"Chris!" Tails ran down another hallway, this one looking the same as the last. "Where are you?!"
Hearing some kind of noise, the boy lifted his head, though as he looked around, nothing was there. Sighing, he was about to give up, before he heard another noise... or a voice, rather.
"Chris!"
It was him! "Tails! In here!" Chris called out to him.
Head turning, Espio looked up and looked around cautiously. "That sounded like Tails."
"We should go check it out!" Amy said, leading the way.
Tails burst though a large metal door and spots his human friend. "Chris!" The boy's eyes widen as he hears the door open.
"Tails!" He exclaims before sighing in relief. "Am I glad to see you!"
"I'm sorry Chris about what I said before..." Racing over to his side, the apologize makes Chris sigh softly. "It's okay, Tails...but we need to get the Emeralds and save Sonic..."
"Hey guys!" Amy spots the two boys since they followed the fox's voice.
"Amy!" Chris looked up at her and gave a small sigh. "Where's everyone else?" Just after, Espio, Rouge, and the others appear around the corner
"You had us worried sick!"
"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you..."
"Smaller human has some minor injuries, none serious." Omega started
"Uh...Amy? Who's this?" The boy asked, looking warily at the robot.
"One of Eggman's old robots." Espio explained. "He's a turncoat and is helping us stop the doctor."
"I am E-123 Omega."
"Oh. Well, it's nice to meet you, Omega." He stuck out his hand for a handshake on instinct, having usually done that to those that he just met.
Omega gives the him the best look of confusion a robot without the power of expression could give.
Seeing as the robot wasn't responding, he just dropped his hand. "Okay...so is everybody here?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Now, all we have to do is get the Chaos Emeralds back and save Sonic from Eggman's control..."
"Won't be easy."
"I know... but we still have to try. For Sonic!"
"Alright! The Emeralds are probably being guarded by Metal Sonic, and Eggman will have Sonic with him..." Chris paused to think, putting a hand on his chin.
Shadow nods. "Most likely. Knuckles and I have a way to hopefully get Sonic under control or at least weak enough to capture."
"Right...so I guess you two can bring a few others with you and go for Sonic. While the rest of us get the Emeralds."
"What if they're together?"
"Then we all go together..." Chris said simply.
"Right." The group splits up into two, one for the Chaos Emeralds and another for Sonic.
"Some tea will calm the nerves." At the mansion Ella passed out tea to the people who remained behind.
"Thank you, Ms. Ella!" Cream said, taking a sip of the warm tea.
Cheese 'Chao'ed his thanks, Vanilla only giving a small nod, which was accompanied by a warm smile.
"I'm just so worried for them..." The blond actress sighs softly after taking a sip.
"It's okay, honey. I'm sure they'll be fine..." Her husband replies, wrapping an arm around her confortingly.
"Of course...but still..."
"Don't stress yourself Lindsey..."
"They'll be back soon."
"Yeah! It shouldn't be too much longer now..." He explains, gently rubbing her arm as he looks toward the door.
Shadow and Knuckles lead their group to Sonic and Eggman, which in the same room were the Chaos Emeralds. 'Seems we will come together after all...' The echidna thinks, not being able to help but give a small smirk.
Knuckles looks over the rest of their group, then to Shadow, as if for confirmation to move in. "Now!" The group jumps out from their hiding place, spreading out across the room as they started to advance on the 'doctor' and his 'pet'.
"There you pest are. Metal! Were! Stop them!" Eggman barks the order to the two blue hedgehogs.
On command, Sonic crouched on all fours, snarling before he pounced towards Shadow.
Metal, giving a small nod flies towards everybody else, tackling Knuckles and pushing him back to he nearest wall before going after Rouge. Lucky for her, the bat is ready, and swiftly dodges.
Growling, Sonic begins to circle his counterpart, head low and muscles tense. "Sonic, I know you're still in there. Snap out of it before someone gets hurt!"
The werehog's emerald eyes narrow further, and he growls a bit louder, getting ready to pounce again. He gave a low chuckle, baring his fangs before he pounced again, aiming for the onyx hedgehog's throat.
"Take that!" Shadow side steps and kicks him in the back. That knocks him off balance and Sonic growls, slashing at his stomach. Sonic gave a growl of satisfaction and leaped onto Shadow, roaring at his face.
"I won't go down so easily!" Shadow fought back.
The mutated hedgehog was about to slash at Shadow's throat, when a blue blur rammed into his side, knocking him a few feet away from the hedgehog.
Knuckles was standing opposite of them, a confident smirk planted on his face.
"You'll pay for that!" Metal got back to his feet and charged back at the echidna. "Take this!" Throwing punches.
Knuckles dodges, grunting as he gets hit.
"Hurry and take that tin can out!" Shadow called out.
"You know I'm not as fast as you or Sonic!" The echidna called back, twisting to dodge Metals attack. As the robot flew past him, he grabbed it's ankle and slammed it into the floor, punching his face in.
"There, happy now-" Knuckles was cut off as Sonic attacked him, only to be punched in the jaw.
Omega stood there. "Now assisting in battle, others are after Eggman." Suddenly large weapons appeared from Omega's arms. "Prepare to be defeated!" He fires a volley of shots towards Were and Eggman.
The beast sidehops the attack and races at the machine. "Rrraaaahhh!"
Omega grabs onto Were by the collar and throws him damaging the collar a bit.
"What was that?" Sonic and the beast stumbled as a cracked appeared in their mental world.
'Whatever happened outside is breaking this mental prison. Maybe I can use this to break free. Maybe an attack could help me breakthrough.'" Sonic thought dodging a slash from Were. "Hey! We're on the same side!"
Were looked at him puzzled before charging at Sonic once more. 'Looks like Eggman did more damage to him than me! It's like being stuck in a cage with a tortured monster trying to kill you!' Sonic dodge out of the way.
"BeastMe stop this!"
The beast looked at him and was about to strike when he noticed the look on Sonic's face. It could see some sort of emotion going through them. It looked like concern or worry but it seemed like something else.
"Snap out of it!"
"Are you going to do something or just stand there?" Eggman's voice echoed through Sonic's mind as the Werehog whined.
"I know you don't like Egghead bossing you around. You are a part of me right? You aren't different from me! You don't have to listen to him!" Sonic shouted. "Fight the collar! Fight Eggman!"
The werehog looked at Sonic and then back at the crack. "You aren't alone. You've got me. Now let's get out of here." Sonic stated as Were nodded and both of them faced the crack.
"We charge it one three. One...two...three!" Sonic shouted as he delivered a kick to the crack while Were slammed his fist into it causing the crack to spread a bit. "Again!"
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
*BAM!*
The crack began to grow bigger as they kept on attacking. Soon the crack was huge and looked ready to shatter with one more blow. "Together!"
The fight was intense, Eggman and summoned a small robot army to battle the heroes.
"They just keep coming!" Knuckles shouted irritated from the onslaught of foes.
"Did you guys notice Sonic stopped moving? Is there something wrong?" Amy asked. "Maybe Sonic is still fighting in there!" Tails answered realizing their friend was still in there.
"Then we can't waste anymore time." Shadow fired a spear at a robot.
"I got an idea." Tails spoke as he whispered something between them. "That could work." Shadow nodded while Knuckles had a toothy grin on his face that meant Sonic was going to be in for it.
Metal was busy fighting Omega. "Why do you fight E-123?"
"You won't understand. No sense in talking." Omega spoke firing multiple missiles at Metal.
"You're wasting your ammo." The robotic hedgehog easily dodged them.
"Am I?" Omega states as the ones Metal thought to have dodged struck him from behind. "I learn from my mistakes, do you?" Omega asks.
"Shut up.." He got back to his feet.
"Never underestimate your opponent. It will lead to your destruction." Omega stated waiting for the others to initiate their plan.
"I could same the same to you." Metal kicked Omega's leg and knocked him over. Who got to his feet quickly and counters with a barrage of bullets.
