Chapter 7
Operation Thunder Burst Part 1
The next morning
"Good looks like almost everyone's awake Bunnie would you mind walking Tails for me so he can join you, Sally and Antoine to the armaments area where Masaki will be training you thanks, Sonic Shadow you come with me" Blaze said as the two hedgehog's followed her
Bunnie nodded, then went to Tails' room. "Tails? Honey, are ye awake?" She said, opening it a bit. Then she gasped when she saw Cosmo asleep on top of Tails. "...Ah...Well, hm. Tails, it's time to get up." She said, gently shaking Cosmo in hopes that that would wake Tails up.
Tails opened his eyes and looked up to see Bunnie smiling his face turned red and sprung out of bed
"Mmmmmoring"
Bunnie caught Cosmo because when Tails suddenly got up she went flying off the bed. "Alright, Ah know ye're excited, but that's no reason to toss yer girlfriend off the bed."
Tails face got even redder
"Is their a...reason you woke me up?"
Cosmo woke up and let out a small giggle after taking one look at Tails
"Well I think I should go prepare breakfast"
Cosmo got out of Bunnie's arms and walked out the door
"Ye're wanted, hun. C'mon, Masaki's gonna train us." She said, chuckling a bit at his reaction. "Now, how long are ye gonna be red, hm?
Tails nodded and followed Bunnie to the armaments area
Bunnie smiled at him as she neared Masaki and then nodded to him. "Is this everyone, or will more be comin', sugah?" She said, looking around at the people there.
"Ok everyone now that you'll here we can begin, Cream you just sit and watch no need for someone your age to use a fire arm"
"Awww." Cream said, and then sat down with Cheese to watch. "I'm stuck the damsel in distress..." She said to Cheese, watching them train.
Masaki pulls a switch and a rack of special zoanoid killing guns appear Masaki then takes a hand gun off the rack and hands it to sally
"I herd your pretty good with a 9mm so your up first i want to see how good just step into the shooting zone when your ready and remember to aim at head of the targets"
Sally took the gun and looked it over. "...Right." She said, then stepped into the shooting range. When the targets came up, she fired at each one of them. Having had good practice against robots, her aim was very good. Once they were all down, she faced Masaki. "Well?"
Cream clapped and hugged Cheese to her chest. "Yay, Sally!"
"Not bad keep that up and you might even surpace me, Ok Antoine your up next"
Masaki hands something over to him
"Your sword has been remade so it can slice threw grunt zoanoids but don't try it on the Zoalords"
Antione nodded and took the sword, then sliced each of the targets quickly, beating them easily. Then he sighed and sheathed his sword, turning to Masaki, the battle won.
"Bunnie your up lets see what the robotic arm of yours can do"
She nodded and stretched it to hit a whole bunch at once, then did the same with her legs. "Ah can' change it much, but maybe that can be helped?" She said, looking at him
"Lets find out"
She smiled. "How? Will someone change my parts, or what?" She stepped aside for the next person to enter the range and glanced over at Cream. She was singing to Cheese, which was a good thing. She had her mind on something innocent
"Try extending them with out modifying the parts and if you cant just work with what you got"
Tails enters the shooting area with a small SMG in hand and begins shoot the targets until he's done
"Not bad but you could use some improvement ok you'll all done here, so please go to the lab where someone will be waiting for you"
Rouge turns her head when she sees the group standing behind her and hands them each a data pad
"These hold the data files for the 3 standard zoanoid grunt types I suggest you study them"
Sonic walked into the kitchen and sat down in one of the chairs with a tired looks on his face
"Amy could you please make me something to eat Blaze's training has got me really exhausted"
Amy turned and nodded, "Sure I will, Sonic!" She said, then starting cooking up some food, humming the whole time.
"Thanks Amy...you ok about everything that's going on anything you wanna talk about?"
She sighed and looked at him, smiling softly. "Only what I'm normally worried about. Will you survive though this?" She said, then brought him a chilidog and scrambled eggs. "Eat up. I've already eaten, so..." She faded off, sitting down and watching him. "I always worry about you, Sonic. Especially when you go into your Guyver form. What if you can't change back one day?"
"I wouldn't worry I have no intention of dying twice" Sonic said after finishing the meal
"That's why I'm so worried, though..." Amy said, pouting as she got up. "If you could die once, what if it could happen again? What if you don't come back this time?" She sighed and turned to him. "It's also not just you I'm worried about, but all of us. We could all be separated and never meet again, never even remember our own names! The thought terrifies me and saddens me at the same time..."
Sonic put his arms around Amy holding her close to him
"I promise I'll never let Chronos do that to you are any of are friends"
She clung to him, afraid to let him go. Afraid that if she did, she'd lose him forever. "Sonic...do you love me?" She asked, looking into his green eyes.
Sonic answered her question by kissing her
"Amy I feel you should know the reason I've been avoiding you is because I was afraid of getting hurt."
She gasped happily and returned the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm so happy now. You didn't want me hurt, so you avoided getting close...that's so sweet! I knew you loved me, Sonic!" She said, hugging him.
"I ment I was afraid I'd get hurt emotionally I'd rather not talk about it...I'M NOT SAYING THAT I WOULDN'T CARE IF YOU GOT HURT"
But, in her silly little fantasy, Amy didn't hear when he corrected her, as was usual for her. She was too busy imaging them both on a white horse, a sword in his hand with robots beaten all over. Oh yeah. And she was dressed like a princess and him a knight.
"Attention everyone to the briefing room on the double"
Amy broke from his arms saying, "We've gotta go." She started walking towards the briefing room, pulling him by the wrist with her. After a bit, they were going too slow since it was at her speed, so she felt herself being swooped up and everything went by quickly as she clung to Sonic.
Bunnie nodded and started heading that way, Antione with her and Sally as they went.
Cream watched them, and then followed as well. "Hey, am I supposed to go too, or should I stay here since I can't fight?" She asked Masaki, who'd started going with the others when he was called.
"I don't know do whatever the heck you want"
Cream nodded and followed, sitting down in the briefing room with all the others. What was going on?
"Good your all here now down to business, We have found the H.Q. of the Chronos corporation and we are going to lay down an attack the will we enter their H.Q. via a cave once inside you will split into two teams team one will consists of Tails, Bunnie, Sally, Antoine and Masaki your mission will be to find the computer diagnostics station and delete all zoanoid data everyone else will be assigned to team 2 who's objective will be to destroy all un-activated zoanoids, Sonic will cover team 2 and Shadow will cover team 1 while heading for where the Chaos emeralds are, One last thing Tails we'll need you to get your Ship the Blue Typhoon so Cream, Cosmo and myself can monitor your progress"
"Hey, we're teamed up together, Tails!" Sally said, ruffling his bangs a bit before listening to the rest.
"Ahright. Ah can do that." Bunnie said, smiling happily at Tails and Masaki. "Hope ye don' mind our company, sugahs."
"Eet is an honor to work with yew once again, Tails." Antione said, bowing to him slightly. "I vill do my bezt to help you anyway I can."
"So, I have to stay back?" Cream said. "At least I'll be with Cosmo." She nodded. "Take care, you guys."
2 hours later
"Well theirs the cave lets move people"
A few minutes later after exploring the cave
"Ok I haven't find head nor tell of...hey a metal door thats got to be it"
Sonic gonks at what he sees after they open the door
"You've got to be kidding...ok recap were a couple of hundred feet under water the floors and walls are electrified so we don't want to fall off the walk way and to top it are off deadly turrets pointing straight at us, Oh this day just keeps on getting better and better"
Jus' great. Well, it's nothin' we can' handle!" Bunnie said, looking at Tails. "Wha's our move, sugah?" She said, readying for battle.
"I vill fight any dangairs to the death!" Antione said, pulling out his sword. "We vill be victourious!"
"Whenever you give the word, Masaki, Tails." Sally said, also readying for battle.
"Everyone make a run for the entrance door while Sonic, Shadow and myself provide cover"
Sonic, Shadow and Blaze transform into their guyver forms and begin to destroy the turrets with their head lasers
"Come on lets move "
Tails said heading in the direction of the computer mainframe
"Right!" Sally said, the others followed. "What if they get through them? What then?" She said, glancing back at the group fighting as she ran.
"Sonic's never let us down before"
She nodded. "You're right. But, what about those other two? Think they'll hold out?"
"Now is not the time for that we got zoanoids"
Tails turns to see the door to the room with the computer main from in it
"Sally use Nickole to hack to doors locking mechanism so we can get in we'll give you cover" Tails says as he opens fire on the zoanoids
Sally nodded and started to hack into it as Bunnie and Antione fought to protect her. Once it was opened, she quickly put Nicole away and said, "C'mon! Let's get going!"
"Ah'm comin'." Bunnie said, rushing in, Antione with her, still fighting as they went inside. "Okay, Tails. Your move now."
"First things first I wanna download the data onto to this disk"
Tails waited unto the data was downloaded then extracts the disk and destroys the computer mainframe with a small bomb
Just then they can slashes noises on the other side of the wall which breaks and Yentsui steps threw the broken wall
Bunnie quickly got into a battle position, Antione and Sally joining her. Sally fired at him, while Antione ran forward and sliced with his new sword, surprised by how light it was. "Sacre Bleu..."
Bunnie started using martial arts moves on it, but she stretched her robotic parts to increase the damage and hit him hard. Then she flew back as she was hit, and lay still. This guy was too powerful!
"Bunnie!" Sally said, then fired at him while running over to check on her. "Bunnie, are you okay?" She said, and Bunnie mumbled something she couldn't make out. "What?"
"Ah said, 'Ah'm seein' stars, hun, but Ah'm okay...' You better get back to the battle...Ah'm just goin' to...rest." Bunnie replied, not mentioning how her robotic arm had been bent out of shape. Sally had been too worried about her Mobian parts to notice. "Go!"
Sally nodded and went back to the battle with Antione and Tails. "Tails, Bunnie's out of the running, chance of survival?"
Yentsui Walked over to Bunnie and picked her up be the head then he chopped off her robotic limbs with one of his arm blades and tossed her aside turning to Antoine who was trying to cut him with his said Yentsui grabbed his hand and broke it then slammed him into the wall he then walked over to sally who was cowering in fear and began to choke her
Guuuahhhh..." Sally said, trying to escape his strong grip. "I-It hurts...stop...please..." She said, her eyes shaking in fear as he choked her tightly. Her hands weakly tried to move his, but they soon fell limp as she grew unable to fight back. Her eyes looked over at Antione, who was going to Bunnie, who was dying. "Bu..." She managed to get out, but failed to get any more out.
Antione tried to re-attach her limbs, but failing, he could only sit by her body and let her
blood cover him. "...Tails...what can we do?" He said, holding his broken hand. He'd been able to crawl over to Bunnie, but she was dying and he couldn't help her. So, she was to die? And they were to be captured? It wasn't fair!
Bunnie lay dying, darkness taking her. She couldn't survive this. Thos limbs were most of her body, and now she was only a torso, which was dying quickly.
Tails trys to stop Yentsui but is knocked out of the way
Damnit I need the power I want the power I want to control my TRUE power my TRUE form
Tails body burst into flames as he transformed into his zoanoid form
(Basically it he now looks like the nine tailed fox from Naruto expect he has 2 tails not 9)
Tails slashed at Yentsui with his claws causing him to release her
"SALLY, ANTOINE GRAB BUNNIE AND GET BACK TO THE BLUE TYPHONE NOW!"
Sally fell loose and coughed as she ran over to grab Bunnie and her robotic limbs, then both escaped with Antione. So, Tails could transform into a zoanoid form? It made no sense. Why didn't they say that during the meeting? Did they know that he could do that?
Antione held onto Bunnie's remaining hand, feeling it grow colder and colder in his grasp as they got onto the Blue Typhoon. "Bunnie...pleaze, hang in zhere..." He said, trying to keep her with them. Any longer, and they may not be able to save her!
"So you can control your zoanoid form now well that still won't do you any good"
Tails starts fight Yentsui with his tails as Yentsui attacks with his arm blades eventually Yentsui almost hits Tails but he dodges and uses his flame thrower breath melting his face he then knocks him into another room and bashes him into a tank of acid which destroys his right arm and begins to eat the upper right side of his body, Yentsui then falls downward threw the hole the acid has made in the floor and Tails transforms back into his Mobian form and collapses on the ground
Masaki finds Tails Laying on the ground and picks him up then carries and being to walk the long walk to the exit of Chronos's H.Q.
