He was fine at the moment, but he was going to have a killer backache in the morning, once the bruising set in… but at least he knew which way to go. He could still sense the Chaos Emeralds nearby. Omega grimaced, and started toward the sense of the Emeralds. A few moments later, he came to a large steel wall; a tower of some sort. This was the place. Opening his arm, he turned the plasma torch on and began to cut into the wall. For some reason, the security systems didn't react.
What Omega didn't know was that Tails and Sonic were already inside, and the security forces had their hands full. Sonic was running along, dodging the robots, letting them destroy each other, while Tails trailed behind as best he could. Sonic was really having fun with these stupid robots. It was like they weren't even TRYING to stop him! Eventually, they came to a huge chamber, where the Chaos Emeralds were on a dais, under glass. "Tails, you stay here. I'm going to get those Emeralds…" Sonic warned.
And with that, Sonic ran as fast as he could toward the Emeralds. But it wasn't quite fast enough. Huge metal bars slammed up through the floor around the Emeralds, and at the entrance, sealing Sonic in and Tails out. As Sonic screeched to a halt, laughter rang throughout the chamber. This was not promising, but Sonic wasn't about to be scared by something as intangible as laughter… A huge spider-like robot descended from the ceiling, and the laughter was emanating from it. It was covered in weapons, lenses for lasers, and turrets for cannons. Now that, while not actually SCARING him, was worth just a bit of worry. There didn't seem to be any really obvious thin places in its armor… "You fell right into my trap, Sonic. Omega was never anything more than a distraction. A distraction that was supposed to last quite a bit longer," Robotnik's voice came from the robot.
Sonic smirked, and said, "Bring it on, Eggman!"
