Chapter 6: Dead Data
"Alright," Zenith said. "We're in."
"Strange," Sonic began. "This doesn't look like Eggman's base at all."
"Quiet," Shadow urged. "Someone's coming."
Both Zenith and Silver rose to the air, each picking up Sonic and Shadow respectively. The robot patrolled the hallway. Incidentally, the android looked up and saw the hedgehogs. It immediately sounded an alarm. "Warning! War-!" Zenith had zipped down to the robot and ended his commission with an electrical pulse to its neck. The robot fell over, circuits fried.
Sonic landed, having been held up by Silver. "That is not one of Eggman's robots."
Zenith said nothing.
Shadow sensed something. "You know something about this, don't you?"
"He's…supposed to be dead…" Zenith said glumly.
"Who?" Silver asked. "Who's supposed to be dead?"

"Where the hell is Cyeta!?" Beta yelled angrily. "Sentrix, have you found anything on her?"
"Negative," the Sentrix replied. "Still searching."
"Have you found anything else?"
"Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, and Zenith Theta the Hedgehog have entered."
"What!? What happened to Team Kira!?"
"Mind control devices were destroyed. Team Kira incapacitated. Estimated time of recovery: two minutes, forty-seven seconds, and twenty-three milliseconds."
"Emotional state?" Beta asked.
"This unit believes the correct terminology is 'pissed-off'," the android stated matter-of-factly.
Beta became slightly frightened. "Set two-hundred Sentrix to protect all the entrances to the main ship. Ignore others. Send fifty scouts to search for Cyeta Zhartma. The rest are to take care of Team Kyuusai and their girlfriends. Initiate now."
"Orders taken. Preparing now."

Cyeta swung her sword around skillfully, trying to decapitate her blind opponent. Iota dodged her sword skillfully, attempting to avoid decapitation from her sighted opponent, which as one might guess, was extremely difficult. She needed to end this-fast.
"Your head would make a nice centerpiece," Cyeta taunted.
"And your face would make a nice tile," Iota replied. A blast of ernegio (ER nee oh) sent Cyeta falling forwards, flat on her face. Iota took the opportunity to relieve Cyeta of her sword. She tossed it across the room, unconsciously embedding it into the wall. Cyeta quickly rose and ran straight for the sword, ignoring one of the most basic rules of battle.
Never turn your back on an enemy.
Iota shot Cyeta in her back with her ernegio, sending the silver-haired female flying across the room, into the embedded sword, knocking the wind out of her and rendering her unconscious.
