"Metal, I see you have absorbed Silver Sonic." Darknite said to Metal in the throne room.
"Yes, Darknite. He was too easy to beat, though. And what about the fox?" Metal said. Metal had absorbed Silver Sonic already, as his bulkier arms, legs, and larger area around the engine suggested.
"He is being questioned as we speak by Cinamo. And the rest of our DNA samples are coming to us." Darknite said. He turned to a shadow in the doorway. "And you shall be the one to be at their entrance. Go and wait. Do as you wish when they arrive, just get those samples!"
The shadow quickly left. All Darknite had to do now was wait.
At Tails Workshop, Mystic Ruins. . .
"Come on guys. Let's get in this new helicopter Tails made." Sonic said to Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Cream, and Big. They were going to use a new helicopter Tails made for large groups. The Tornado wouldn't be able to hold them all. They all got in.
"Anyone here a pilot?" Sonic said. "Only two people can fly this thing. Tails is being held prisoner and Egghead is too."
"I don't know much about machines, but I'll take a look." Rouge said. She looked on the control panel. She found an autopilot button. "This should do it." she said pressing it.
"State destination." A voice like Tails' said, only more mature sounding.
"Well, I believe Eggman said he was being held somewhere called Mount Everest." Sonic said. At those words, the helicopter lifted up. It was taking off. They were all blown to the back of the helicopter. Sonic rushed back up and closed the door. They were heading towards Mount Everest.
"Hold on Tails," Sonic said, "We're coming for ya!"
The helicopter was pretty fast at getting there. They found out soon that it was powered by a chaos emerald. "Where'd he get that?" was what everyone was thinking. The copter arrived at Mt. Everest in only a few hours.
They saw a huge metal building sticking out of the mountain. It was red and black, just like Darknite. It looked similiar to a castle with all the towers and guards protecting those bridges connecting the towers. They began to fly around the base. Guards in one spot opened fire on them with long range laser rifles and RPG's. They also had to deal with anti-aircraft guns. The AA guns weren't too much of a problem, though. Most pointed towards the sky and couldn't hit them since they were low. (They are meant to hit objects very high above them, like the air force. )
A domed building in the middle of the structure marked the throne room. They were nearing one of various hangars built into the mountain. The hangar door was open, strangely. Darknite wanted them in, apparently. The plane's computer was making it move away. Sonic rushed to the controls and turned autopilot off. He began charging it towards the hangar, not even caring about the hellfire of bullets, lasers, and missiles coming towards them. The hangar door began closing slowly. Darknite wanted to test Sonic. Everyone began screaming.
"Sonic, you're insane. You're gonna get us all killed!" Rouge said. Shortly after, they landed safely in the hangar. The guns stopped firing instantly. They were programmed not to open fire on anything in the hangar. They all got out.
"What the hell were you thinking!" Amy said to Sonic, yelling in his face. Sonic didn't care and grabbed Amy's hand, which was about to slap him.
"I was thinking about Tails! He's probably scared to death by now!" Sonic said yelling in Amy's face. Amy instantly shut up. "Let's go save Tails." Sonic said heading for the entrance to the base in the hangar.
They went through it. They arrived in a circular room with pillars. Ahead of them was a fountain. There were 2 staircases that curved along the wall and went up to a platform. A fancy door at the very top led to a hallway. There were also two more doors in on walkways that came out of the platform. There were no guards.
"Let's go guys. This will be easy." Sonic said. Suddenly, the doors behind them slammed shut.
"I wouldn't think so, my organic copy." a cold metal voice said from the platform at the top of the stairs. It stepped out of the darkness. Sonic looked at it. It was Metal Sonic.
