As Sonic ran away from Gordon, trying to find another entrance to the factories, but without going through all the security checkpoints, Sonic found he still had to fight a lot of robots on the way.
After having Spin-Dashed his way through his 19th gray-and-red-striped-robot, Sonic found the windows to the factories once more, just like Gordon had a little short while ago. "Hmm, I see any other entrances... I can only see that single door on the other side, and a ventilation sha- WAIT! That's IT! The vents!" With that new intel, Sonic sped off back to the armory where he first met Gordon.
Entering the rusty room where the H.E.V. Mark VI was, Sonic easily found the new looking venting shaft Gordon had nearly used when running from Sonic originally. Not hesitating in the least, Sonic jumped into it, and ran through the shaft. Gordon may have needed to duck to get in the shaft, but Sonic was short enough to run like normal through it.
After taking 2 right turns, a left, another right, and 2 final lefts, Sonic finally found the end of the vents into the weapons factory. The vent was open, but it had a 'door' preventing Sonic from exiting it. A single Spin-Dash fixed this, and Sonic fell to the ground floor of the massive factory.
Almost immediately, a group of 6 robots surrounded him. 5 of them were the green striped variation, with MP5's, but the last one had a blue stripe. This robot, however, held a weird looking prototype 'gun' like weapon. It had a hexagonal rotating part with some sort of orange energy swirling inside of it.
"Freeze intruder! This facility is off-limits to life-forms such as you," the leader, the blue striped one, said. Sonic just grinned, ready for action.
"You don't know who I am, do you? Apparently Eggman hasn't put that info in you guys yet." Sonic said as he got into a fighter's pose of his own. The robots all aimed at Sonic.
Sonic was the first to move, and the robots fired at him, except for the blue one. The bullets missing, Sonic cut right through the first robot in a shower of sparks, and he bounced into another green striped robot, and he split it right down the middle.
The 3rd and 4th exploded when Sonic let his friends kill those 2. Number 5 fell when Sonic punched its head into its own CPU, shutting it down. The last green stripe bot attempted to shoot again, but Sonic just kicked its gun arm, and it shot its own face right off.
"Now just you and me bud!" Sonic said to the remaining robot, that blue-striped leader. The robt said nothing as it pulled the trigger on it's gun. Nothing seemed to happen. "Jammed on you? Ha!" Sonic began to laugh.
A metallic sounding laugh also filled the air, causing Sonic to stop. The robot pulled the trigger again, and Sonic got pulled to the gun suddenly. Squirming to be released of the invisible force, Sonic clenched his teeth when it tightened. The robot seemed to be toying with Sonic, when it suddenly pulled another trigger on the weapon.
"AHHHH!" Sonic screamed when the force shot him into the wall at high speed, and the robot used the gun to pull Sonic back and fire him into that steel wall again, causing the hedgehog to lose consciousness.

Gordon walked past the checkpoint, and he rounded acorner, finding the door to the factory. "Finally..." Gordon sighed and shook his head as he opened the door. The first thing he saw was a robot, one with green stripes, and it was dragging Sonic, who was still unconscious, and was trying to get Sonic to go up the metal staircase.
"Stop!" Gordon yelled at the robot, who looked up to Gordon, at the top of the stairs.
"Move or you'll be knocked out just like your friend here," the robot demanded with a tone of menace. Apparently this robot was really programmed with all the characteristics of a human, excluding the ability to rebel.
"Try me..." Gordon got out his pistol and aimed it at the bot's head. The bot raised its weapon, and for a moment, Gordon hesitated. 'I recognize that thing...'
"One last chance... MOVE!" The robot reordered Gordon. Gordon's eyes narrowed, and Gordon once again concentrated with his weapon.
Gordon spotted the robot's finger pull on the trigger, and Gordon ducked out of the doorway, barreling off the stairs in time before he was shot by a flying Sonic, via the weapon. "Too close... way too close," Gordon said quietly as he landed on the factory grating below the metal staircase. Gordon looked around, only to see Sonic once again get shot at Gordon, but this time, Gordon had no where to run before he was hit by the hedgehog's limp body.
The impact knocked Gordon on the floor, and he had to move Sonic's body off him before he got up. There were several small cuts on the anthro's forehead, and Gordon saw this, making sure not to set Sonic down harshly, as to not hurt him anymore.
The robot jumped from the top of the stairs, landing next to Gordon, and it used the weapon to knock Gordon away, and off his feet once more. The impact hurt the scientist when he flew into a large canister containing large quantities of robot parts.
Morphine was injected to Gordon as he got up, and he continued to fight the robot. "I've gotta watch for that melee attack next time..."
"Surrender while you can!" The robot ran at Gordon, and Gordon had only a moment to block the fist of the bot's left arm. Gordon caught the bot's fist, and he began to tighten his grip, the suit multiplying the force. The bot's metallic hand began to compress, and it was destroyed beyond repair. The rbot shoved Gordon off with its other hand, and it shot Gordon away using the weapon.
The robot then walked over to a conveyor belt with hands being attached to arms of other robots. It ripped off the dead hand, and replaced it with a new one, and the machinery attached it in seconds. With its new hand, the robot moved away and walked over to Gordon.
Gordon got up, and he fired a few rounds at the robot, but the bot's armor was too strong to be pierced by the weak bullets from the 9MM weapon. Gordon's ears perked up when he heard a groan in the direction where Sonic lay. The robot looked also, and this gave all the room Gordon needed to attack. Gordon rushed the bot, and he disarmed the bot of the weapon it once held, and he shot the bot away. "What happened?" Gordon looked over and saw Sonic rubbing his forehead. The hedgehog caught on quickly without Gordon even saying a word to him.
Sonic sped at the robot, and he Spin Dashed the robotic armor of the green-striped robot. Still, the armor didn't break. "What kind of metal is this? I can''t even scratch it!" Sonic complained as he backed off next to Gordon.
"I think it's diamond reinforced. I saw some non-matallic material fall off it when I destroyed its first hand. It got a new one from that conveyor belt," said Gordon, pointing to the hand attaching belt. Gordon pulled the trigger on the weapon, and the robot flew into the grasp of the wepon, and Gordon shot it into a wall, damaging the wall, but not the robot.
"What the... how do you know how to use that thing? Isn't that a prototype?" Sonic asked Gordon as he looked at the scientist with a look of surprise.
"I've used this weapon before... it's a gravity gun. I don't know how it's here though..." Gordon confessed. Gordon saw the robot get up again, and it tried to escape. Gordon saw this and he pulled the bot to them using the gravity gun. "Tell us how to shut this place down!"
"Self-destruct sequence initiated," The robot said. "T-minus 4, 3, 2, 1..." Gordon fired the bot away, and it hit the staircase, exploding. Unfortunately, the stairs collapsed under the explosion's sheer force.
"Oh nice one. Now how are we gonna get outta here?" Sonic asked with a glare at Gordon.
"I still need to find how to disable this facility," Gordon replied as he looked around, spotting a console near a belt. Walking over to it, he found it to be a crane controller of some sort.
Looking upwards, Gordon saw a crane directly over his head. Grinning under his suit, Gordon maneuvered the crane to a machine that put together the head and the body of the robots. Using the crane to grab it, he crushed it and pulled it from the ground.
"That works too..." Sonic said with a bit of dumbfoundedness. Gordon then moved the crane over the broken off section of the stairs, and he lifted the section up, and set the stairs down where they could get back up to the hallways of the complex. "Geez! How do you do all this?"
"Simple. I went to college," Gordon said as he walked past Sonic. They then prooceeded up the stairs, making sure not to snap the crane cables. "You first." Sonic went into the halls first, and then Gordon followed.
"We need to stop the weapons productions also," Sonic started, but Gordon interrupted.
"No, the robots aren't gonna be made anymore, and that's enough. Plus, we could use those weapons ourselves, right?" Gordon smiled with the though of using the robots' own weapons against them.
"Uh, I don't use guns."
"Well, that just killed my idea of us both using weapons to bust this place up..."
Gordon walked on, and Sonic ran ahead, finding the door to the weapons factory. Sonic waited for Gordon, who used half his suit's auxilary power to sprint to Sonic. Gordon kicked open the door, finding no security was in the place yet. "Hmm, these all look familiar!"
Gordon's thoughts were proven concrete when he saw a belt of MP7A1's being dropped into a huge barrel of weapons. The barrels were taken when they were filled automatically by cranes, and replaced by more barrels. Another belt had M4A1's on it, and then one even had the same pistol Gordon held in his hands.
"Holy... this place has enough weaponry to supply an entire army!" Gordon said as he grabbed an MP7 off the conveyors. Unfortunately, it wasn't finished, and Gordon found none of the weapons were being completed here. It seemed they were all hauled off to another place to be finished. Gordon kept the unfunctional MP7 anyways.
"Uh, hate to interrupt your admiring these things, but... we got company!" Sonic pointed to the door as it was busted down by a group of robots, all with finished versions of the M4A1. And all were trained upon both the scientist and the hedgehog.
