Chapter 35, stealing a shuttle.
Spaceport.
A team of Resistance solders was making their way through some heavy snow, they was heading towards the Spaceport that Shadow had told them about.
Some of the noticeable members of this group was Tails, Rouge, Silver and Gadget, Amy had wanted to come as well but everyone agreed that it would be better if she stayed behind.
Gadget shivered, it was freezing cold, the group had decided to land their transport a couple of miles away from the Spaceport in order to avoid their scanners, however this meant that the group now had to make the rest of the journey on foot.
Tails was eager to get to their destination, he seemed to think that it was his duty to rescue Sonic, it was clear that Tails was still blaming himself for Sonic's capture.
Silver and Rouge was much calmer, they both knew that this was a very difficult and dangerous mission and they had to stay focused if they wanted to succeed.
After some time the group neared the Spaceport, the Spaceport was a huge shipping facility, there was shipping crates all over the place, there was trains that was transporting supplies all over the facility and there was a large amount of shuttles all waiting for take-off.
"Ok, we're here, so now what" asked Tails, "Now we just need Shadow to deactivate their security" said Rouge.
Rouge activated her communicator, "Shadow, we're in position" she said, "Alright, be ready to move quickly, I doubt that this will last long" came Shadow's voice.
Suddenly several security cameras and spotlights all around the Spaceport deactivated, "Ok, everybody move now" said Rouge.
The entire team moved into the Spaceport, the team soon split off into four smaller teams, they hoped that they would be less noticeable if they moved in smaller groups.
Silver led his team straight toward the shuttles, they made it about halfway there until they was seen by a squad of EGG pawns, "Everyone keep going" said Silver as he stayed behind to battle the robots.
Silver began to tear the robots apart one by one using his psychokinesis, Silver was doing quite well against the robots, however he was causing so much of a commotion that every nearby robot was heading straight towards him, soon Silver was so busy fighting robots that he had no chance to return to his team.
Silver's team was having a lot of trouble, despite Silver keeping a lot of robots busy they had run into a group of EGG fighters and they was now fighting for their lives.
Tails and his team had managed to hide inside one of the many trains, "Ok, this should take us straight to one of the transports" said Tails to the group.
Everyone in Tails's group was worried that they would be discovered at any moment, but luck seemed to be on their side and the train stopped near one of the transports without any trouble.
"Come on, let's get on board before anyone sees us" said Tails, Tails and his group boarded the nearest shuttle, once on board Tails hacked into the ships computer and took control.
"Sonic here we come" thought Tails as he flew the ship up into space.
Rouge had directed her team to make their way around the sides of the Spaceport in order to avoid the few robots that was guarding the facility.
While it did take them some time Rouge and her team eventually reached a shuttle without being detected, "Looks like G,U,N's training really does payoff" thought Rouge as she and her team boarded a shuttle.
A member of Rouge's team who was a skilled pilot ran up to the controls and soon took control of the shuttle, then they was on their way to the Death EGG.
Gadget and his team was already having trouble, they had been detected by some EGG gunners and they was pinned down by gun fire.
Gadget was armed with one of the new wispons, this wispon was equipped with laser, burst and lightning, Gadget had also brought along several of his mini bombs, Gadget fired several laser shots at the robots but they just kept coming.
"What should we do" asked one of the solders, however Gadget had no idea what to do, he couldn't see any way out of this mess.
Things became much worst when the EGG gunners began to use their missiles to destroy Gadget and his team's cover, Gadget and his team did everything that they could to stop the robots but there was just too many of them.
However just as the robots started to pick off Gadget's team Shadow teleported into the middle of the group and used Chaos blast to destroy all of the robots.
"You should be more careful, I might not be here to save you next time" said Shadow as he walked out of the piles of broken robots.
However before anyone could thank Shadow they all received a destress call from Silver's team, "Hello, can anyone hear us, we need help immediately" said the transmission, Shadow sighed, "It look like we'd better go and help them" he said sounding a little annoyed.
Gadget looked in the direction of the shuttles they was only a couple of building away, "Shadow, I can reach the shuttles from here, take my team and help the others" said Gadget, "Fine, but you'd better know what you're doing because no one's going to be able to help you now" said Shadow.
Gadget fired his grappling hook at the nearest building and swung towards the shuttles, he swung off of another building and soon reached one of the shuttles.
Gadget boarded the shuttle and hacked into it to take control of it, however as Gadget flew the shuttle away from the Spaceport he realised how much danger he was in now that he was alone.
Shadow led Gadget's team towards Silver's team, when they got there they saw that Silver's team was now completely surrounded by Eggman's robots.
Shadow fired several Chaos spears at the robots while Gadget's team fired their wispons, soon Silver also arrived to help battle the robots.
"Why did you leave your team behind" said Shadow as he ripped the head off of an EGG pawn, "I thought that I could keep the robots busy" answered Silver sounding rather ashamed that his plan didn't work.
With the combined efforts of Shadow, Silver and both teams all of the robots was soon destroyed, however it was at this point that the alarms went off.
"Eggman knows that we're here, we have to go now" said Shadow, "But what about the mission" asked Silver, "It's up to the others now, we have to get out of here" said Shadow as several large groups of robot began to make their way towards them.
The entire group quickly made their way out of the Spaceport, they was lucky that no one else was killed during their escape.
Now that they was out of the Spaceport Shadow, Silver and the rest of the Resistance team began to head towards the Resistance transport that was a couple of miles away, all they could do now was hope that the others was able to rescue Sonic.
