Rocket's POV
I was standing in front of the Boss Gate the Egg Dragoon lied behind. I knew this was the second-to-last battle I would fight. I saw Sonic and Chip frozen near the entrance and I knew they were the last two I would save. After this, I just had to face Time Eater. It would all be over after that and all of us could get back home. I stepped up to the gate, used the keys I had gotten from Crisis City, Rooftop Run, and Planet Wisp, inserted each key into one of the locks, opened the gate, and walked through.
I was skating when a line of flames rushed by me. It came from behind me, so I turned and saw the Egg Dragoon right behind me. It moved ahead and launched its drill in the hopes of skewering me. Split-second timing was the key to the drill missing me. Eggman switched from the cockpit at the top of the Egg Dragoon to the cockpit right near the bottom. "Freeze," Eggman cried as he launched a wave of ice. Luckily, I was far from the wave and wasn't frozen. I Quick Stepped to make sure I wasn't frozen by the waves of ice Eggman launched. I was close enough to the Egg Dragoon, so I used my Homing Attack to hit the very spot where Eggman was. He tried the same tactic and I hit the weak spot once again. Eggman switched tactics and launched blasts of ice at the floor in hopes of freezing me. He then brought down the arms of the Egg Dragoon and had them act like walls. I used the Wall Jump to make it to the top of the machine where Eggman was. Once that was done, Eggman once again switched tactics and used his drill to attack. I used a nearby Jump Panel to boost myself to rails that were high up. I grinded on one, then switched to another when I saw the rail I was on ended. I switched to another rail and to another and went through a Dash Ring that propelled me to the top of the Egg Dragoon. I launched an attack on it and hit it dead-on. I landed back on the ground and saw a mysterious shroud up ahead that both of us went through.
I found myself in a new part of the arena and saw the Egg Dragoon right below me. I remembered that regular skydiving wasn't going to make the cut, so I sped up and hit the Egg Dragoon once more. The same shroud from before was at the end of the skydiving portion of this fight and both of us went through it again. Before we could be brought back to the old zone, I scored an extra hit on the Egg Dragoon. We went through the same shroud and brought to the skydiving part of the fight again. I managed to score the final hit and the pile of scrap metal that was formerly the Egg Dragoon came crashing down. I landed in front of it and saw the handiwork I did. Suddenly, the pile of scrap disappeared and I was sent back to White Space. I collected the Cyan Chaos Emerald as it was restored. I saw that color also returned to Sonic and Chip. "That was impressive," Chip said. "Yeah, you're not half bad," Sonic said. "Thanks. Right now, it's time for the final battle," I said before running off to the final area of White Space.
