Chapter 5: Warning: Sentrix Testing In Session

Zenith dodged a jab from the Dark Master's dark dagger, and fired a bolt at the same time. "I know brothers fight, but come on!"

"What-uh!-confuses me-guh!-," Shadow said between blows. "is why-whoa!-our enemies-yah!-are working toge-kuh!-ther!"

"Mind control," Silver said off-handedly, right after being backhanded by the crystalline semi-god.

"That makes sense," Sonic said, dodging several sharp talons from Neo Metal Sonic.

Zenith knew what to do; he needed no second bidding. He rose to the air and produced a four-pronged bolt of electricity. The lighting hit their enemies dead-on, causing their adversaries to recoil and fall over.

"Now's your chance!" Zenith called to his friends.

Neo Metal Sonic's display had been put out of commission by Zenith's bolt, rendering him useless to stand against Sonic's spin dash. Black Doom had been dizzied by blast, which took away his reaction time; a Chaos Spear hit him, courtesy of his biological son. Mephiles had no idea where he was and, therefore did not see Silver behind him, preparing to swing him up, around and down to the hard metal floor. Epsilon did not even have a chance to react, as Zenith came down quickly on his head.

"No time to waste everyone!" Shadow said. "Gather around!" Everyone stood close to Shadow. "Chaos Control!" They vanished in a flash of green light.

Rouge stopped in her tracks. Her ears flickered. "Did you hear that?"

Blaze turned around. "Hear what?"

"Something like metal tapping on metal," Rouge answered.

"I didn't hear it," Amy responded. A moment to soon, a thump crossed Amy's ears. Rouge dove onto her, followed by several gunshots.

"Move! Guards!" Blaze yelled urgently.

The Sentrix, as they were called, were the most elite androids the group had ever seen. Unlike Eggman's E-series or even G.U.N's mech's, these robots carried the most advanced A.I system of their time. Able to perform coherent thought and communicate with fellow Sentrix, these androids posed a formidable threat. Their color scheme was of silver, gray, and purple. Another fact that they noticed was that the robots carried their weaponry-it wasn't built in.

"Resistance will lead to certain death," a Sentrix said in a deep, monotone voice. As he spoke, more Sentrixes appeared around them, carrying machine guns, swords, shuriken, and other weapons and artillery. The Sentrix continued. "If you surrender now, your lives will be spared. If you resist-". Several guns around them cocked and pointed in their direction, including his. "-You will die."

A pyrokinetic blast from Blaze provided their answer. The android leaned to the right to avoid it. The Sentrix's gun spoke for him as well. Amy swung her hammer at him. A metallic hand from behind grabbed the handle. Amy was pulled around and looked straight into the cold eyes of a Sentrix, completely unarmed. The hammer was snatched from her hands and snapped it in two. The Sentrix punched Amy hard, enough to send her across the room. "Amy Rose incapacitated," the android said. "Orders are to capture and restrain."
