Here it is. The final two chapters. Enjoy. I don't own, so don't sue. The song is Numb from Linkin Park, which I also don't own.

The robots started to approach Sonic and Tails. Sonic dashed forward and spin-attacked one of the robots, cutting its arm off. Another robot managed to grab Sonic and throw him into a nearby wall.

/I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless

Lost under the surface/

Tails took to the air and landed on one of the other robots. He opened a panel and started to mess with the robots wiring.

/I don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure

Of walking in your shoes/

Tails accidentally tripped a failsafe while rewiring the robot, causing it to self-destruct. He went sailing across the room from the explosion.

Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow)/

Sonic was up again, avoiding the gunfire of a robot. By circling the robot that had thrown him earlier, he managed to get that robot shot at. However, it only slowed it down a little and both robots went after him.

/I've

Become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware/

Tails got up with a groan and realized he was next to a computer terminal. He quickly plugged Nicole into a USB port and started hacking into the computer. He got into the main control systems and made some changes. The robots stopped attacking them and started firing on each other.

/I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you/

Eggman let out a cry of surprise when he saw his own robots attacking each other. He then saw Tails on a computer terminal. Realizing what the fox was doing, Eggman quickly turned around to the computer terminal he was at. His hands flew across the keyboard in an attempt to lock Tails out of the system.

/Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly

Afraid to lose control/

Unsuccessful at locking Tails out of the system, Eggman ran over to Tails. Tails didn't see Eggman coming, and was knocked off his feet.

Tails slammed into a nearby printer from the impact, but he managed to hold onto Nicole the whole time. As soon as Nicole was disconnected from the USB port, the terminal locked up and had to reboot. Eggman hit the terminal with his fist in anger.

/'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you/

Eggman turned around to see what was currently happening. He saw his prized creations continue to fight with each other, some of them already out of commission. He then saw Sonic walking towards him, holding a piece of scrap metal as if it were a baseball bat.

Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take/

Eggman panicked and ran to the next terminal. He knew he couldn't regain control of his robots, but he had one more trick up his sleeve. He pressed three buttons on the terminal. Every working monitor in the room changed to display "Self-Destruct Activated" and started a sixty-second countdown.

/I've

Become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware/

Sonic wanted to finish Eggman off, but knew he and Tails had to get out of there. Seeing thick metal doors slowly closing the tunnels off, he grabbed Tails and got past the one door before it completely closed.

/I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you/

Sonic and Tails ran through the tunnels like crazy. Tails was getting directions from a map that he downloaded into Nicole from Eggman's computer. Nicole was also keeping track of how much time they had left.

They reached a dead end, but the map showed a hidden door. With only a few seconds left, Tails put Nicole in his pocket and started to push against a discolored part of the wall with all his might. Sonic joined him.

/But I know

I may end up failing too/

The door popped open. They were now in the room with the elevator and the cave entrance. They ran as fast as they could.

/But I know

You were just like me

With someone disappointed in you/

The entire town was on the mainland, watching Angel Island. Snively and Nack were there too, but they were tied up with some thick metal chains that Gerald provided. They were also be guarded by Knuckles and Shadow.

Everyone was surprised when Angel Island exploded in a giant fireball. Some of the townsfolk started to cry, while others bowed their heads in a moment of silence for Sonic and Tails.

/I've

Become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware/

Big the Fishing Cat noticed something flying in the air. As it came close, he recognized it. He wasted no time in letting everyone else on the shore know.

Soon, all eyes were on the approaching object. It was Tails flying, unsteadily, while hanging on to Sonic.

/I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you/

They landed near the townspeople, breathing heavily. Both had numerous burns, cuts, and bruises. Sonic in particular had a large gash in his left side.

/I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Is everything what you want me to be/

Amy and Cream pushed through the crowd and stopped a few feet away from Sonic and Tails, unsure of what to think. Sonic smiled, gave a weak thumbs-up, and collapsed to the ground.

/I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Is everything what you want me to be/
