Chapter 5: Clone captured... what to do now?
As i was saying, knucles tried to attack "the other sonic" while he was distracted, but since z-12 was trained to deal with more than 1 opponent at the same time, he easily managed to get engaged with knucles, now things were getting worse...
Rouge: classic... the dumb meathead with giant fists always screwing up... its time for me to act
unfortunately rouge ended up doing the excact same thing, now it wasnt just a trio, but now a fourthsome, all 3 were struggling with z-12 while he was doing the same thing, sonic was attached to z-12's right arm, rouge on his other arm, and knucles had z-12's legs blocking his arms
eggman: ... -on the comunicator- you're trapped... i cant help you now
z-12: wait doctor! you still can!
eggman: but how? you're stuck with those 3 losers! there's no way to help you to avoid being captured!
z-12: you can... "punish" me... it will unleash a chain reaction that will take them all out... hurry!!
eggman: allright... but it better works for your own good, i cant afford to lose a useful weapon...
Then it happened... eggman activated the control of the electric devices on z-12's body, the promised chain reaction happened, a huge electricity current that hit both hedgehogs and rouge, knucles got little less damage, but still a dangerous voltage, the ammount of electricity between the 4 provoked an explosion that send them all flying, knucles crashed against a tree, rouge against some abandoned hot dog stand, sonic straight to another bus, and z-12 crashed straight on a wall...
z-12: ugh... that hurt more than i had calculated... at least it worked...
Tails: sonic!
Amy: NO!!
as expected, no one payed attention, almost inmediately the G.U.N. soldiers divided in two, one group to attend the injured, and the other group to capture z-12, despite all the injuries, z-12 forced his way out of the wall, he got weakened to the point of barely being able to stand on his feet
z-12: you... wont stop me... from completing my mission...
Tails: he still refuses to give up?! he hurt himself just to defeat the others... and he still wants more... we need to stop him before he hurts the others more!
Amy: or... himself...
Tails: what?
in that moment amy was seeing directly into z-12's eyes... they showed that he was really there willing to complete his mision, however... unlike any other enemy eggman had sent, his eyes looked warm, so nice, it was hard to believe that he was some eggman's minion would have the very same good-hearted and a bit crazy of sonic's...
Soldier: allright.. give up! you're surrounded!
all of the soldiers were pointing their guns at z-12
Clonix: -on the comunicator- BOSS DON'T!
z-12: no... dont interfeere, go back to dr's base...
Clonix: ... understood
while the other group took the injured to an ambulance, everyone saw z-12, he was handcuffed and he was having a hard time walking, he had fought up to his limit and he had recieved too much damage
Soldier: you better give up now... you're injured and no one will save you!
Eggman: -evil shine on his eyes- change of plans... surrender to them, you will recieve more instructions once you're there
z-12: -in a whisper so none of the soldiers would hear him- copy... -to the soldiers- well... looks like you got me... i wont resist...
Soldier: take him away...
Amy: -running to them- wait! what are you going to do with him?
Soldier: we'll take him to a special cell in area 99 and... WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S SECRET INFO, I WONT TELL YOU!
with that said... everyone was taken away, the battle ended in a complete confusion, while amy and tails went into the ambulance to check their friend's condition, someone on his secret base was having a huge triumph grin
Eggman: finally! haha! he will recover... but his healing will take some time... so when he finally heals it will be too late to avance with the plan, we wont allow that, he will help me get my victory! and finally the start of my empire!
Decoe: now what doctor?
Eggman: proceed to the next phase, take the "behavior modifier" and prepare it to move it to our desert base
Bocoe: the one with the launching platform?
Eggman: that's right, its time for me to do the thing my grandfather didnt made...
to be continued...
