Sonic and Shadow raced down a hallway, ignoring stares from people nearby. Shadow knocked a door in with a flying kick and they entered the lobby of the hotel. Security guards rushed them, aiming compact guns at the hedgehogs. Shadow and Sonic didn't hesitate. They picked up Tails and threw him into the first few guards, the fox shooting all the way. Sonic used his Tornado Attack to launch a few into the air, which Tails gunned down. Meanwhile, Shadow was facing off against five guards.
One swung a stun club at him, its tip crackling with electricity. Shadow ducked under the weapon and rammed the guard in the vulnerable chest. Picking up the body, Shadow swung it around and flung it into another guard, trapping him. The hedgehog grabbed another guard and used him as a shield, firing at the two remaining guards before throwing his human shield into the automatic doors. Sonic and Tails followed him into the night.
"Where's Omega?" wondered Tails. They had forgotten him in the heat of the moment, and they turned in all directions.
"What's that sound?" asked Sonic as a rumbling filled the air.
Both questions were answered as Omega drilled out from under the ground.
"I dug my way from the elevator shaft," explained the robot.
"How'd you get in the shaft?" wondered Sonic, but the question was never answered. A thirty-foot tall mech stomped into view. Eggman sat in a cockpit, laughing his evil head off.
"You'll need more than that puny robot to defeat me!" he cried. The mech, with astonishing speed, dashed at the heroes with guns blazing. The bullets were as large as trash cans, and Sonic and Shadow could see them from a mile away. Immediately Sonic began his Homing Attack, bouncing off of the huge shells until he was high in the air. With Tails help, he launched himself to the cockpit and began to try to shoot his way in. But before he could start, a trapdoor on the machine opened and several robots emerged. While Sonic was distracted, Eggman began trying to crush Shadow with huge feet.
One of the robots got in a successful blow and knocked Sonic off. Tails caught him.
"Sonic! Shadow has an idea!"
With great strength, Shadow swung Omega into the air. At the same time, Tails dropped Sonic. Shadow performed the Homing Attack off of the mech's raised foot, then off of Omega. When he used the attack of Sonic, the impact sent the blue hedgehog careening back onto the mech. Shadow finally bounced off of Tails, and both hedgehogs were on the mech. Meanwhile, Tails grabbed the flying Omega and the two landed on the mech as well.
Omega eliminated the robots sprouting from the trapdoor while Tails began firing at the rivets that held together the transparent cockpit. It fell off, shattering on the pavement below, and Tails prepared to deal the blow he had waited his whole life for.
Eggman got it in quicker, though. He punched Tails with a fist that seemed to be made of solid stone and then grabbed onto the falling fox.
Tails felt many things just then as he plummeted. He could fly away, but he would be bringing Eggman to safety. Or he could fall… and bring both of them to their deaths.
Tails flew. He knew then that he'd never be brave enough to die for what he knew was right. But he'd saved himself.
Eggman dropped to the ground when they were five feet over it. The mech, without a pilot, went into autodrive and marched away, cracking the pavement as it went.
"My machine is returning to its hangar," cackled Eggman. "Now it's just the five of us…" He picked up Tails and threw him into a wall. The cement cracked and Tails gave out a moan before lying still.
"TAILS!" screamed Sonic. He briefly saw Knuckles and Rouge in his mind, and then Tails. All were dead. Tails spat out a bit of blood, and then lay still.
"Excuse me, just the four of us," continued Eggman. "Let's see how you do."
He backhanded Shadow five feet away and jumped from Omega's bullets. Picking up the robot with superhuman strength, he performed a devastating piledriver. The robot's plating was dented and it lay still.
Sonic and Shadow began firing at the doctor. He held up Omega's bulletproof body, blasting the bullets back at them. They dodged, but now their guns were useless.
With a cackle, Eggman picked up Tails body as well as Omega's. A hovering cargo platform veered near. He piled the two bodies on top of it, and jumped on himself and flew away before either hedgehog could get in a shot.
