Onboard the ARK, G.U.N soldiers were busy warming up their weapons, whether it be normal rifles, giant guns on the side of the colony, or even their G.U.N plane fighters.
The supreme commander, the master, of G.U.N stood in the room where most of the battling took place. It was where Gerald Robotnik's warning message appeared after the Chaos Emeralds were in place, all those years ago when Shadow was first released. The G.U.N master, as he was called, was named Bruce Beta Omega. He started G.U.N after noticing a lack of Mobius Military after Chaos attacked Station Square. He had two sons: Walter Beta Omega, and Leonard Alpha Omega. Walter was the younger of the two. He was a fine soldier, but he lost his whole body except his head during an attack on Robotnik. He now has a robotic body. Leonard was the oldest, but his father did not respect him at all.
His thoughts were interrupted when something blasted the window in front of him. A laser. Broken glass flew towards him, but stopped only but a few inches away. They were quickly sucked into space, along with Bruce. He activated a jetpack and flew back into ARK before he ran out of air. A message came up on their screen, and Count Sin appeared.
"Consider that a warning shot," Sin warned.
Count Sin put up his communicator and fired once again at their planes, bringing down 10 more.
"Fools. This suit is electronic and has A.I attached to my mind. I need not even target with the plane." commented Count Sin. He fired more lasers at the weak G.U.N planes.
"Hey, Blaze!"
"That's CTO Blaze while the Cap'n is present, Science."
"Yes sir... The E-Series robots have engaged..."
"Good."
"And the repairs on the Anubis are almost done."
"JUST LIKE THAT?" Blaze sprinted past the Science Officer and beheld the ship. He could have sworn it sparkled. "How did you guys get it done this quickly?"
"The equipment on the Death Utopia is far more advanced than anything you'll have come across, considering that up until recently you were a travelling Tactician," said the Science Officer.
"I'd be careful how you say that."
" gulp Yes, sir."
"HEY CAP'N! THE SHIP IS FINISHED!"
Dante's left ear perked at the sound of those words. He turned to a Madmole manning the command console.
"You! Hold the command center! If Count Sin calls for anything, give him what he wants!" Dante ran out of the control center and shimmied down the ladder into the hangar. There was the Anubis, good as new. Its tail flash still displayed the grinning stenciled visage of Robotnik. Each turret was repaired and fitted with new weapons. The dual missile racks to either side of the front cockpit were fully loaded with multiple-launch rockets, ready to rain down onto the Empire's enemies.
"Boys, as soon as the assault on the ARK is done, we have people to go pick up." He turned to head back to the control center, barely able to contain himself. Blaze grinned and climbed up the side of the ship.
"Well, I can see my house from here." He was looking through the window into his quarters onboard the Anubis. He continued to climb up to the top and began walking along, looking at the weapons.
"Whoa, AZ-30s! Sweet!"
Walter entered the cockpit of the giant mech robot. It was designed especially for him and his A.I. It was light blue, had a sword, and was more of a robot exoskeleton. He connected all the neccesary tubes and wires to his body, and flew out of the ARK and towards Earth.
"I will make you proud, father. I will destroy the Death Utopia, and Robotnik," Said Walter in a dull, robotic voice.
Count Sin was still obliterating G.U.N fighters when he noticed a giant mech fly out. It brought along 7 G.U.N planes that were light blue. They quickly surrounded Count Sin. The leader of the squad sent a message.
"Enemy fighter, we have you surrounded. Surrender now, and we will only make you our prisoner," said the squad leader.
"Over my dead body. Other people may have surrendered to you, but that is because they are nothing but cowards. I've already taken out almost half of your army by myself, here and in Chemical Plant. You cannot defeat me," responded Count Sin.
"Very well. We have no choice but to destroy you. I never miss a target," bragged the leader.
"Neither do I," said Count Sin menacingly. He set a different frequency for his radio, and sent a message to Dante.
"Dante, send in some Badniks to help fight. I've already taken out half their air force by myself. In fact, you and Blaze may join as well. However, they seemed to have released a giant mech robot. I need Robotnik's Egg Emperor unit to help combat It," said Count Sin, putting back his radio.
At those words, Blaze suddenly couldn't contain himself.
"Egg…Emperor? I call shot gun!" he yelled. He quickly raced to the storage facility of the Death Utopia. He went in as a Hedgehog, and came out operating one of Robotnik's most powerful mechs.
"All right! Let's go PWN their asses!" Blaze yelled.
"Hmm..." Blaze was currently hovering in mid-space surrounded by about three hundred E-Series robots.
"Spread out Badniks. Half of you take the ARK by force, the rest of you, with me!" He slammed on the thrusters and rocketed towards the enemy mech. The lance glowed and he smashed into the opposing mech with it.
"Well, lets see how well you pilot that thing," Blaze said.
Count Sin locked onto six of the elite fighters, but instead of firing lasers, he fired Chaos bombs. Each one of the fighters exploded in a colorful electric fury of shock waves. Now it was time for the leader.
"Impressive, but you can't get a perfect shot all the time," said the elite leader. Suddenly, one of the E-1000's accidentally hit Count Sin's ship with a stun laser.
"Sorry sir," said the E-1000 over the radio. Count Sin cursed under his breath, but stopped when he noticed the elite leader right behind him.
"Say goodbye, villain," said the elite leader, but Count Sin just laughed. Before the elite leader could question, his ship exploded into a colorful electric fury of shock waves, one of them hitting Sin and canceling out the stun effect.
"Unfortunate for you, my cargo storage was full of Chaos bombs," laughed Sin. He sped towards the colony and landed on a platform. As with the battle for Chemical Plant, G.U.N soldiers fell to the might of Count Sin, his sword soaked with blood.
"Too easy," Sin said as he decapitated another soldier.
Bruce started to panic. All of his soldiers were being destroyed. And the mech his son had left in was engaged in combat with another mech.
"All soldiers, back-up our mech soldier!" Bruce ordered. Leo groaned. Their whole army was going to be destroyed because of his father's stupidity.
Dante continued to monitor the battle from within the Death Utopia.
"Eggrobo, how are those upgrades going," he asked. No response.
"Soldier, I'm asking you a question. What's the progress of those weapons?" Dante asked sternly. He turned around to see all of the Eggrobos in the room destroyed, now nothing more than scrap. He also saw…
"Rouge the Bat. Figures someone like you would sneak on," Dante said. Rouge smiled.
"I'm just slippery that way," she said calmly. If Dante didn't know better, he'd say she was trying to seduce him, like she does everyone.
"You're out of luck. The Emerald's not on here."
"I'm not here for the Emerald. I'm here for revenge!" she yelled, her mood drastically changing.
"It's bad enough stealing jewels from a lady, but striking one? You should be ashamed!"
"If you're that mad, then come at me," Dante taunted. He gestured with his hands "come and get it," and Rouge followed, kicking at him with her legs.
"Leo, go down to Mobius and send a squad against Eggman's base. We have to stop him at all…" Bruce stopped talking. He heard the sound of the door opening. Turning around, he developed a look of terror.
Count Sin had entered the room.
"So, we meet at last. You must be the sole leader of G.U.N. By killing you, the war will be that much easier," Sin said. Bruce drew out an electrically charged double-bladed spear, while Sin revealed his gold sword. Three battles were about to take place: Blaze VS Walter, Dante VS Rouge, and Sin VS Bruce.
