Chapter 6 - Melding of the minds

Sonic and Tails now stood at the base of the mountain looking up. "Well grab on Tails, let's get up there and kick Robotniks butt so we can go home." Sonic grabbed Tails hand and was ready to fly. "Ummm, you won't believe this but my tails won't work."

"What do you mean they won't work?" Tails looked puzzled.

"They just won't work." Sonic laughed, "Well guess we are climbing then." Sonic looked up and sighed.

A familiar voice shouted, "Hey you guys! What's up? We followed you to the prison you guys were in and found a map. We thought you might need some help." Star said.

"Depends if you are up for the climb?" Sonic said

"No problem we're soldiers after all."

The gang jumped onto the mountain and began the long climb to the top. About half way up Sonic looked very tired. "Damn this is hard, I feel like falling off..."

"Tough it out little buddy, you can make it!"

"Ummm, Tails."

"What?"

"You just called me little buddy."

"Oh did I?" Tails shrugged and carried on climbing. The gang made it to the top and lay there with there legs hanging off the edge breathing heavily. "Never again!" Sonic shouted panting like he just ran a marathon.

"Totally... Even I'm exhausted and I was trained for this!" Balrog said. The gang got up and ducked behind a nearby boulder.

"So any plans?" Sonic asked.

"You mean you came here without a plan?" Balrog said. Sonic put his hand behind his head and smiled, "Well, yeah..."

"Do we girls have to do everything?" Star pulled out a small box and threw it onto the ground, a big puff of smoke covered the ground and reviled a big box that said on the side, equipment. Star and Balrog walked up to the box and opened it. They pulled out various guns and equipment. "Robotnik won't know what hit him!" She said loading a rifle.

Sonic and Tails eyes went wide. "Wow, nice arsenal." Sonic pointed out.

"Thanks."

"Well let's go and make our selves known." The gang ran up to the front entrance, Balrog pulled out a grenade from his pocket and pulled the pin. Star opened the door slightly and Balrog threw the grenade in, it exploded and the front doors blasted off, the gang entered. Star and Balrog reached behind them and pulled a MP5 from behind their back and started shooting every robot in sight, destroying them.

"We'll hold them off here, you guys go look for Robotnik!" Balrog ordered

"Come on Tails, this way."

The duo exited the main room and entered a long hall way. They ran through the long hall smashing up robots that tried to block their path, "In here."

The duo were now in a big dome room. They looked up. "Hey you guys help us! "Knuckles shouted. Draco eyed Knuckles. "You guys watch out, Robotnik has some new creations be careful."

"Don't worry about us we can handle our selves." Sonic shouted.

"Glad you could make it, ready to die?" Robotnik said.

"You're the one who's going to die!" Tails charged at Robotnik ready to kill him. Then a robot that looked like Sonic appeared out of thin air in front of him. Tails came to a halt, standing in front of the Robot. "That looks like me?" The robot jumped up and kicked Tails in the head sending him flying back into Sonics arms. "You will pay for that you scum bag!" Tails spun into a ball and started spinning at sonic speed. Then for some reason he came out of his attack and dropped to the floor.

"Tails what's wrong?"

"I'm not Tails, why does every keep calling me that!" Tails held his head in pain once again, Sonic did the same. The two robots began there attack on the defenseless heroes.

Balrog and Star entered seeing the duo getting pummeled by the two Robots. "You guys! I'm coming!" Star ran towards the duo only to be pulled back by Balrog.

"You wouldn't stand a chance this is something only Sonic and Tails can handle." The two wolfs stood and watched in horror as the duo got thrown around, kicked and punched. The two robots picked up the duo and throw them into each other. The duo landed next to each other bruised, bashed and bleeding. "Ugh... we can't win like this."

"I hear you Tails but ---"

"Dammit, stop calling me Tails, I'm Sonic! Accept that." Sonic looked speechless. "I'm Tails ..." Sonic stood up and starred at the two robots. "I am Tails!" He shouted. The duo then began to give off a blue glow, a blinding light covered the duo.

Robotnik ordered the Robots to attack. The two robots entered the ball of light where the duo were. You could hear the crunching of metal. The two robots flew out of the light and smacked against the wall. The light began to disappear and there stood one person. "They merged!" Robotnik had a look of fear in his eyes.

"You can call me Sonti…"

The two robots got back up and started attacking once again but despite all there attacks, Sonti wasn't even bothered by them. Robotnik started to get stressed and tried to escape but Balrog and Star shot at Robotnik. "You stay right where you are!" Balrog shouted.

The robots broke away and began to fuse together. They charged at Sonti. The robot was about to make contact but Sonti disappeared and reappeared behind the robot. He reached in side the robot and ripped out loads of circuits and various other parts. The robot fell the ground and fazed out.

Sonti looked over at Robotnik who was... Well, shiting him self. "And now for you."

"Wait Sonic -- Tails ... Ummm who ever you are, you can't just kill him!" Star shouted. He looked back. "He has killed many people and deserves to die."

"Yes, but—" While they were arguing Robotnik had escaped into a pod and the self destruct button had been activated. A voice could be heard through the complex. "5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 – 0" Everything started to blow up. Sonti and everyone else were still inside, Sonti looked around and everything was in slow motion he saw flames coming towards him from the explosion. He reacted and jumped towards the wolfs who were moving really slow. He grabbed them and jumped out of a nearby window and was free falling down the cliff with Balrog and Star in each arm. He landed on the bottom and dropped them he then looked up to see a giant robot stating on top of the cliff.

"Get out of here." He waved for them to leave, They nodded. The giant robot leaped off the cliff and headed straight for Sonti who was stood there with his eyes closed. "This is the end…" He jumped up to meet the robot a aura with a green glow surrounded him as he made contact with the falling robot. Sonti got sent back, hitting the ground hard then the robot landed on top of him adding to the pain. The wolfs looked back and saw he had been crushed.

"No! Sonic, Tails!" Star dropped to her knees.

"Don't worry he'll be ok." She looked up at him with hope in her eyes.

Robotnik was sat inside the control center of his robot. "That was just to easy!" He chuckled. The robot then began to move and Sonti came flying out and landed infront of Robotnik.

"Ugh…" He was badly bruised and cut and it seemed his left arm had been broken. "I have to admit, you took me by surprise there it wont happen again." Without warning The robot swung for Sonti but he jumped out of the way onto a boulder. It swung again and again but Sonti was leaping from boulder to boulder dodgeing.

"This is fun! Why didn't I use this robot sooner!" He laughed. As Sonti leaped for another boulder Robotnik blew it up and was open for an attack. He swatted him against a cliff wall and pinned him. He was groaning with pain as Robotnik was crushing him. "This is the end, I finally won! Ho-ho-ho!"

Sonti started to think what would happen if he was gone, Robotnik would take over mobius and enslave every last animal he could find. "I can't let that happen…" A black aura surround him and the robotic hand got forced back.

"Still have some gas left? I'm impressed. Take this!" The robot swung its hand but Sonti caught it and broke it in two. "Uh, oh… Time to retreat." The robot powered up and shot off but Sonti followed he plowed through the robot making it explode and Robotnik fell to the ground and stood in front of the furious Hedgehog. "Listen I can explain… I only wanted to make this a better world, really!"

Sonti spun into a ball and plowed right through Robotniks big belly. He stopped and turned and a hole had been carved through the once fat Robotnik. "Looks like an improvement to me, you seem thinner." He smirked.

Everyone came running and as they got there a flash of light covered Sonti, the gang moved away. A few seconds passed and Sonic and Tails got thrown out of the blue light and landed on the ground. "Ugh..." Sonic Looked around and noticed something really cool, "I'm back in my own body!" Tails was happy to.

"You guys really kicked Robotniks butt!" Balrog said.

"I don't remember a thing." Tails looked disappointed.

"Ah well, we can get back to our normal lives now, we have nothing to fear!"

"Ok I'll see you guys later!" The two wolves ran off into the distance.

Just then Knuckles and Draco approached and were pitch black and steaming.

"What happened to you guys?" Sonic asked, now in his own body.

"What do you mean what happened to us!?" Knuckles stormed. "You left us in that base when it blew up!" Just then Tails and Sonic started laughing.

"Oh yeah, sorry. The new colour kind of suits you!" Knuckles chased Sonic away and Tails followed.

"Wait for me!"

Draco was left there alone and saw Robotnuk lying there. "They actually did it… Now they killed someone will they do it again?" With those thoughts left behind he followed Tails.
