Ultra Sonic 02
Pyramid Escape
"Hyah!" Amy yelled, smashing her Piko Piko Hammer through another Diggit blocking her way. However, as soon as that one fell, another appeared, and Sonic quickly dashed in with a Homing Attack and did quick work to the new one. The two ran behind some more boxes, eluding sight for short amount of time.
"So what do we do now?" Amy asked as the two of them tried to catch their breath.
"Try to get out of here as quickly as possible. Stealth was never my thing anyway."
"But how? This whole place has been put on full alert, and almost everyone of those Diggit things are looking for us."
Sonic got up to look to see how much longer they could keep cover when a sudden violent shake lurched him into the boxes he was hiding behind, knocking them down. He quickly looked up to see the giant tablet that Eggman had found had gotten free of the ground thanks to some rockets recently attached to it. The tablet moved into the air, slowly gaining speed as two missiles were soon fired from some place at the roof of the pyramid. The pyramid top was blown to pieces by the missiles and the tablet quickly flew out of the brand new sunroof.
"There goes our only other reason for being here. The first being Eggman, anyways." Sonic muttered to himself, getting up from the fallen crates.
"Sonic, look!" Amy yelled. Sonic darted his eyes up to see three Diggits zooming on their way towards him and Amy, their lasers charging. But before they could fire, a couple rocks from the blown pyramid top fell and landed on top of them, flattening them easily.
"Whoa, lucky us. But we'd better get out of here before our luck runs out." Sonic said, grabbing Amy's hand and running off towards the direction.
The two sped off pretty quickly, nothing in their way until they turned a corner to see 5 more Diggits patrolling. Sonic quickly skidded to a halt, but he couldn't avoid being seen by them. Turning as fast as he could to run, he was surprised to hear sudden explosions. He turned back to see...
"Tails, Cream!" Amy yelled, running past Sonic towards the Cyclone II. "You came to save us!"
"Sonic, Amy, we don't have much time, this place is triggered to explode in a few minutes! We have to get out of here!"
"What?" Amy yelled in surprise.
"Ok Tails, sure," Sonic said quickly, "Just lead the way out of here, and quick!"
"Cyclone II, transform!" Tails yelled, pressing a couple of buttons on his console."
"Transform to Racer Mode!" Cream yelled, pressing buttons on her own console in sync with Tails.
The resulting effort of the fox and rabbit led to the Cyclone II transformation. First, it lowered itself down, touching the ground. The legs locked up into the main body and out from their sides, wheels were uncovered. Small stilts quickly came out, lifting the Cyclone II into the air slightly, and allowing the wheels to lock into place and at the right height. Finally, the missile launcher retracted and in its place was left a stylish drag race fin.
"Ok, follow me!" Tails called out to Sonic and Amy, and then quickly revved the engine before speeding the Cyclone II in its new form along the passageways of the digging complex. Sonic grabbed Amy's hand and quickly sped off after Tails, not wanting to be left behind.
"Cream," Tails started from the front seat of the Cyclone II, "while in Racer mode, you only have two retractable Vulcan cannons on either side of the Cyclone II. They are completely 180 degrees rotate able, and fire independently, each using one of the two joysticks you have."
"Ok, Tails." Cream said, pressing a button to release the Vulcan cannons. The targeting reticules came up on her screen immediately afterward and she quickly gripped the two joysticks.
"Be careful though, I can't reach my top speed of Mach 2 while those are out unless I want them to be blown off, so just remember to retract them when I tell you to."
The group of four sped throughout the complex, quickly making their way. Sonic was surprised however as they made a turn away from the elevator they used to get in. He quickly sped up to the side and started talking to Tails.
"Tails, shouldn't we go back to the elevator?"
"That's no good Sonic, the whole thing is jammed thanks to something Eggman did. So we have to find a new way out, but it's on the other side of the pyramid."
"What do you mean? The only thing on the other side is just a solid rock wall!"
"I know, just trust me." Tails gave a small wink to Sonic, and quickly sped up. But then his radar beeped.
"Cream, I got something stuff on my radar. Possible Eggman robots closing in from behind." Just barely after saying that, laser fire started appearing around them like rain.
"They're in my sights Tails." Cream said. She could see the Diggits closing in and quickly started firing. With only a few hits the Diggits started dropping like flies, and Cream kept up a constant barrage.
Turning a few more corners, Tails soon found the passageway he was looking for, but more problems aroused. The bombs Eggman had set started going off, causing buildings and lots of rock and dirt to start tumbling everywhere, including around them.
Tails quickly lurched back and forth, dodging rocks that kept falling in front of him. Moving quickly left and right, he could soon see the wall that he was looking for, and started to speed up. Cream soon noticed a warning come up during her firing spree to retract the Vulcan cannons.
"Tails, what's going on?"
"I'm going to max speed, hold on tight!" A small boom was heard as Tails broke through the sound barrier and started to rapidly approach top speed. The Vulcan cannons were quickly retracted as to avoid them being ripped off from just the wind. Sonic and Amy, within the slip stream of the Cyclone II were able to keep up.
Tails quickly sped through the rest of the passageway, easily avoiding rocks by just speeding under them as more and more explosions happened and the pyramid slowly started to crumble away, threatening to engulf Sonic and his friends. Nearing the end of the road, he quickly started punching in a few buttons.
"Digger Drill, activate!" Tails yelled, a huge drill appearing out of the front of the Cyclone II. It soon started to spin incredibly fast as Tails rammed the Cyclone at top speed into the wall. Although the pyramid wall was sturdy and considered indestructible, the Cyclone II ripped through it like a hot knife through butter with Sonic and Amy right behind them. Next thing the foursome knew, they were speeding along the desert sand once again and away from the pyramid.
Stopping a little way away, the group turned to see the pyramid that was now just a huge mess of rubble, it having caved in only seconds after they had escaped.
