to take them out now!" Kragok argued back also grabbing the control stick only forcing it to go back right.
"You moron! The Hidden Palace is where the Master Emerald is and if we destroy the palace then we can take the emerald and the Brotherhood would loose there power!" [the gun turned left]
"The Brotherhood would pull threw they always do!" [the gun turned right]
"Do not tempt me into killing you because I would do it without hesitation." [left]
"Trust me this is for the best." [right]
"No because of you're stupidity we shot an energy blast in a crowded street and we don't have time to argue before my copy shows up!" [left]
[Right] "For the last time that was a mistake because you wouldn't let go of the damn control stick."
[left] "Oh so it's my fault that you're a dum ass! Look, do you know how hard it is to air lift a giant ray of destruction and secretly fly it on an island, then drop it in a stinking gap in a forest!? Because let me tell you it isn't easy! So with that said let me tell you something else. This is my ray and if I wanted to I would but you in the barrel and use your worthless ass as a shell."
[Right] "Ooh so threatening! Look you worthless piece of shit! I don't fear you or your petty threats so why don't you go stand over there while do what's best?"
[left, and doesn't let go of the control stick] "I won't leave because that idea of yours isn't what best!"
"Let go of the controls!"
RK smiled "Make me."
Kragok glared at him the he two smiled, and soon he was chuckling. "Oh I see you won't let go because Robotnik didn't make you a control stick of your own." Kragok finished and laughed.
"I had enough of your insults! Now you die!" RK yelled jumping ok Kragok as the dynamic duo fell off the control platform and started throwing punches at each other.
Mighty saw the fight and his only window of opportunity. But there were too many SWAT-bots and DL grunts around, for once in his life he wished Espio was here.
And his wish was granted. "Hey… Mighty…" A whispering voice came.
The armadillo turned to see Knuckles and the rest of the Chaotix and couldn't help but smile.
Knuckles and the rest walked up to see the show as Mighty explained the entire mess. Once he finished he turned to the teenage chameleon.
"And Espio is the only one that can get there without being seen."
Espio nodded and looked at Knuckles. "Shall I?" the teen asked and Knuckles also nodded.
"Go for it." He said and with that Espio disappeared with a gust of wind blowing a few leafs around.
"And be careful" Charmy added hoping that the invisible ninja herd him.
-----
RK and Kragok were rolling around on the ground each trying to rip one of the others limbs off while the SWAT-bots and the Dark Legion grunts just watched.
RK kicked his foot in Kragok's stomach and bucked him off into a near by tree. Then he dived at the cyborg Echidna in hopes of finishing him off but Kragok threw his robotic arm out at the last second and grabbed RK's metal muzzle. He stood up quickly with RK's nose still in his hand and threw him up in the air, once RK started to descend Kragok jumped kicked him in the chest making the red robot fly a few feet. But RK got up in a alarming speed and activated his thrusters which boosted his speed and in a blink of a eye he had both of his fist clamped together and smashed it into Kragok's chest, but Kragok also threw his arm out again and connected it to RK's forehead at the exact same time. They both flew back and landed on there back in the ground staring at the sky.
-----
Espio jumped onto the ray still camouflage with his surroundings. He looked over all of the controls and each one of the labeled buttons with out making a sound.
"Let see." He thought typing furiously at the controls with an invisible grin on his face.
-----
Kragok was on his feet first. He ran and jumped on RK then started to stomp on his chest with both feet one after another almost in a river dance motion. RK quickly grabbed both of Kragok's feet on in each hand then he drew his hands back making Kragok fall face first then RK jumped up and thrust his hands forward smashing Kragok down in the ground. RK repeated this three times before Kragok finally got his right foot free and used it to repeatedly kick RK in the face.
The battle would have lasted longer but two figures steeped out from behind the trees.
"What the hell are you doing!" a female voice yelled.
The two was no other than Lien-Da/Kommissar and Mecha Sonic.
Kragok was bleeding in many places and even lost a tooth or two. One of his three metal claws where missing and some of the plating had fell off showing all of the wires inside his arm, plus he was still being hanged by his left foot in RK's grasp.
While RK had dents all over his face and a few on his chest where Kragok decided to do a river stomp dance. His left eye had spider web cracks which indicated that it was broken and he also had his muzzle bent down by Kragok's mechanical claws.
RK sighed and let go of Kragok which ended up with him falling on his head.
RK smiled "Just disciplining this mutt of yours." He said getting a killer glare from Kragok.
Lien-Da rolled her eyes "Just blow up Haven already!" She said
Kragok wore a proud smile and looked at RK.
RK just shrugged. "If you think that's best." He said giving a wicked grin to Kragok whose smile just melted. But before anything else could happen the ray fired.
Not hat Haven nor at the Hidden Palace but at the battle ship that carried the ray to the island. The ship exploited incinerating any SWAT-bots and Dark Legion grunts that was near it. The shock was so great that the ball of fire also reached the ray gun melting the barley of the gun instantly. Unfortunately the blast also knocked a certain ninja off of the platform.
Espio flew of and landed on his back, but the unfortunate thing was that this caught him by surprise so he lost his camouflage. RK, Kragok, Mecha, and Lien-Da just stared at Espio as he just stared back.
Espio scratched the back of his head and chuckled "Umm… wasn't me." He said everyone looking at him with hateful eyes.
Lien-Da was the first to react taking out her pistol and firing three shots. But the shots where quick drawn and sloppy so Espio dogged them with ease. Kragok charged Espio but was tackled by the side by Knuckles who just jumped out of the trees with the rest of the group. Vector, Charmy, and Julie Su went after Lien-Da while Mighty fought Mecha one on one.
Lien-Da and a large group of grunts razed there weapons towards the three and unleashed a wave of lasers. Vector immediately snatched his headphones and cranked the volume to full blast which shot a sonic boom and scattered the grunts and Lien-Da. Charmy flew up and stabbed two DL grunts injecting his paralyzing poison into them. Lien-Da jumped up and uppercuts Vector under his chin making the large reptile go flying. Julie-Su took out her pistol as well as Lien-Da. They both fired at the same time and both bullets knocked the gun out of the others hand. First they just stared at each other until Lien-Da razed her fist and motion her to attack her. Julie-Su ran up and threw a punch at Lien-Da but she quickly ducked under it. Lien-Da then threw a punch of her own but Julie-Su grabbed her arm and kicked her in the armpit. Lien-Da let out a surprise shriek before gritting her teeth and jump kick Julie-Su in the face.
-----
Kragok quickly jumped up once he and Knuckles hit the ground. Knuckles also jumped up and smiled when he saw Kragok's current condition.
"Look's like RK did a number on you." He said while grinning
"I did an equal amount of damage on him as well, and I'm still in a good enough condition to defeat you!"
Knuckles chuckled at the remark "You would have said that even if you had one arm and was blind."
"Shut up!" Kragok yelled as he jumped at Knuckles his mechanical arm drawn back. Knuckles jumped away and Kragok slammed his fist into the earth making a small creator where his fist made contact with the earth.
"So slow." Knuckles said as he put his fist in a fighting position. Kragok also razed his fist up and stared at Knuckles his robotic eye shining a blood red color.
Knuckles was the first to act, he sprinted at Kragok and threw a powerful spiked punch at him. Kragok rolled to the left and smiled, and then he shot his robotic fist once again at Knuckles. Knuckles razed his left fist and deflected Kragok and with the other he delivered a powerful left-hook making Kragok go flying a few feet.Kragok cursed to himself and was about to get up before something caught his eye. A metal item was near his flesh hand so he quickly snatched it before Knuckles could see. It was his missing robotic talon that was supposes to be attached to his robotic arm before RK knocked it off. He quickly hid it behind his cloak and got up again. He once more threw a punch at Knuckles which the guardian easily grabbed. But Kragok was expecting this. He quickly took out the talon and drew it deeply into Knuckles arm. Knuckles let out a shocked and painful scream as Kragok dragged the talon down his arm forcing a large cut on his arm.
-----
Mighty was in quite the predicament. He had a large tree in his hand and was swinging it back and forth knocking every SWAT-bot that came close. But he wasn't aiming at the SWAT-bots he was aiming for Mecha. Mecha was either jumping, ducking, or even out running the tree and was gaining on Mighty quickly. Finally the frustrated armadillo just threw the tree at the blue robot which Mecha easily ducked under the tree and zoomed over to Mighty, But he was expecting and jumped to the side while holding out his arm. Mecha plowed right into Mighty muscular arm and flipped over three times before hitting a tree. But this didn't even slow him down as he jumped of and charged Mighty witch took the armadillo by surprise.
Mecha slammed his fist into Mighty's stomach causing him to double over in pain. Then Mecha grabbed the back of Mighty's head and kneed him in the face. After being kneed three to four times Mighty threw his head up which made Mecha loose his grip and then Mighty brought both of his fist into Mecha's head. Then he lifted the robot over his head and brought him down on a large rock that was near bye. But Mecha quickly activated his main thrusters and flew at top speed threw the forest dragging an unfortunate armadillo along with him. But soon Mecha came to an immediate halt throwing Mighty straight into a tree.
-----
Espio was about to go to Mighty's aid but an arm grabbed him by the shoulder and forced him to turn around. It was RK… before Espio could do anything RK grabbed his muzzle and dragged him away from the sight of his friends.
-----
Vector jumped from side to side as the SWAT-bots tried to shoot him. He jumped in the air and power-drive one of the bots head forcing it into its neck. Then he grabbed the blaster and shot another in the chest twice and the head once. After the bot exploded he swung it by its barrel and smashed another on the side of the head. He threw the gun away and decided it was time to finish off the rest. So he took a deep breath and started to blow a bubble. The huge bubble disconnected from his mouth and flew towards the SWAT-bots and once it got close enough it exploded like a bomb destroying the rest of RK precious minions.
-----
Charmy hummed to him self as he flew passed an onslaught of lasers. The Dark Legion grunts where firing rapidly at the little bumble bee like their was no tomorrow because if they miss there wouldn't be. But it is hard to his a target that is so small so they always missed. Charmy flew up to one and pointed his stinger at him. Then he shot out of the sky like a spear hand hit the grunt in the shoulder. The minion dropped to the floor instantly paralyzed. Soon he flew to the second victim and stabbed him in the chest. The poison had the same effect.
-----
Julie-Su was knocked back by the kick and was now bleeding from the mouth. She knew Lien-Da combat training and then she remembered something.
--Flash Back—
Espio and Julie-Ju was in what looked to be a Japanese training dojo. In front of Julie-Su was a training dummy in a shape of an Echidna.
Espio was lessoning to Julie-Su as she explained her half sister Lien-Da. Espio nodded a few times then stood up and led Julie-Su over to the dummy.
"This is something that I never told anyone but I've never had parents…" He started positioning in front of the dummy. "…My entire life I've been razed by a small clan of ninjas that shared there secrets and combat techniques with me." He said looking at Julie-Su. "I'm willing to share one technique with you."
Julie-Su nodded a little excised in learning a special technique.
"First of all." Espio said reading Julie's excitement. "This technique isn't something you can go around bragging about. You can only use it in a fight or an emergency."
Julie nodded as he raised his hands into his fighting stance. Then he quickly lashed out his hand and with two fingers he pressed a certain spot on the upper part of the dummies arm. As soon as he hit the spot a buzzer went off.
Julie-Su just stared. "That's it?" She asked rather surprised that the attack was just a push of a finger. Espio nodded
"That's a pressure point that if pressed hard enough will numb the arm and make it so it is unusable." He said and the excitement leaped into Julie-Su once again.
---End Flash Back---
'Good thing Espio been training me in moving targets.' She thought as she studied Lien-Da.
Lien-Da lunged at her but Julie-Su jumped to the left. Lien-Da stopped and lunged again and once more Julie-Su jumped to the left. Lien-Da stopped and turned around with her fist out swinging at Julie-Su once again but Julie ducked under it.
Then when Lien-Da threw another punch with her left hand Julie jumped to the right and stabbed two fingers into Lien-Da's arm. Lien-Da gasped in surprise as her arm went dead and stared at Julie.
"How?" She asked plain and simple
"I have one heck of a new good teacher." Julie–Su said and uppercuts Lien-Da in the air.
-----
Knuckles cringed as Kragok yanked his talon from Knuckles arm now with a long slash from the shoulder down to the elbow. Blood started to poor out as Knuckles forced himself to stay calm and not call for help.
"No matte." Knuckles said with a snarl "I can still whip you with one arm." And with that he slugged Kragok on the cheek with his good arm. Before Kragok could get up Knuckles was there. He kicked the talon out of his hand and grabbed him by the throat and threw him into a nearby tree.
"Lights out." He muttered.
-----
Espio struggled to get a breath of air. He kicked ferociously at RK who was crushing the chameleon's neck in his hand. Espio struggled looking at the red robot. RK was totally fixed up due to an automatic repair system that was implanted in him by Ivo Robotnik. All of the dents where gone and even the cracked eye was fixed the cracks nowhere to be found. RK tightened his grip and slammed his two metal claws into Espio's stomach. Espio wanted to scream but couldn't do a thing. Soon his vision was beginning to blur until another blur appeared but this one was blue.
"You!" Sonic screamed as he jumped onto RK as a spinning blue disk. RK was taken by surprise by the attack and dropped Espio. As soon as Espio hit the ground and took three extremely deep breaths before passing out due to blood lost. Sonic attacked RK furiously hit after hit after hit and wouldn't slow down. The only thing wrong was that RK was blocking each attack.
RK laughed when Sonic hit the ground. "So tell me…" RK said "How many survived the attack of Knothole?"
Sonic lost it again and speed right at him. RK jumped back and held out his foot tripping our now psychotic hero. But Sonic didn't stay down long and jumped at RK once again but this time RK grabbed the hedgehog by his shoulder and threw him next to Espio.
"The Chameleons needs metical attention fast." RK said "So you can come after me or save a life… Like you where spots to do back at Knothole." And with that the red robot ran off.
Sonic was about to run after him until he noticed Espio's current condition.
"Damn you!" he yelled at Espio as he grabbed him.
-----
RK ran back into the opening where the battle royal was happening. He turned his sound monitor which was like an ear to the east and heard sirens. Dozen of them coming closer by the second.
"Ok boys time to retreat!" He yelled. "We lost the weapon and the element of surprise. Lets get out of here!" and with that everyone grabbed a fallen partner and ran off. Three DL grunts in particular grabbed Kragok while shooting at Knuckles making sure that he didn't get to close. And when everyone was salvage they all retreated into the forest both Robotropolis and DL alike.
"Let them go." Knuckles growled. "Where in no condition to chase them down." He finished as a dozen police cars popped out from behind the trees followed by a few ambulances.
Remington stepped out of his car and walked over to Knuckles.
"Mr. Guardian are you ok?" Remington asked looking at the large slash on hi arm.
"Yeah I'm fine." Knuckles said then turned towards his companions. "Is everyone ok?" He asked
Everyone nodded until Vector spoke up. "Yo where's Esp?"
Everyone's eyes nearly bulged out of there heads.
"It's ok." Sonic said walking out from behind the trees with Espio in his arms. "He's not captured but he is in bad shape. That monster RK got his hands on him."
"Espio!" Knuckles yelled grabbing the chameleon from Sonic and bringing him to an ambulance.
A few minutes later and Espio was loaded into the car and rushed to the ambulance.
Knuckles turned to Sonic "Well what are you doing here?" He asked.
Sonic sighed "Sally and the others are waiting for you at a diner in Echidnaopolis we will explain there."
