Chapter Twenty
Sonic's Vengeance
As the days went by, Rouge stayed in her apartment and would look at baby magazines, or knit baby clothes. Knuckles hadn't left Angel Island since he had tried to rape her, Rouge thought that maybe he was ashamed about what he had done and he couldn't face her, or even ring her up to apologise.
Rouge had also spend the last few days since her last vision of Shadow on Molly's planet wondering whether to steal the X-Tornado so she could fly into space to the planet to find him and bring him back to Mobius with her. Even though she had these ambitions, she couldn't because she was still heavily pregnant and she couldn't get into Tails's garage at any other time because the Sonic Team were holding their meetings there about the attack on Eggman.
As she was daydreaming, the phone rang making her jump; she hesitated for a moment wondering on who it might be, she then picked up the phone, "h…hello?" she whispered, "Rouge!" Amy's voice called on the other line, "its Amy" "Oh hey Amy" said Rouge, "what's going on?" "Today's the day!" said Amy excitedly "today's the day we attack Eggman's base! The bombs are ready and we're all meeting at Tails's garage in an hour"
"What!" cried Rouge "the attack on Eggman is today!?!" "Yes!" Amy literally screamed down the phone "it's today! Quick! We better get ready!" she then hung up before Rouge could even ask what else was going on. Rouge shrugged, then looked down at her stomach, "even though I cannot go on the actual mission, they may need someone to watch the area" she thought. She carefully put down her knitting and went to get her coat; she then locked her apartment and began to walk to Tails's place so she could attend the meeting.

"Ok everyone!" said Sonic "today's the day!", "the day we avenge Chris!" Rouge looked up at the hedgehog that stood in the middle of the garage with the look of determination on his face, "we shall blow that base to smithereens! And everything and everyone in it!" Everyone nodded "and then Eggman will be no more!" said Tails.
"It will be a relief when he is out of the picture" said Espio as she leaned against a wall, "you said it!" agreed Charmy, Amy looked up at Rouge who stood near the door, "what about Rouge?" she asked "She can't come on the actual mission" Rouge looked at Sonic and Amy then saw everyone else looking at her. "Well, I may not be able to help plant the bombs" she said "but I can still help, at least make sure you're all out safe"
"She's got a point" said Tails, "we do need someone to make sure everyone gets out ok after we've set the bombs" "I do wish to help you" said Rouge, "I know I used to work for Eggman, but mainly it was for my own reasons and for Shadow" She looked across to see Knuckles sitting next to Espio, Knuckles then looked away from her uttering a low growl on hearing Shadow's name.
"Ok" said Sonic, he then turned to a large board behind him where he had drawn a scale of Eggman's base, "so we'll all take a certain point to plant the bombs, Amy" he turned to Amy, "you will plant your set of bombs in the area with the oil tanks" Amy nodded, "gotcha Sonic" she said, "Knuckles" Knuckles looked up at the blue hedgehog "you will plant your set of bombs in the area of robots, as you're the strongest out of us you can stand against those robots if they come alive and attack you" "You can count on me" said Knuckles nodding.
Sonic then turned to Tails, "Tails, as you can use flight, you will plant your set of bombs on the roof and door leading to upstairs," Tails nodded, "right on" he said, Sonic then turned to the Chaotix "Chaotix" he said "you will scan the outside area and plant the bombs outside every door and window, make sure no-one gets out alive" "you got it Sonic" said Charmy.
Sonic then turned to Rouge "Rouge" he said "you will wait outside the area with Big, and Cream, your job is to make sure everyone gets out alive, use your walkie talkie to contact us to make sure everyone gets out" "Ok" said Rouge, "and also" said Sonic "could one of you Chaotix stand with her outside to make sure she's ok, in case something happens?"
"I'll wait with her" said Vector, "I'll make sure, her and Cream and Big are safe" Rouge smiled at Vector, "thanks" she said. Soon everyone was agreed with what their role was in the mission, then Sonic revised and went over the plan of how everyone would go in and get out safely.
When everyone fully understood, Sonic closed the meeting, "right" he said "get lots of sleep, we meet outside Eggman's base area at " Everyone agreed then left the garage and began to walk back to their homes to rest before their big mission that evening.
At 10pm, everyone showed up on the outskirts of Eggman's base, Sonic and Tails were standing with the bombs, when everyone arrived; Tails gave them each a bag of bombs. "Ok" said Sonic, "Rouge, Cream, Big, Vector, you wait here, the rest of us split up here, lets set our watches"
So everyone set their watches and picked up their bombs, "ok" said Sonic "everybody ready?" everyone nodded, "lets go!" said Sonic. Everyone then scattered to run to different areas to plant the explosives. Rouge watched as they ran towards the area, she stroked her stomach and bit her lip, hoping they'd all be ok.
Meanwhile inside the base, Eggman had no idea that the Sonic Team and the Chaotix were planting bombs around the area, he was staring at a screen of an upgraded robot and also glancing at a picture of Chris Thorndyke that sat next to his screen.
Each time he looked at the boy in the picture, he smirked, "that was such a rush" he said to himself, "such an amazing sight, seeing that annoying kid get blown up" she went back to typing, when he felt a rush of a breeze behind him, he stood up and looked over his shoulder.
He almost jumped out of his skin to see Sonic standing there with the look of anger on his face, "SONIC!" he cried "what…what are you doing here?!" Sonic crossed his arms and glared at him. "I think you know Eggman!" he snarled, "Chris Thorndyke! You know! The one you blew up in cold blood!?!"
Eggman smirked, "so you've finally come to me to avenge the death of that brat?" he said, Sonic snarled "you dare talk about Chris that way!" he spat angrily, he then flew at Eggman screaming "you're gonna pay!" Eggman quickly dodged and Sonic leapt off the wall. "Well…." Said Eggman the smirk never leaving his face, "I never knew that brat meant a lot to you, it's humorous!" he then ducked again as Sonic flew towards him again.
As sonic went for Eggman, his anger was getting stronger, he then aimed for Eggman and kicked him in the face, Eggman fell backwards against his machine system, he then stood up and held his arms up in front of his face as Sonic aimed for him, Sonic landed against the Doctor's arms, then the Doctor pushed Sonic back sending him flying. Sonic snarled as he jumped up, but the Doctor drew a laser gun from his belt.
As soon as Sonic saw it, he dived under a table as Eggman fired it at him, the beam then split the table, Sonic ran all over the room dodging the fiery blasts, "you can run hedgehog!" shouted Eggman, "but you'll never escape! You're finished! You'll soon be reunited with that brat!"
As soon as Eggman said those words, Sonic finally snapped, he leapt off the wall he was running on and flipped over Eggman's head, he then swung around and kicked Eggman hard in the back, Eggman fell forwards and flat on his face on the metal floor, as he did, he dropped his gun.
Sonic quickly grabbed it and pointed it at Eggman who struggled to stand, as Eggman got to his feet he saw Sonic aiming the gun at him and before he could move, Sonic blasted the Doctor in the legs. Eggman screamed in agony as the fiery beam hit his legs shooting right through them and making him bleed heavily.
Eggman feel to the ground groaning in agony, he looked up at the hedgehog and glared, "Sonic…" he gasped through his agony "you bastard!" Sonic lowered the gun, "you deserve this Eggman! I'll never forget the way you killed our friend! One who helped save our planet!"
Sonic then pulled a bomb out from the backpack he had on his back, "now…you shall die….and be on the path to hell….I've planted bombs around the area, so you and your robots will never escape!" "WHAT!" cried Eggman. Sonic then looked at his watch and saw he had less than 30 seconds to get out before the bombs went off. "Goodbye Doctor" he smirked, he then revved up his feet and ran towards the top window "NNNOOOOOOO!" he heard Eggman shout as he ran off.
Sonic ran as fast as he could to the roof, he then ran towards a tall oak tree and leapt on it then ran down the trunk, no sooner had he done so than the whole base began to erupt in flames, then the whole area exploded in a cloud of flame and smoke and melting metal.
Sonic then ran towards the outskirts where the others were waiting looking both shocked and terrified. Amy ran up to him "Oh Sonic!" she glomped him making the blue hedgehog splutter and choke. "I thought you were trapped in there!" sobbed Amy. "Take it easy Amy!" chuckled Sonic "I'm in one piece!"
He turned to watch the rest of the base explode as he put his arm around Amy, then a shockwave made their hair and quills blow about. Rouge held her stomach and also held onto Vector's arm as the shockwave rushed over them. Sonic then glared at the smoking ruins of Eggman's base. "Good Riddance" he snarled "rest in shit!"
As the Sonic team and Chaotix stared at the burning ruins, Rouge placed a hand over her stomach and began to gasp, Vector turned to her and tried to help, "are you ok Rouge?" he asked, Rouge tried to talk, but she couldn't speak, she fell on her knees and held her stomach groaning in pain. "I….I think it's time" she wheezed. Vector tried to help calm her down as the other's turned to him wondering what was happening. "Rouge's gone into labour!" Vector shouted in a panic.
So Eggman's dead! But Rouge's in labour!
