They entered the building and waited in the shadows.
"Ok, there are a few enemy sentry robots over there and some over there, instead of doing all this reckless fighting, it may be smarter to simply sneak up to find Eggman", Snake said.
"Fine, have it your way", Sonic said, a bit annoyed.
"Come on Sonic, if we wanna stop Eggman, we gotta be sure to do it right and not too reckless", Tails said.
"But is always worked before", Sonic said.
"Always?" Tails asked.
"Well almost always", Sonic said.
The snuck over and entered the vent, Snake went first, then Sonic, then Tails, then Raiden, and finally Charmy.
As they crawled through the fence, Raiden tried closing his eyes and looking away.
Charmy could see what he was doing.
"What's wrong?" Charmy asked.
"Why can't these mobian guys where pants? That was I don't have to see Tails' butt against my will", Raiden said.
Tails stopped and glared at Raiden.
"What?" Raiden asked.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about parts of my body, especially that part, it's a private area", Tails said.
"If it's so private then wear pants", Raiden said.
"If he did that then I can't see his sweet ass", Charmy said, trying to keep it to himself but the echoes didn't help.
"What did he say?" Raiden asked.
Snake and Sonic stopped in their tracks.
"Is Charmy attracted to Tails?" Sonic asked.
"This is gonna be weird", Snake said.
Tails lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Wow Tails, how does it feel to have a boy admirer?" Sonic asked.
"He's not an admirer, he's my boyfriend", Tails said.
"No Way!" Sonic shouted.
"Shh, we don't want Eggman's robots to know we're here", Snake said.
"It doesn't matter, Knuckles is destroying them", Charmy said.
"Say what?" Sonic asked.
They looked at a view-spot in the vent and saw Knuckles pummeling the robots alongside Silver and Blaze.
"Wow, Silver and Blaze are here too", Sonic said.
Blaze was burning the robots while Silver was using his telekinetic abilities.
"Wow, that cat has fire pyrokenetic abilities, similar to that of the Human Torch", Raiden said.
"That hedgehog has telekinetic abilities, just like Psycho Mantis", Snake said.
Knuckles punched the robot into the vent and the vent collapsed and the group fell out.
"What the hell?" Knuckles asked.
"Sonic? Tails? Charmy?" Silver asked.
"Who are they?" Blaze asked, referring to Snake and Raiden.
"Solid Snake and Raiden, I met Snake in Brawl, Raiden's his partner", Sonic said.
"I'm Blaze, and that's Silver, as you see I have fire powers", Blaze said.
"I have telekinetic powers, have you ever seen a PSI person before?" Silver asked.
"Yeah, I killed a guy like that once, and fought a kid like that in Brawl, his name is Ness", Snake said.
"Oh, well…let's get a move on", Silver said.
More robots came.
"So much for sneaking in", Snake said.
Raiden grabbed his katana and ran in and sliced a robot in half.
A robot shot at Raiden but he jumped and then stabbed the robot and removed the sword and slashed his back.
Another robot came but Raiden slashed its head off.
Then another came and shot but jumped into the air and then sliced the robot in half.
He then grabbed a gun and shot down the last robot.
"How the hell did he do that?" Knuckles asked.
"He trains hard, he's basically a ninja", Snake said.
"Just like…", Charmy said, but stopped before he said Espio, being reminded of being kicked out of Chaotix.
"Don't worry about them, let's just go and find Eggman", Tails said.
"The room should be up ahead", Knuckles said.
They ran up and entered the room where Eggman was.
"He should be around here", Knuckles said.
"Wait, how did you three even get here though?" Sonic asked.
"We heard about the Metal Gear, so Silver and I came, and along the way we saw Knuckles heading for him, he said Eggman stole the Master Emerald", Blaze said.
"You let Eggman steal the Master Emerald Knuckles?" Sonic asked.
"Shut the hell up Sonic", Knuckles said.
A giant machine appeared in front of the group.
"Hello Sonic, hello Snake", Eggman said.
"Hey what about us?" Charmy asked.
"Quiet you little pest, I'm still mad at you and your friends for that chao thing", Eggman said.
Charmy growled at that remark.
"You're going down Eggman", Raiden said.
"I don't think so pretty boy", Eggman said.
"Don't call me that", Raiden said.
"True, when I'm done with you, you won't be pretty no more", Eggman said.
"Bring it on Eggman, Snake and I have taken down Metal Gears before and Sonic always kicks your ass", Raiden said.
"Can you take down a Metal Gear powered by the Master Emerald?" Eggman said, showing off the emerald.
"Oh shit", Knuckles said.
"Is that thing strong?" Snake asked.
"Very strong", Knuckles said.
"Then we're gonna have a problem", Snake said.
The group started down Eggman's Metal Gear.
