Chapter 4: GUN Break-In

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic characters. I do own Sarroo Kanga and my other original characters that I will create.

Knuckles and Shadow were standing at the entrance to a huge GUN military base.

"I can't believe that we have to break into the GUN base and find the brainwashed Tails while avoiding the military." Knux complained. "Why did he have to be captured?"

"Stop complaining, Knuckles. Let's just get this over with."

So Knux and Shad went into the base and snuck around a few guards.

"So what's our plan?" Knuckles asked Shadow when they got to an empty room.

"We go to the main security room and take out the guards silently. We bypass the security system and find where Tails is. We shut off the system that he is captured and allow him to escape. We find him and get the information about where Eggman's base is." Shadow answered.

"That sounds hard."

A soldier walked into that room and saw them two. He ran out and sounded the alarm.

"Damn!" Shadow screamed. "They found us. Run!"

Knuckles and Shadow started running as fast as they could taking out the guards they had to. They finally made it to the security room and took out the soldiers.

"Knuckles hold off the guard until I bypass the system and free Tails." Shadow ordered.

"Can do." Knuckles got into battle position and started attacking the soldiers before they could shoot.

"Stupid echidna! They should be extinct by now! He's the last member!" One of the soldiers complained right before he was punched in the head.

Knuckles was doing cool acrobatic moves and martial arts tricks to dodge attacks from the soldiers and counterattack.

"Hurry up, Shad! I can't hold them off much longer!"

More and more soldiers came rushing into that room and Knux was fighting them all. They eventually stopped coming and Knux took the ones out. But then a GUN mech came hovering in.

"Spider Troops R-7 Fire Flurry reporting for action, Commander." The man in the cockpit of the mech said to the commander through his radio.

"Oh great." Knux said sarcastically.

The Fire Flurry fired a flamethrower straight at Knuckles but he jumped aside. It then fired its gatling gun at Knuckles but he moved away from the blasts. He got close up and jumped and tried to punch the mech but a fist extended from its waist and nailed Knuckles right in the face knocking him way back.

"Hang on, Knuckles. I'm not done yet!" Shadow said.

"You try doing this!" Knux said as he dodged flame from the mech again.

"I've almost got him, Commander." The man in the cockpit said to the Commander again.

"No you don't!" Knuckles screamed as he jumped high into the air and came down with his fist. It nailed the mech right in the cockpit. It walked back a little but got back ready to fight in no time flat.

"I've almost got it finished, Knuckles. Just hang on a little longer and I'll help you when I'm done." Shadow encouraged Knux.

"I'm trying my best!"

Knux tried the same move but the mech hovered to the left and avoided the attack. It then fired its gatling gun again at Knux and it hit him in the shoulder.

"Ow!" Knux screamed in pain as he fell to the ground.

"I've got him down, Commander. Now I just have to finish him."

The Fire Flurry walked up to Knuckles and got ready to fire. It did. But there was a red blur and Knuckles body was gone. Shadow had finished with the security and saved Knuckles just in time.

"Now I'll destroy you!" Shadow said as he unleashed a Chaos Spear at the machine. It activated a shield and protected itself from the blast. But the shield got deactivated.

The Fire Flurry shot flame at Shadow and Knux. They moved out of the way but it grazed them a b it and made them trip. The mech moved over to them and got in firing position. The next thing Shadow knew the mech blew up. When the smoke cleared Tails was standing right there.

"Tails!" Knuckles screamed in joy.

"Where is the Dr.'s base?" Shadow asked Tails.

"I'll never tell you!" He replied.

"Then we'll have to beat it out of you!" Knux said as he ran towards Tails.

Knuckles tried to punch Tails but Tails ducked and swiped Knux away with his tails.

"Ouch. That hurt." Knux said shaking the pain off.

"It's my turn now." Shad said as he jumped high into the air. He came down with a homing attack. Tails swiped him away. "Damn. He is tough. But I'll defeat him with this… CHAOS SPEAR!"

Shadow launched the purple spears towards Tails. They hit him dead on but he stood there without flinching.

"Weakling." Tails said as he threw bomb at Knux and Shad. It blew up and they flew sky high and went up two floors. Tails followed.

Tails walked over to them when GUN soldiers started firing at him.

"What?" Tails asked. He barely dodged the bullets and counterattacked the soldiers killing them. "Now to finish you two!" Tails looked over and Shadow was gone but Knuckles was still there lying unconscious. "Where is Shadow the Hedgehog?"

"Right here!" Shadow screamed as he jumped off the ceiling and landed on Tails with chaos energy surrounding him. Tails pushed him off and got up.

"What is that energy around you? Is that Chaos energy?" Tails asked.

"Yes it is chaos energy. It's a new move called Chaos Aura. Now I'll defeat you with it!"

Shadow ran and spin dashed at Tails. Tails swiped him away but got hurt himself. "Ow! Why did that hurt?"

"My Chaos Aura. Anyone who makes contact with it feels pain! So I'll destroy you!"

Shadow tackled Tails and lied on him inflicting Tails more pain every second. He tried to push Shad off but he was too injured.

"Yes. Feel the pain! Feel the agony!" Shadow said.

"Get off… of…. ME!" Tails said as he got a burst of energy and threw Shadow off. "I guess I'll have to destroy you with this!" Tails told Shadow as he pulled out a chaos emerald.

"A Chaos emerald!" Shadow exclaimed.

"Yes. And it will be your doom!"

Tails charged up a powerful blast with the chaos emerald. Shadow never knew the emerald wielded that kind of power.

"Now it is time to die!" Tails said as he got ready to fire the blast. But just before he did, it was swiped away from him by Knuckles.

"Fire the blast at Tails, Knuckles!" Shadow ordered.

"Alright. Nothing to lose."

Knux unleashed the blast from the Chaos Emerald and it was clear to hit Tails but right before it hit him he teleported away.

"What? How did he do that?" Shadow and Knux both asked.

Tails appeared behind Shadow and kicked him in the head. He revealed a second Chaos Emerald.

"He has two emeralds?" Knux asked. "Well oh well. I'll use this to attack you. I wonder if I know how."

"No Knuckles!" Shadow exclaimed when he got up. "Pass it to me! I can add it to my power and defeat him!"

Knuckles threw it but Tails leaped and grabbed it. "Thank you for returning my emerald. Now you both will be destroyed! Chaos BLAST!"

The blast of chaos energy filled the room and hit Shad and Knux. They fell to the ground injured. Shadow struggled but he finally got up.

"I'll defeat you, Tails. You can count on it." Shadow said in a whisper caused by his injuries.

Shadow used Chaos Control and appeared behind Tails in the blink of an eye. But when he tried to attack, Tails was gone. Shadow immediately elbowed behind him and hit Tails in the gut.

"You saw through my plan." Tails said holding his gut in pain.

"Easily."

Shadow then warped in front of Tails but Tails turned around because he thought Shadow was coming behind him. Shadow spin dashed him away. Tails got up and shot several Chaos Spears towards Shadow. They hit him and he fell to the ground. But then Tails was hit from behind.

"Who is there?" Tails asked himself.

When he turned around he saw Knuckles. Then Shadow hit him from behind and Knux hit him back. They kept hitting him back and forth.

"Release me at once!" Tails demanded. "I am not a ping pong ball!"

"You are now!" Knux said as he punched him back to Shadow.

"This is actually fun." Shadow said as he kicked Tails to Knuckles.

"Well if you two continue to do this I will tell you why Shadow is helping you, Knuckles." Tails said with a grin from ear to ear.

"What? Why?" Knuckles said.

Tails began to open his mouth to speak but then Shadow said "No!" and knocked him out with a powerful and quick kick.

"Why are you helping me, Shad?" Knux asked.

"That I can't tell you. Now let's search this fox and see if we can find Eggman's base."

Shad and Knux searched but found nothing that would lead to Eggman's base.

"I can't find any info on where Eggman's base is but I found where the brainwashed Amy is." Knux said. "She will probably know where Eggman is. So let's go!"

To be continued.
