I do not own any Sonic Character's, but the one's I have invented myself are mine.

Chapter 15

Miles 'Tails' Prower, scientific genius with golden fur and two tails, stared out through the glass pane of their new and more advantageous base. There was no construction site near it, in fact there was not even a single building near it. All it was is a base near a canyon. Their old base had to be evacuated and destroyed, especially when that everyone now knew of that one.

The fox now knew what they meant by a 'moving base'. He did not literately create this, but he designed it. This base was capable of flying, driving, and even sailing. This of course did not matter at the moment. He watched as his robots pulled a cell in, the metallic beings seemed rattled.

He turned and swiftly descended stairs to intercept them. The doors flung opened and a screaming girl could be heard, but for an odd reason this girl was not afraid. She seemed angry. "OI! You lousy oufs! LEEME OUT!"

Tails watched as they set the cage down "Who do you have?"

The robots only shrugged and turned the cage around. A brown raccoon tried to rattle the bars, pulling them back and forth harshly. Her eyes were shut tight and she gritted her teeth menacingly. She wore a green shirt, black pants that only reached her calves, pale yellow gloves that almost reach her elbows, two strange ponytails that curve upward around the middle, and green shoes. Tails blinked looking a bit bewildered "Why are you trying to do? Rip the bars out?"

The raccoon stopped to look and stared at him in shock "Blimy, I didn' kno' they could make them gold talk."

Tails stiffened "Gold talk? Gold talk?! What the heck do you mean by that?!"

She only leaned against the side "Is THIS what all them screw bots all freaked abou'? Some cursed talking gold? Aren't you talkn' gold?"

"NO!"

"Oh… Why the golden pelt?"

"Pelt?" Tails stepped forward and jabbed a thumb at himself "This is my natural color!"

Her eyes widened "Really?" She bounced to the bars and took a hold of them enthusiastically "You an' I should work together, mate."

Tails took a step back being more confused than if he had been asked a question that had no answer. He crossed his arms, not out of spite, but he seemed to feel a bit queasy about this certain individual. He cocked a brow trying to keep his posture "What do you mean?"

The raccoon jumped up and down, not letting go of the bars "We can sell yer flashy and beautiful fur for a bountiful wage. I've never seen a pelage made o' gold that before."

The fox was exasperated as he nearly fell over in shock "My fur isn't gold! IT just has the same color as the metal! You wouldn't even get a penny for it."

The raccoon only looked surprised herself before stepping back, crossing her arms, and speaking to the side, as if trying to whisper "Maybe if I skin em I could sell it as a coat."

"I HEARD THAT!"

She did not seem to care "Do ya reckon I could get some grub?"

Tails slapped his forehead, slamming his eyes shut. What is the matter with her "I do NOT permit strangers to eat in MY base."

"Oi, strangers are we?" She shoved a finger at herself, one hand on her hip, and her eyes closed in a confident manner "I am Captin' Marine from Southern Island and leader of the Coconut Crew."

Tails only stared at her with his mouth opened "You say that like I should know you."

The 'Captain of the Coconut Crew' crossed her arms indignantly "Why everyone 'as erd of Captin' Marine and her famous adventures."

Tails sighed "Does it help if I said I was from out of town?"

"NO!"

The fox rested his head on his fingers and closed his eyes. This situation was annoying him. "I grow bored of this! Take her away!"

The robots snatched up the cage and began to carry her off. Marine yelped at the sudden lurch and screamed out "OI! LET ME GO YA LUMP OF GADGETS!"

Tails shook his head ""Lump of gadgets"? What kind of insult is-?"

"Sir."

Happy to turn away from the screaming raccoon the fox faced Alpha One "Yes?"

Alpha One's eyes gleamed "I have a idea for your side project."

The fox smiled "Tell me."

Ralph and Anonymous stared at the screen with the first riddle on it. Ralph tapped his foot and rested his head on his hands whilst his nemesis only crossed his arms and stared up as if he really did not care.

The dog sighed and slowly stood "I cannot guess this riddle. 'The day we flew' part I know is the day they started with the gliding boards but I wasn't around Tails to hear any riddles."

"Glass."

"What?"

"The answer is 'glass'."

"How do you know?"

"You already know the answer to that question."

Ralph stared at the terrorist leader "…Stalker."

"I am not a obsessive disturbed individual."

"Sure. Keep telling yourself that."

Sonic came hopping in "Got anything."

Ralph turned to him "Glass."

Sonic froze "You got glass?"

Anonymous did not even turn to the hedgehog "He is trying to shame me."

"Huh?"

Anonymous turned to Sonic "The answer is glass."

The hero waved his arms around "Speak that with some less enthusiasm please. We need everyone depressed."

"Entail sarcasm more wisely. If I wish to be melodramatic then I will."

Sonic flung his arms at the man "What's his problem?"

Ralph faced the hedgehog "Drama that isn't mellow."

Anonymous seemingly ignored them and waved Sonic over "Here, I shall prove my answer." Sonic sighed but nevertheless stood next to the man "Sonic, you told Tails a joke related to candy and the ceiling."

"How do you know th-!?"

"Before that you gave him a riddle. Correct."

Sonic stepped away from the man "…Yes."

"What was its answer?"

"It was…" Sonic's eyes flashed open "Even if you were there how do you remember that?"

Ralph cocked his head "What?"

Anonymous turned to Sonic "The brain will forget what it regards as irrelevant."

Sonic's mouth dropped and his eyes widened. This clearly offended him "You think I find spending time with Tails IRRELEVANT!"

Anonymous only stared back "I never said that. I only said the brain discards the memory of things it regards as irrelevant. Telling someone a riddle. That is irrelevant. A riddle is only good for a one time purpose. Besides, if it were completely irrelevant to you, why do you remember it now?"

Sonic shoved a finger at him only to pause and back up. "Okay. I see."

Ralph threw his arms up "EXCUSE ME!" Sonic spun to face him "Thank you? What riddle."

"On the day I told Tails two jokes, one on candy and the other a roof, I told him a riddle that he solved right off the bat… the answer was glass."

Ralph tapped his head "… Stalker."

Anonymous walked past him "If you need me I'll come. I'll be with my men to have a talk with the misbehaviors."

Ralph scoffed "He'll come to us when we need him."

Sonic watched him leave and pointed at where he left to "Sorry to admit it Ralph, but even though he's a villain… he's pretty awesome."

Ralph rubbed his forehead "He has his moments."

Sonic smirked "How many moments."

Ralph paused "… I can't count that high, okay!"

The hero laughed "Come on. They're waiting for us outside."

Ralph turned to the screen and swiftly typed in the answer to the riddle. After a black screen the screen flashed "Correct" before landing back onto the strange code riddle. Ralph turned and ran out.

Eggman looked up at them as they exited "Ah, there you are."

Sonic pointed out into the forest "Isn't Anonymous cool?"

"Err. He left?"

Ralph slouched "Don't tell me you guys didn't see him."

Blaze blinked, Shadow remained blank, Eggman, Sally, and Silver were confused, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream were looking out into the forest, Rouge only stared back at Ralph, the four ex-agents only sighed in annoyance, and the robots only continued gazing at Eggman. Sonic turned to Ralph "Does this count as one of his moments?"

"I'm not going to start counting, Sonic!"

Eggman looked at the forest then back at the two "Oh, well then. Besides this strange event. I called you out because Shadow has come back as our scout."

The dark hedgehog nodded "They are setting up more cells inside the castle and are placing people in them."

Rouge crossed her arms "This sounds like a trap."

Blaze stormed up to her and taped her harshly "Those are MY people, BAT! We're saving them!"

Rouge raised her arms "Fine."

Eggman walked over to his carrier and leaned on it "Now as agreed those fighting will go on and those staying will remain here to search for clues."

Blaze growled in disagreement. Amy, Sally, Cream, and Cheese walked over to Eggman. The doctor smiled and waved them in "I will remain with them since I have no way of fighting. We will remain in contact though. Now Blaze that leaves Sonic, Metal, Omega, Rouge, Knuckles, Shadow, Ralph, Lee, Nike, Deen, and Alber with you. All the fighters. Aren't you glad you go the power lifters?"

Blaze looked at Eggman funny "Power lifters?"

"I mean the ones that have the biggest impact against the enemy. The best of them all would be Ralph, Shadow, and Sonic."

Blaze shrugged "I would prefer if you came along. You're the one with the high intellect. It can match Tails'."

Eggman stepped back "No-no-no-no-no! The fox is much smarter than me. Besides, I just said we will stay in radio contact. Here." Eggman pulled out a box and gave a device to everyone "Put it in your ear. It's a com-link. Think of it as a small phone placed in your ear. You can go anywhere on this planet and stay in contact with me or anyone else with it."

Blaze nodded and placed her's in her ear "Let's go!" The cat fired off.

Sonic and Shadow zoomed after her. Silver scratched his head "I geuss I'd have to carry you guys."

Metal pointed at Ralph "Not him though. Why are you still here."

Ralph looked at his old team "Well… I havn't seen them in a long time and I was wondering if they wanted to catch up."

Silver sighed "Fine. Alright hold on." The grey hedgehog lifted everyone up and blasted off after the trio ahead of them.

Blaze halted right outside the forest boundaries to look over her castle. No sign of robots, not even 4.0s. Sonic and Shadow skidded to a halt right beside her "Beat ya!" Sonic whispered.

Shadow glared at him "That wasn't a race."

"Not to you maybe."

"SHH!" The cat violently spat. She turned her attention back to her old castle "Why aren't there any guards this time?"

Shadow stepped up behind her "There was a few minutes ago."

Blaze began to scoot back "Could they be invisible?"

"Maybe." The three turned to see Ralph and the others being lowered by Silver. Ralph stepped up and looked over the grounds "I can go invisible. So can my friends. We can sneek by and see if there are any bots."

Deen looked at the other three and then at Ralph "Friends?"

"Well, we aren't a team anymore so… yah."

Deen nodded "Okay. I'm in."

"Sure." Lee put a thumbs up.

"Fine." Alber crossed her arms.

Nike shrugged "Better than waiting for robots to appear. How do we know they won't spot us first."

Ralph placed his hands on his hips "We don't." He giggled and right before their eyes he disappeared.

Deen shivered "I hate it when he does that."

"I missed his old charm." Lee pretended to sniff and flick a tear.

The four pressed a button on their armor and faded away as well.

Minutes passed by and the group watched the castle. So far there was no sign of the invisible ex-agents. Sonic began to tap his foot "I hate reconnaissance missions."

Omega looked at him "This does not qualify as a reconnaissance mission. This is a rescue."

"Then what's with all the waiting?"

"Shh!" Rouge placed a finger on her lips.

"Oh, pardon me for disturbing the plants' rest."

"Quite!" Blaze hissed.

Silver smiled and whispered to Sonic "Very cat like huh?" Sonic's reply was a shrug. Silver turned to see an angered Blaze looking at him "What? I was quite."

Knuckles groaned "So immature."

"This is almost like having Ralph around in Team Dark." Shadow remarked.

"I thought we had great times together." Shadow swiftly looked back and Ralph waved at them to follow "Looks clear, but keep your wits about you."

The group hurried alongside the castle walls and ran inside. Shadow lookeda round in shock "Where are the prisoners? They were here.

Lee walked out of a room "No one here."

Deen slid down a rope "Nothing up stairs."

Nike and Alber walked out of the far end of the room "Nike and I didn't see anything here."

Ralph turned to Shadow "You sure you saw them."

Shadow blinked "Yes!"

"They left." The group spun round. Anonymous walked in "The robots received orders and took them off into another direction."

Silver pointed at him "Where?"

"My men do not know the signal to Tails' communication lines. We do not know where. One of my men is following them as we speak however. His last transition told me they are heading to the ocean."

Sonic looked at him with a smile "Does that mean you'll be coming with us?" Anonymous nodded. The blue hedgehog jumped in the air along with Silver "YAH!"

The only ones that seemed bothered by this were Shadow, Ralph, and Blaze.

"Anything?" Eggman called out.

Sally closed a cupboard "Nothing!"

Amy, Cream, and Cheese sat in a circle in the old living room. Amy looked back at the two working before turning back to Cream "I can't believe they are still trying to look for things to help Tails. Don't they realize that fox is just pure evil?"

Cream lifted a rock and bounced it off the floor "I doubt he's pure evil. Why would he act so kind then?"

Amy looked at the rabbit "The best evil masterminds act nice. Don't you know that?"

"Eggman wasn't at first."

"Well, clearly he's not the best."

Cream looked down and drew circles with her finger "I guess."

Cheese flew up and grabbed Cream's head "Chao, chao!"

Cream smiled and looked up toward the little chao "Okay Cheese. We'll play a game. Want to play Amy?"

Amy crossed her arms but relaxed "Sure. Better than waiting here bored out of my mind."

Cream jumped up "Let's play tag."

Amy stood "Fine, but stay out of Sally and Eggman's way. I don't want to be yelled at again."

Cream leapt up "YAY!" She then nearly tackled the pink hedgehog "TAG!"

Amy stumbled back "Hey!" Cream and Cheese laughed while running from her. Amy smiled and ran after them "Get back here you cheater."

Anonymous climbed back onto the ledge along with one of his men. Sonic and the rest leaned in. The terrorist leader whispered to them "They have them all in cages down there. There are not many robots, but from what my friend here says is true then they are about to move them out into the ocean to one of the outer islands.

Blaze crouched over "Which ones. I know my world the best here."

"They did not specify."

Ralph stood and looked over the ledge "Only three robots. Let's go before more come."

Anonymous looked at him "I don't believe you were ever impatient before."

"I scanned the surroundings. There are no robots around except for those three. Sonic, Shadow you two take that one. Blaze, Omega, Metal Sonic take that one. I'll take the farthest one. Destroy them before they can contact help."

Silver stood "What about me?"

"Save your strength. We need you to carry the cages if we cannot open them. Rouge, you're good at breaking into things. See if you can open those cages. Alber, Deen, Nike, Leech. Stay here as look outs."

"Stop calling me that." Lee replied.

Ralph turned to his nemesis "Anonymous… Stop smiling."

Anonymous stared blankly at Ralph "You should know I do not engage my facial muscles in that form of exercise."

"Wow, you can even make a smile sound boring. What can you not do?"

Blaze grabbed the dog and pulled him to face her "I'm in charge! I command everyone on what to do."

"Okay. Have any better ideas?"

Blaze paused "…Not at the moment."

"We don't have a lot of time."

Blaze groaned "Fine, we do your plan."

Anonymous grabbed his friend's shoulder "We'll stay up here to scout out with your team, Ralph. You five lookouts: each watch a different direction. Look for any form of movement if plausible. I'll send the rest of you out."

Ralph whispered to Blaze "You get on me for taking charge yet you let him do it?"

Silver responded for her "He's not very commanding yet you don't want to disobey him."

Ralph sighed "This is why I don't like talking about him. Everyone keeps on talking about how cool he is. What about me? I'm pretty cool."

Anonymous raised his hand slightly to gain attention "Ready? Go."

Ralph hurled himself over the edge with Sonic, Shadow, Metal, Omega, and Blaze. The invaders charged at the robots which turned just in time to notice them, but before they could do anything they were trampled. Ralph grabbed his enemy and crushed its head causing sparks to fly everywhere. Sonic and Shadow spin dashed it creating a small explosion. Metal rammed theirs, Omega then fired his missiles, and Blaze erupted it in flames leaving the robot scorched and destroyed.

The citizens stood and mumbled to themselves. Princess Blaze was here with strange heroes.

Ralph stood and flung his destroyed foe under him just in time to receive a tap on the shoulder. He turned "Hiya there skipper." It was a brown raccoon "Mind getting me outta this old trash bin?"

"Err… Who're you?"

"I'm Captin Marine from the Coconut Crew."

Blaze walked up "The Coconut Crew? Those strange kids that go around doing dim-witted adventures?"

Marine began jumping up and down pointing a finger at the cat "OI, WHO YA CALLIN' KIDS!"

Ralph reached a hand in "Well nice to meet you captain."

Mareine took it "Well aren't ya more of a friendly fish. Might I ask what yer name is?"

"I'm Colonel Ralph."

Marine's eyes opened in awe "Is Colonel higher than captin'."

"What kind of captain?"

"Sea."

"You mean navy? No. Naval captain and Marines Colonel are actually the same rank."

Marine slapped Ralph's hand "That explains the fancy armor matey. Nice ta meat an equal now and then."

"Er… thanks."

"Mind getten' me out?"

"Sure." Ralph grabbed the bars and pulled. Slowly the bars bent and soon the little raccoon squeezed through.

"Thanks, cobber."

"Welcome, captain."

The raccoon soon ran off. Blaze came up and pointed at Ralph "Don't tell me you're letting her play the false roll of captain!"

"She's a little girl. Let her have her fun."

Blaze rolled her eyes "I get reports from that group nearly every month about their crazy adventures on South Island. I don't want her running around trying to be the boss of everyone."

"And what are you doing?"

Blaze glared at him "I am not trying to be a control freak. I am the princess here and I am the rightful ruler of this world. It's my job to govern these people and protect the sol emeralds. So DON'T give me that!"

Ralph walked past her "Yes, your highness."

Rouge opened up the last cage and pulled out the last kid "Everyone's out now."

Ralph marched forward "Good. Let's get moving before-."

"RALPH BEHIND YOU!" Alber was heard on the hill top.

"Ehh?" Ralph turned.

A battle spaceship was gliding over the water and toward them. Blaze turned to her people "RUN!"

The entire captured group screamed and ran off. Ralph turned to Sonic "You guys take the civilians out of here! No, don't tell me! Those robots might be listening! JUST GO! I'll hold them off."

Sonic grabbed a man "You sure?"

Ralph chuckled while he walked down the beach cracking his knuckles "I got the armor."

Sonic smiled sheepishly "Okay. YOU HEARD HIM! GET GOING SHADOW!"

Shadow picked up a child "I am!"

"I know, I just want to boss you around."

"Just run hedgehog."

"Metal, Silver, Shadow, actually anyone who can keep up with me! Follow me to a safe area!" Sonic blasted off and the speedsters followed. Knuckles and Rouge were helping the civilians up along with Anonymous, Lee, Nike, Deen, and Alber.

Robots flew out of the ship and landed on shore. Ralph pounced crashing the bots down and tearing them apart. His armor proved too strong for any enemy.

Sonic, Blaze, Shadow, and the others who ran off with him came back to grab more people and run off.

Ralph grabbed one last robot and head bashed it. He jumped up and down on his toes "Who's next? I can go all day."

"Yes. You could." Ralph turned only to receive a fist to his face. The dog flew off the ground and crashed into a protruding rock shattering it. Alpha One stepped forth "I was wondering what was taking so long? This trap wasn't too hard to follow dog."

Ralph hopped up onto his feet "Sonic ain't here now. Why don't you just wait and he'll-."

"I have no interest in him. You are my target."

Ralph froze "Oh poop."

Alpha One crashed his fist into his other palm "They can all go, but you will not be leaving here alive."

Amy and Cream stormed through the Carrier almost shoving Eggman onto the floor. The doctor stumbled back before yelling after them "WATCH IT!... errrr. Clumsy girls." He walked into the room Sally was searching "Anything?"

The chipmunk looked at him and shook her head "I can't find any more clues."

Eggman massaged his forehead "He must have left a clue here somewhere. He would not just give us riddles without giving us a hint as to solve them."

Sally stood and whipped her hands on her legs "Don't give up. There's still a chance."

Eggman watched her leave "I wasn't giving up, I's just getting frustrated."

Cream ran up ontop of the flipped couch "You will never catch me pink hedgehog of drankanis."

Amy skidded below her "Oh watch me Princess Cream of Althiar."

Cream pointed at Amy with a smile "Get her Knight Cheese."

The chao came up with a knitted knight helmet on "Chao, chao!"

Amy took a step back with a fake face of worry "Oh, no. Not Cheese the Knight. I defeated him."

The chao dove down and attempted to tackle Amy. The hedgehog took the blow and allowed herself to fall down to the ground.

Cream hopped off and stood over Amy "I've won hedgehog. You're tyranny ends here."

Amy looked up at the rabbit "Do you even know what tyranny is?"

Cream placed a thoughtful finger on her chin and looked away "Doesn't it mean evil?"

Amy shrugged "Yah. Pretty much."

Cream then dove dowon on Amy and began to tickle her ferociously. Amy twisted and turned laughing and soon the rolled up and hit the couch. A cushion fell down on top of Amy's hand "OW!"

Cream jumped off "Oh! Miss Amy. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-."

Amy shook it off "No. It wasn't you. Something fell on my hand." The hedgehog pulled out the cushion "Huh? Why did that hurt?"

Cream gasped and pointed "Look at the back!"

Amy turned it around and nearly shouted "Designs for repairing Seven?!"

Plastered on the end of the cushion were framed blue prints of Seven. This must be the couch Ralph slept on otherwise someone would have felt it. Explains why Tails told Ralph to sleep there. The hard frame is what struck Amy's hand.

Cream grabbed it "This must be one of the clues Tails was hiding around here." Cream looked over at the door Eggman and Sally were behind "We should tell them."

Amy jerked it back "Are you nuts? Tell them?" Amy quickly stood and ran outside. Cream and Cheese went off after her. The hedgehog skidded on the dirt and faced the two "If we give this to them then they will continue to try and find more. How am I going to be with my Sonic again if we can't go out to get him."

"B-but this could be important. If Tails did make a code then Seven would know it. He could solve that strange riddle."

Amy dropped the cushion on the ground, picked up a rounded metal shard, and began to dig. Cream took a step back "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to bury this thing so Eggman and Sally can't find it. The more clues they can't find the faster I get to be with Sonic again. They'll just give up and we'll go in search for Sonic." Amy stopped to look up at the sky dreamily. She turned back to her work and began to dig faster "But first, get rid of this thing." The hedgehog then grabbed the cushion and flung it in the hole "There. Now cover it." She pushed the dirt in and wiped the rest away. She looked at Cream "Don't tell Eggman or Sally. We need to get out of here. I'm tired of this 'Tails is actually a good guy' excuse. Pff. They need to open their eyes." She stalked off.

Cream followed before pausing to look back at where the clue was buried. Was leaving it there the right thing?

Ralph got into a fighting stance "All right. I'm ready."

Alpha One opened his chest to reveal it was empty and then closed it "To prove I have no sol or chaos emeralds."

"Why does it feel like I was just flashed?"

Alpha One ignored him "We will fight to prove who's the greatest creation Tails has ever made."

"Jealous much?"

"RALPH!"

Both Ralph and Alpha One turned to see Alber, Lee, Nike, Deen, and Anonymous running at them. Alpha One looked at his enemy "Tell them off or I will send my intire invasion on Sonic, them, and all those civilians."

Ralph ran at them. He held out his hands as they reached them "Go!."

Alber froze "What?"

"I said go! He'll attack everyone if I don't fight him."

"But-."

"That's a command!"

Lee interjected "You're not our commander anymore."

Ralph looked at Anonymous "Please."

Anonymous looked at Alpha One "Is it a fare fight?"

"Yes."

"Then beat him. Come on. We'll wait for him on the top of the hill." Anonymous turned and ran off. The rest of the team watched him go. They looked at their ex-leader and soon by one they ran off.

Ralph sighed and turned to face his opponent "I'm ready."

Alpha One remained standing in a menacing way "Good. Now we fight and see who's the better creation."

Ralph began to walk to the side to encircle the robot "I'm a living being. I am not a creation."

"Irrelevant. You know what I meant."

"Yah, but I felt like giving you a hard time."

"Enough of this." Alpha One charged.

Ralph jumped over him and grabbed his legs. He pulled him back up and slammed him into the ground. Alpha One shot lasers out of his eyes and blasted Ralph back. He then jumped up and rammed the dog causing the ground to shake under them.

Lee clenched his hands together "Come on Ralph. No holding back."

Ralph came running out of the flying dust. He punched Alpha One in the face causing the robot to turn around. Ralph then kicked his in the back of the knee to make Alpha land in a kneeling position and then the dog spun around to kick the robot in the back.

Alpha One flew forward, caught himself in midair, and fired his fist at the dog. Ralph felt himself fly off the ground from the hit but he held on as the fist came flying back. The ex-agent kicked Alpha One and the two were flung away from each other.

Ralph got up and felt a foot pound him in the face. He slid multiple feet on the ground and crashed into another rock. Ralph got up and then shot a grapnel at the robot. Alpha One caught the hand but it latched on and he was pulled. Ralph lifted the gun and flung it down. His enemy was thrown in the air and came crashing back down. Still attatched to it Alpha Omega One was lurched at Ralph and the dog kicked him in the face as the claw let go.

Alpha One was thrown back but not without his own attack. He threw a small device and the ground below Ralph erupted. The dog was flung into the air and found himself grabbed by his enemy. The bot slammed him into the ground and then kicked him away.

The dog twisted himself and landed on his feet. He ran forward just as Alpha One charged. They clashed and the ground shook. Ralph blocked a punch only to elbow the robot, bring his fist up and punch him, and with that fist he grabbed Alpha One's chin and threw him off.

The robot landed and felt the dog on his back twisting his arm into the middle of his back "Guess I'm the best."

The robot began shaking "No! No! I AM HIS GREATEST CREATION! I AM!" Alpha One pulled his arm away causing the dog to be throw off.

Ralph jumped up and threw a fist. The robot threw his own and they connected and there was a blast of energy. Ralph tugged his arm back yelling. He looked down at his arm and was shocked. The entire arm was being ripped, it was completely worthless now.

The dog ran up and jumped up kicking the robot away. Alpha One regained himself and shot his fist. It slammed into the dog's groin and then the fist opened up to grab his leg and yank him back. Alpha One threw his next punch and struck his target. Ralph was flung back and above the water. The robot blasted off and caught him.

He threw him in the air and bashed him up. He went up bashed him down. Met him there and kneed him in the face. He grabbed the dog and smashed him into his own head. Glass shattered and one eye of Ralph's was shown. The dog grabbed each hand that held him trying to breath but his suit was starting to malfunction.

Alpha One towered over him and spoke evilly with an echoed voice "I am the greatest of us both! Now met your watery grave!" The robot lifted his fist and brought it down hard. The shockwave of the hit was so tremendous that the water below them even moved to make a large hole.

Ralph could not help it anymore. His whole world turned dark and he fell unconscious. Alpha One lifted the limp body and simply dropped it into the ocean. The dog splashed down and slowly sank to the bottom and without his life support armor working now he was surly dead.

Alpha One looked down at where his foe was in triumph and up on the shore Alber screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" She charged forward.

Anonymous only stared on as if in shock but in mere seconds he ran after her. His armor being stronger and faster he caught up in a heartbeat and grabbed her. The female kicked and flailed trying to get loose. She had to get Ralph. Ralph could not be dead he was still there.

Anonymous turned to the other three "Go. Now. Before that robot gets back here."

The three did not even budge. The terrorist person who was there grabbed Lee however "Come on! You heard him. We need to go."

"But… Ralph."

"We need to go."

Deen took a step forward "No, no! RALPH! He's the best of us. He can't be beat in a fight. RALPH! This must be one of his tricks."

Seeing he was getting nowhere, Anonymous dropped Alber who got up and began to dash to the ocean, but not in time. The terrorist leader lifted his left arm and immediately press a button on it. Alber, Lee, Nike, and Deen fell down as if unconscious. Anonymous ran to Alber and picked her up "I told you we need to go."

He could hear her fighting inside but the armor no longer obeyed her movements. Instead it fought it. Anonymous heard the muffled cries for Ralph as he ran off with her limp body, picked up Deen, and ordered his man to grabbed the other two and follow him off to their camp before Alpha One got back. The terrorist obeyed and the two ran off with the powerless ex-agents.

Alpha One however remained over the ocean and glared down at the sea as he monitored Ralph's condition. The dog was still breathing still beating, but it was only a matter of time. And just like that… Ralph's vital signs died. Ralph was no longer alive. The robot turned to the shore to see that the people were no longer there. He did not care. He just proved to everyone that their strongest player was nothing compaired to him. HE was Tails' greatest creation and now no one can say other wise. He has beaten Ralph the greatest agent in King Acorns army.

Cream stared at the place where the cushion was buried and spun to look at Cheese "Shh." She raised a finger to her lips "Eggman and Sally must not know about it." The chao nodded and the two ran inside before Eggman or Sally would spot them.
