Rocket's POV
I walked up to the Death Egg Robot boss gate and used the Boss Gate Keys I collected after doing a challenge in Green Hill, Chemical Plant, and Sky Sanctuary. I inserted the keys in the locks and the gate unlocked, allowing me access to the boss. I stepped through to face the Death Egg Robot for the second time.
I walked then ran until I came to the edge of the corridor. I fell back in relief when I felt the ground shake. I looked as the Death Egg Robot revealed itself. "Hey, tin-man. Round two," I said before running over to it. The first maneuver it tried was to skewer me with one of its claws. I kept well out of range and the claw ended up hitting the floor and leaving a gaping hole. It retracted the arm and leaped a few feet in the air as if to crush me. At the last minute, I ran right under it and hit it in the weak spot much like the last time I was here. "Not bad," Classic Eggman said. It got back up and turned around, but I ran behind it and hit it in the weak spot once more. After hitting in the weak spot a second time, we came up to a new area of the Death Egg. The D.E.R. leaped into the air again and landed, causing me to be propelled upwards. I landed on a platform with a button. I then remembered what happened the last time after I pressed one of those. I went over to it and a bomb appeared at the exact moment the D.E.R. was aiming its claw again. I made sure it aimed at the bomb and not me. The claw hit the bomb and the D.E.R. was paralyzed, giving me enough time to run up the arm and hit the 'bot on the head. I repeated the strategy a second time and the D.E.R. fell apart. I landed in front of the debris. "That's two wins for me, Eggman. Your victory column definitely needs some improvement," I said before the D.E.R. and I both disappeared.
I was sent back to White Space where the Jet Emerald floated down to me. I grabbed it and added it to my inventory. I saw that color returned to the statue beside the gate which turned out to be Sally. "Nice job in there. You are pretty good," she said. "Thanks," I replied. I then looked at the emerald in my hand. "A Chaos Emerald. Was that here all this time," she asked. "Yeah. It was right here," I replied. "How do you know," she asked. "It's easy once you know all the right stuff," I replied. "Like?" "I read somewhere that the emeralds line themselves up with the Babylon Rogues, Sonic, Tails, and Knux," I explained. "So where are the others," she asked. "The Tails Emerald's with Shadow, the Sonic Emerald's with Perfect Chaos, Silv has the Storm Emerald, the Knux emerald's at Planet Wisp, and the Cyan Emerald's over with the Egg Dragoon. I got the Wave Emerald after challenging Metal Sonic and I just got the Jet Emerald," I explained. I was just five-sevenths away from having all the Chaos Emeralds.
