Count Sin and the G.U.N master Bruce clashed their weapons together, creating sparks that flew everywhere.

"So, you are skilled in martial arts, I see," Sin said. The two continued to combat, blocking and countering blows.

"Take this!" Blaze yelled as he unloaded a barrage of missiles at the blue mech. It managed to block them all, but gave Blaze an opening as he swung his sword. The mech blocked it with it's own sword, but Blaze knew what he was doing.

"I saved a missile!" he yelled as he fired another one. It blasted the blue mech all the way into an asteroid field.

"Hiding are we?" Blaze questioned, following the mech.

Meanwhile, Dante and Rouge were throwing kicks and punches like there was no tomorrow. Dante had more power with his fists, and Rouge had more of an advantage with her feet. They seemed to be evenly matched.

"Take this!" Rouge yelled. Suddenly, Dante was blasted back by black energy.

"The Black Wave. Figures you'd use dirty tricks in a fight," Dante growled. He took out a metal ball and threw it at her.

"Same with you!" she yelled, kicking the ball away. Dante quickly appeared in front of her and kneed her in the gut. He looked down at her as he held her stomach.

"You thought that was a bomb, didn't you? Stupid. Your breasts must be bigger than your brain!" Dante joked, kicking Rouge a few feet away.

"This has gone on long enough," Sin said. He plunged his sword into the window, causing it to break. Leo held on to the nearest rail, while Sin and Bruce flew out into space. They both activated jetpacks, however, and flew back towards the colony, still fighting along the way.

"I will last longer out here. My suit gives me an unlimited supply of oxygen," Sin explained. Landing on one of the platforms, they did not discontinue the duel. In fact, it intensified. All around them, Badniks and G.U.N robots shot lasers and bullets. Bruce was no longer on the offensive. He had the same reflexes as Sin, but his spear was unable to cut through his armor.

Rouge now hung over the lone platform in front of the core of the Death Utopia. Below her was a bottomless pit. Above her, Dante was crushing her fingers with his feet.

"In a few minutes, my Badniks will activate the charging sequence. When that happens, this whole room will be filled with electricity. So, whether you survive the fall or not, you won't escape alive," he said, before shooting her hand with his rifle. She screamed as she fell into the pit below. Dante laughed and quickly ran out of the room.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are…" Blaze taunted the blue mech. The asteroid field was a perfect hiding place, but he would find him eventually.

"Die!" yelled the voice of the opposing mech. It collided its sword with Blaze's.

"Oh. It seems someone's mad," Blaze said sarcastically.

"You will pay!" the opponent screamed.

"Sorry, but those were just your last words," Blaze said. He quickly broke the lockhold, flew behind the blue mech and impaled its head with the Egg Emperor's sword.

"…" The pilot of the blue mech could not say a word. Blaze then pulled the sword out violently and sliced the mech's torso in half. He watched as the blue mech exploded, destroying some nearby asteroids.

"Take that!" Blaze yelled. He was overjoyed with his victory. Robotnik would have to give him a promotion now!

Bruce was in shock. His whole body turned pale. He had just watched the mech his son was in. The Egg Emperor had destroyed it.

"No…no!" he yelled. Sin took advantage of the opening and sliced his arm off. Bruce screamed in pain and fell onto the platform, clutching the stub where his arm used to be.

"Victory is now mine," Sin said, raising his sword into the air. Suddenly, some kind of light lifted Bruce into the air and pulled him onto a G.U.N ship. It flew off towards Mobius, leaving a streak of smoke. Sin turned on his radio.

"Good job Blaze. Maybe you'll get a doggy treat for your victory," Sin joked. He made his way to the core the Eclipse canon, where Shadow had fought Biolizard. He saw some kind of power source. It glowed more brightly than anything he'd ever seen. Upon switching his visor to X-ray he saw what it was…

"Holy…Blaze and Dante! Avoid striking the colony directly! This thing's being powered by a Super Emerald!"

"You're joking!" Blaze flipped on an open frequency. "All forces, do not fire on the ARK!"

"Sorry sir, one of our missiles has just been launched!"

"WHAT? Detonate it immediately!"

"Sir, the remote detonation is not responding!" Blaze growled and lit the venires, with full afterburners.

"If it can go wrong, it will…" 100 meters behind... 70... 50... 20... beside... in front...

Blaze used the lance wave to slice the missile into pieces.

"Alright, who fired that missile?" Blaze asked.

"E-series number..." the Eggrobo trailed off into a digit string.

"Uh-huh. Disassemble him and do a Beta MKII conversion."

"Yes sir..."

"Time to end this," Sin said to himself. He hacked into the canon's computer and aimed at the heart of the battle outside the ARK. The colony shook as the canon fired a light blue beam at the spot. A vortex opened, and G.U.N fighters and Badniks were sucked up quickly. Sin fired another blast and canceled out the vortex. All of the G.U.N soldiers had disappeared and a few Badniks remained.

"Perfect. Dante, ARK has been successfully captured. Report to Robotnik about our success," Sin said.

He slowed the course of the Death Utopia, opening all of the bay doors to let in the troops. Today was a grand day. The Empire now had dominion over the very heavens, as well as the Floating Island below. Even with the Guardian still running around, what was he to do? Sonic, oddly enough, hadn't even shown his face, and there was no word from Team Rose. He even killed Rouge the Bat. Dante smiled Ferally. It was a grand day indeed. The day that no one dared stand against the Robotnik Empire.
