Chapter 5: Sonic and the doctor
Sonic sat on top of the Emerald Tower, the rain was pouring now. It started raining an hour ago and it was just getting worse, Shadow ran by a couple times trying to get supplies as quickly as possible. Sonic watched as the city moved forward, but the fire the drove him was dying out now.
Eggman walked behind Sonic and said," Sonic why don't you drop this, I'll tell you I lied and you can go on with your life?" A smiled was etched across his face, he was torturing the hedgehog. Sonic looked up at the sky and said," Life won't go on until the bird is gone, if you can help me with that, then will have a one on one battle with the robot you have built for me, I'll grab the emeralds and fight your robot even if it has all seven!"
Eggman smiled excitedly and said," It's a deal Sonic, you will be in quite a shock when you lose to my newest robot!" Eggman walked over to his machine and said," By this time tomorrow the feathered one will be gone from this world, dead or alive." Sonic smiled and took off down the building waiting in anticipation.
Falco was with Amy in the living room, Tails left to build something to help Knuckles, Knuckles left to go for a walk through the rain. Shadow was sleeping in the room farthest from them, Amy said," Wow all of this was caused because of us?"
Falco shook his head and said," No, it wasn't our fault this is happening, it is Eggman's fault he was the one who created this mess, not us." Amy nodded in agreement but couldn't help feel guilty. Falco was reading a book that was called: The Lone Bird. I guess it was a book on birds.
Amy was twirling her hair concerned for more than one reason but the top one, where was Sonic? Falco closed the book and got off of the couch heading towards the door, Amy got up and headed over she asked," Where are you going?" Falco smiled and said," Nowhere just going to have a breather."
Amy didn't believe him but wasn't going to argue with him about it, after he left Amy walked in the room and whacked Shadow in the head with her hammer, Shadow grumbled and stood up he said," What the hell was that for!" Amy replied forcefully," You need to leave, Falco left and I need you to go after him and see what he is doing." Shadow rolled his eyes but was out the door the next minute.
Falco was running to a garage west of the house, he walked in and Fox was there. Fox waved at him to approach, Falco was eager to see the new plane. Shadow snuck into the building and was spying on him, Falco walked up to the covered up ship and Fox nodded in approval to take it off.
Falco removed the covers to reveal a new space craft, the Falco 1. Falco nodded his head and said," Wow its amazing Fox, this is my ship?" Fox nodded and said," I figured it's about time you get your ship." Shadow slipped and ran into the barrels nearby, Fox and Falco took out there blasters and ran over, when they got over they saw Shadow there.
Fox put his gun away and helped him up, Falco said," Why are you hear Shadow?" Shadow wasn't prepared to get caught and wasn't ready for a response he said," Amy bonked me on the head and told me to follow you." Falco thought to himself," He isn't good keeping secrets is he."
Fox and Falco helped him up and walked back to the house, Amy opened the door and saw them she said," What happened to Shadow?" Fox smiled and said," He slipped and fell." Shadow got up ashamed and said," They know you sent me Amy." Amy looked at them and said," Sorry I just wanted to know what was happening,"
Fox said," I was showing Falco his new ship we built him." Amy looked at Falco and said," So you weren't off with someone else?" Falco smiled and said," No I wouldn't do that to you, it was just to see my plane nothing else." Amy was relieved to hear this and went back to sit down with him.
Eggman was on a role, he tricked Sonic into teaming up with him and he would take down two groups in one blow! He said to no one in particular," As soon as DEVASTATOR is complete those heroes won't stand a chance against me and my Eggman empire." He was looking out a window in front of him was a giant robot, on its head were seven slots for the emeralds, now he needed the emeralds and it would be complete.
Sonic ran through the city on his way to the house, he would pop in and take the emeralds, about now everyone would be asleep and he would be able to get them easily, as soon as he was at the door he slowly opened it to make his presence unknown, when he looked over what he saw horrified him, once again the two were in a long kiss. He was boiling inside but calmed down enough to snatch the emeralds he closed the door and was off.
Amy and Falco were now talking and soon fell asleep on the couch, Shadow woke up in the middle of the night and got up, he walked into the living room and saw the two sleeping there, and he could tell by the way they were, they liked each other. He turned around and walked to the door and opened it, he reached behind him to grab an emerald, but there was none.
He turned around and saw the emeralds were no longer there, a long yell of anger ran through the house waking everyone up, Knuckles and Tails ran out of the room were the beds all were and Amy and Falco got up off the couch. Fox walked out of Sonics room, they approached the angry Shadow.
He said with fury," Some rotten bastard stole the Chaos Emeralds, we are not sleeping until they are retrieved, we will go after Eggman since he is the thief most of the time, anyone got a problem with that, then you can go to hell for all I care, now let's go!" At once the others were out the door with Shadow trying to find Eggman.
Eggman was in his base when Sonic ran up with the emeralds, without thinking twice Sonic through them to him and waited for him to continue. Eggman smiled and walked over to a platform, he went to the top of the robot and activated it by pushing the emeralds into the slots, and a force field covered them with plasma energy.
Sonic walked up to Eggman and asked," When are you going to get Falco?" Eggman turned around and said while sitting in the seat on the robots head," there has been a change of plans, instead of wiping out just Falco; I'll wipe all of you out at the same time!" A shield came up and protected Eggman; Sonic is tossed off and hits the ground.
Shadow is at the outskirts of town and had found a giant metal dome, where Eggman should be. Falco and Fox were in their jets as was Tails, Knuckles was on the front Amy was with Shadow. Fox, Falco and Tails fired at the dome creating a huge hole.
When they enter what they see is a shock to all of them, standing there is a giant robot emitting with pure chaos energy, Sonic is attacking it to no avail, and the fight has begun. Shadow follows Sonic and attacks the legs of the robot while Knuckles attacks its chest.
The robot swings its legs and hits both Sonic and Shadow, Knuckles punches a hole through its armor, but thousands of tough metal wires block him, he is smacked off by a hand and hits into the ground, Tails and the two fighter jet things shoot plasma missiles, scorching the robots chest.
The robot swings its hand and swipes at the planes, which void the attack while Sonic and Shadow team attack the legs, which actually starts to fracture the robots leg armor, Knuckles rapidly punches the other leg creating the same effect, both of the attackers are flung off, Shadow spin dashes the head only to be zapped.
Tails fires tons of plasma missiles at the arm of the robot, it opens up turrets and fires at them trying to avoid as much as possible, Sonic whirls around and breaks through the first leg which falls apart and collapses, Knuckles and Shadow take down its second leg, it fall down.
The team all high five, but the celebration is ended shortly when the robot's legs reattach and are slowly fixing themselves, they aren't perfect but they can stand, the robot picks itself up and fires its weaponry, Falco fires his plasma missiles at its eyes.
At contact the robot is blinded, Eggman takes control now and operates all functions and fires at Tails, hitting the wings and front, Tails is hit with a barrage of bullets and he crashes into the robots leg, he jumps out before impact and lies on the ground, the robots leg is taken off along with some mechanical bits inside.
Like before it's leg reattaches itself, Eggman hits the missile button and fires missiles, the missile shoot Is shot by plasma missiles and taken down, but a couple manage to do some damage to Fox's plane, Falco swerves around and fires his guns at the robot. Shadow, Sonic and Knuckles spin rapidly and slice through the robots arm, and it falls off, Falco shoots a missile into the port and blows up some of the inside, Eggman is flung out of his seat, he gets back in and starts firing again.
The arm reattaches but looks more loose, no matter what they do, they can't take it down, suddenly Eggman shouts over the monitor," You can't take down DEVASTATOR because he has a powerful magnet in it, only connected to the other pieces so it can always reconnect itself, your efforts are useless!" Everyone is shocked by that but still try to take it down, Amy attacks with her hammer denting the legs and causing severe damage to circuits, Sonic and Shadow use spin dash on the chest taking away the wiring until they are stopped by a large reactor, Eggman's face drops from happy to upset, Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and Amy all try to take it down by themselves.
Fox and Falco shoot at it from far away trying to help, but nothing seemed too help, Eggman is laughing at their stupidity. Sonic figures it would take a large explosion to take it out, Fox says," But the only things large powerful enough are the plasma bombs, but I ran out and Tails had some but his ship blew up." Falco says," Wait I have one Bomb and one missile left, will that work?"
Fox thinks about this and says," Yah I think so, do it quick!" Eggman shouts," No you don't!" Eggman fires his last ammo at Falco, most of them miss but just as they think he is in the clear, a bullet crashes through the window bounces off the wall and hits the bomb and missile control switch, shutting down the operation to lower the weapons. The ship is sparking and one of the engines was smoking, Falco thinks to himself," Darn it, how will we use the bomb now?"
suddenly Falco steadies the ship at the robot and says," You guys I need you to take his arms down now!" The four go to work and soon dispose of his arms. Fox says," What are you planning Falco?" Falco smiles and says," I'm going to ram the plane into it." Fox shouts," Don't do that just use them!" Falco says," It's the only way to stop him, the weapon system is down, and so is the seat launcher looks like I'm going down with the ship!"
nears the robot and Eggman shots," No, you can't do this; I have worked too hard, stop now!" Falco closes his eyes and pushes the ship forward, he lets out a smile and says," Bet you thought I would kill myself didn't you?" Everyone says," What?" Falco swerves the ship up wards at the last minute and the hatch opens up, the bomb flies out and smashes into the robots engine.
Falco turns around and says," Five… Four…. Three….. Two… One…." At that the bomb sets off in the engine, igniting the entire robot, the emeralds fly out of the explosion, Eggman flies out of it on a machine and says," I'll get you whether you a fox, bird or a hedgehog!" Falco lands his plane next to the group and hops out, the others run up and say," What happened up there, you were playing dead."
Falco smiled and said," It is a trick to make it look like no one can do anything, luckily I could open the hatch still or that would have been my fate." Once they were clear with the situation they left to Sonics house, there Tails opened a portal to there world and said," Okay Fox and your team, this is your portal home." Fox thanked him and jumped in saying goodbye to his friends, the team all left the same way.
Falco walked up to it and turned around, he said goodbye to everyone, Amy ran up and said," Can you ever visit again?" Falco smiled and said," Depends can Tails open a portal again." Amy smiled and said," So we will see each other again, good." They both leaned forward and kissed; afterwards Falco turned around and jumped in. The portal closed and the team went back in to the house, waiting for the next time Eggman striked, but for now they would rest easy, as would Fox and his team until danger threatened.
This is the end, there may or may not be a sequel. If there is a sequel it will be called Devil Bird.
