Sorry for the wait again! I have lots of school works around these days, and also many new games I'm busy with…
I have changed the title chapters for the previous chapters. They sound cooler this time. Don't you think so?
Chapter 13: Infiltrating Eggman's Base! An Army of Robot Attacks Us!
In Tails's workshop…
"What are you doing back here anyway?" Roy asks Tails. "I can't wait to kick Eggman's ass."
"And what a lame name that is…" comments G&W. "I'm here to bring along a useful weapon," says Tails as he walks up to a sheet-covered thing. He pulls off the sheet to reveals a blue biplane underneath it. "The Tornado 2!"
"Yeah? It's just a biplane," says Samus. "It's no mere biplane," says Tails. "It's a powerful fighting machine! Just watch!" Tails climbs up the biplane and presses the buttons on the control panel. Immediately, the biplane's wheels withdraw into the main body and are replaced with mechanical legs. A large rocket launcher and sniper gun rises from a small hatch near the tail of the biplane. "Tada!"
"Cool!" says Fox in awe. "You're really smart for an age like you!"
"All right, we're ready to go now!" says Sonic. "I want to come along!" says Amy, holding onto Sonic's arm.
"You'll get yourself into danger!"
"I won't! My Piko Piko Hammer can protect the both of us!"
"All right… Don't cry when you get into trouble." With this, the group exits the workshop. Tails flies up in his Tornado, and while in midair, he 'scans' the entire island with the plane's computer. "I found it!" shouts Tails from above. "It's in the northeastern direction!"
""North is up and east is right," says Parry. "From my point of view, I say we go towards the house there."
"That's Big's house," Sonic tells him. "And that's not northeast, but west."
The group travels through the ruins and eventually comes to a forest. They travel through the forest, beating up any dangerous carnivores along the way. The even encounter a Darkling, but the Smashers got rid of it with you-know-what. They eventually came to a large lake. "How are we going to cross this lake?" asks Sonic. "You know I can't swim!"
"This is simple," says Mewtwo. He points his finger towards the lake and fires a white beam. The beam hits the lake and creates an ice bridge stretching to the other side of the lake! "Cool!" exclaims Amy. "You have lots of amazing powers!" And they all cross the ice bridge to the other side of the lake.
They keep on walking and walking, all the way to a rocky area. After getting through loose cliffs, rockslides, several wild beasts, and foot aches complaints, they finally see Eggman's base from a cliff they're standing on. "We're here at last!" says Sonic, and then he turns to the Smashers. "Let's… go…" He sees that the Smashers are all worn out and tired.
"Going to Bowsa's castle in da past-a eezn't theez far…" says Mario, who is panting heavily. "I never thought flying would be tiring…" says Parry, who is lying flat on the ground.t
"I thought you guys can do better than that!" says Sonic with a disappointed face. "You should be like me, always energetic and ready to run!"
"Right!" says Amy, who is also still energetic. "That's why I like Sonic so much!"
Unknown to them all, Eggman had already noticed them standing above the cliff. "It's no surprise that they will come here!" he says to himself. "They came at just the right time too!" He pulls out a microphone and shouts into it, "Robots! Attack!"
Bird-like robots fly out from the base and heads for the Smashers. "Eggman's robots are attacking us!" cries Tails. "That's no big deal!" says Sonic. He jumps off the cliff and into the air. "What are you doing!" cries Popo. "Suicide!" Sonic curls into a ball in midair and shoots himself at the incoming fleet. When he hits one robot, he immediately bounces onto another robot, and then to another. Eventually, he destroyed all the robots in the air and then hops back onto the cliff with the others. "Finished!"
"That was cool!" exclaims Nana. "All right! Let's go for the base!" says Sonic, and then he runs down the cliff, along with Amy and Tails, who flies off in his Tornado 2. "Wait for us!" shouts Roy as he runs down the slanted cliff, followed by the other Smashers. The Ice Climbers had their specially designed 'Ice Shoes' on, so they can slide down the rough cliff easily. Mario, with Parry on his shoulder, slides down the cliff on his butt while shouting, "WEEEEEEEEEE!" Samus morphs into a ball and rolls down the cliff. Fox simply sprints down the cliff and Mewtwo just teleports down there. G&W hops on top of a sled gotten from nowhere and slides down. Roy is the only person with trouble sliding down. He tried sprinting down like Fox, but trips and starts rolling downwards while screaming, "YAAAAAAAH!"
Sonic and Amy run towards the base and barges through the fence. An army of robots approaches them to prevent them from getting any further. Sonic rolls into a ball and rams down the robots blocking his way. Amy swings her hammer around, smashing the robots into pieces. Tails, in his Tornado 2, fires a spray of machine gun at the robots in the air. A huge fleet of flying robots flies towards him and shoots him. Tails quickly performs a 'barrel roll' to deflect the shots, and he fires a homing missile at the fleet. The missile hits one robot, and the explosion causes the other robots to explode in a chain reaction.
By the times the Smashers got to the battlefield, all the robots were destroyed. "Those hairballs have taken all the prey!" says Roy angrily. "Whatever! Let's go inside the base!" says Fox.
Sonic and Amy are already inside the base. Tails had transformed his Tornado 2 into battle mode, in which the biplane has legs, and is with Sonic also. The Smashers got into the base and sees the hallway filled with scrap robots. "They beat us here too!" cries Roy.
The trio is really good in fighting robots. A large horde was tossed at them, but the three took them out in few seconds. By the time the Smashers reached the scene, the trio had already left, leaving behind only a pile of scrap metal. "They're fast…" says Popo.
The three fought their way through and, eventually, the came to a large door with the word Eggman imprinted on it. "Looks like we made it," says Sonic. "Eggman must be behind that door," says Tails. They approach the door and it opens, allowing them to go in. Behind the room is a large empty room. "Did we come to the wrong place?" asks Amy. "Nobody's inside." Suddenly, the door behind them shuts tight and waters start rushing in from holes on the wall! "It's a trap!" cries Tails. "Not water!" cries Sonic in fear. "I hate water!"
The Smashers finally reach this same door. "Eggman is behind this door for sure," says G&W. Samus stops him and says, "This isn't so easy. A villain wouldn't tell you where he is hiding. Even though this door has the name Eggman imprinted on it, it is surely a trap to lure us in."
"You can be right," says Fox, rubbing his chin. "So we should take that door instead!" says Samus, pointing to another door with the words Do not enter this room. Eggman is not inside imprinted on it.
They walk up to the door and it opens. When they go inside, they see a large amount of robots staring at them. "Now which one of you is Eggman?" Roy shouts out to the robots. "I sense that he isn't in this room," says Mewtwo. "The door we saw earlier was the one."
The Smashers glare at Samus for bringing them into the wrong room. "You can't blame me!" she says. "How would I know what kind of man Eggman is?"
In the other room, the water level is getting higher and higher. "This door won't break!" says Tails after shooting the wall with several missiles. "We're done for!" cries Sonic. "Grab onto the Tornado!" says Tails. "It can float on water!" Sonic and Amy jumps onto the wings of the Tornado. They can't do anything but watch the water level rise higher and higher. Eventually, the water stops rushing in, but the water level is very high from the floor already. Good thing the Tornado can float on water. "What are we gonna do now?" asks Amy.
"Now to kill you!" shouts a voice from nowhere. "Who's there?" asks Sonic, looking around. Suddenly, a large metal tentacle shoots out from the water to hit the Tornado, but Tails quickly drives aside to avoid it. A giant octopus-like mech emerges from the water, and Eggman can be seen inside the mech's cockpit. "Eggman!" the three of them gasp.
"Since water is your weakness," says Eggman. "I have decided to use it against you! Now die!"
Meanwhile, the Smashers are beating up the robots they have encountered. "Now this is fun!" says Roy as he slashes the robots. "I've been waiting for this moment!"
"I don't think this is fun!" cries Nana, who is being chased around by a robot.
