Let me start by saying I'm sorry if you all hated the part with the freedom fighters last chapter. I put them in for these reasons…
1.I needed something for Eggman to be preoccupied with during the day so he would attack the cruise ship at night.
2.Personally I HATE THOSE DAMN FREEDOM FIGHTERS, so I had them all killed. I didn't kill Antoine he was the only smart one in the group. He knew that people as gay and as weak as them couldn't defeat the awesome might of The Eggman (Known as Dr.Robotnik in the SatAM show but I like the way Eggman sounds and looks in the Sonic X universe).
That will be the last time I put any different shows from the Sonic universe in this fic. From now on I stick to the universe of Sonic X and all the video games after Sonic Adventure (which did correspond in Sonic X if you didn't know.) Now lets start this action chapter!
Chapter 12: Same fait as the Titanic
Robots surrounded everyone. There was nowhere to run or hide. Amy got in front of Bartleby as a means of protecting him from the approaching invaders. Amy saw them extend their guns while she extended her hand. Out of nowhere, in a puff of pink smoke, came the Piko Piko hammer.
"Did you always have that?" Bartleby asked.
"Of course. It was given to me by a special friend." Amy said referring to the person her parents sent away. Amy extended her hammer at the robots and charged. Immediately, all the robots began a huge rampage across the ballroom. They shot everything in their path without the slightest regard for their own safety. Amy used her huge hammer to deflect the bullets shot at her and Bartleby but it seemed not to be helping the situation much.
Amy then ran toward them and started slamming the robot bodies apart.
"OH YEAH BABY! This is what I'm talking about!" Amy shouted clearly happy she was getting in on some fun, nice dangerous fun.
In the hallway of the shipSonic ran up and down the corridor of the ship trying to get away from multiple blasts coming from Smoke who was tailing him quite nicely. Smoke was able to use his smoking powers to become as light as air. This gave him the speed to catch up to Sonic without the pressure of his body holding him down. Smoke tossed another projectile at Sonic, which barely missed as they rounded a corner.
"Give it up hedgehog!" The angered smoke manipulator shouted. Sonic turned his head and stuck his tongue out at him.
"You'll never catch me!" He gloated.
"Oh really?" Smoke then picked up speed and launched a huge ball of smog at the hedgehog. The gas impaled him in the back and sent him crashing into the wall at the end of the hallway. Smoke then extended his fist as he ran as a means of striking the hedgehog while he was dazed. Sonic recovered quickly, however, and moved quickly to the side. Smoke immediately came into contact with the wall. It didn't hurt him in the least though. He turned to see the hedgehog speeding down the hallway. Smoke didn't hesitate to follow.
"Damn! This guy's fast and strong! I need to find Tails so we can leave." Sonic said to himself. Suddenly a silver robot burst through the sidewall and crashed into Sonic. Smoke was surprised when he saw this so he had no counter move. The robot and Sonic crashed into the other sidewall while Smoke slid past them both and crashed through the wall at the end of the room.
Back in the ballroomAmy was doing a good job defending her parents and Bartleby but everyone else was falling victim to the robots' numerous bullets. Amy had just taken out another one when 5 more jumped out of the floor!
"Damn! They're everywhere!" Amy yelled in excitement and fear.
"Amy darling! We must leave!" Shouted her mother Tanya.
"But I can't… I… oh all right." Amy pouted. Right after that was said something crashed through the wall, startling them all. Smoke lied there in the rubble on the ground but quickly got up. The Rose family and Bartleby saw the opening and quickly ran through it. Smoke watched them run past as he wasn't interested in them. Suddenly 5 robots came toward him and shot numerous bullets at his body.
"Oh please. Your wasting you're time." Smoke informed them as the bullets went through his body and were dissolved by his smoke. Smoke then extended his hands and sent out huge smog filled shockwaves at the robots, immediately destroying them. He then turned his attention to a table that was left unharmed by the still numerous robots fluttering around the ballroom. Finding it sort of weird, he walked toward it.
Under the table"Okay, I think Amy is gone." Tails said not completely sure. He didn't know whether to come out from under the table or stay in. He was so scared he didn't know what to do. If he stayed the robots would find him out sooner or later but if he left he would be killed on sight. "I wish Sonic were here." Tails said as he felt a tear come down his face. He heard the cries of the people that were out from under the table. That horrible painful shriek they admitted when they were shot rung in his ears. He couldn't bare the thought that he might turn out to be one of them. He sat and thought. 'What would Sonic do?' He knew what Sonic would do. He'd at least try saving his life instead of staying under here like a coward. This got the fox fired up.
"Yeah! I'm no coward!" Tails bravely crawled from under the table and looked down at the brown shoes that were in front of him. He lifted his head up to see SmokeStack hovering over him.
"Hello fox." He merely said. Tails didn't answer. Instead he quickly got up and ran toward the hole in the wall. Smoke immediately followed. The duty he had to take care of on Westside Island may have gotten in the way but this time there was nothing to stop him.
In the wide spaced extra luggage domainSonic shook his head feeling completely dazed. He had no idea where that robot came from or why it was here but he knew it wasn't for a positive reason. When the smoke had completely cleared he saw that he was in a huge area with many big doors attached to the walls. He was no longer in the sophisticated area on the ship, fore blue and silver metal was everywhere? Sonic immediately turned behind him to see the robot that crashed into him lying on the ground in a pile of its own scarp. He then looked for any sign of the opening he crashed through but couldn't find it. He must've either have fallen down a long range or been pushed so hard he flew far away from it. Either way it looked like he wasn't going back the way he came. With that he marched forward to find Tails.
"I wonder what this place is. Maybe it's an abandoned zone on this ship or something." Sonic suggested. Suddenly the ship began to rumble vigorously. The ship was under siege. It wasn't going to last very long since it was a cruise ship either. Sonic immediately started running. "I really need to find Tails."
Outside"Come on Bocoe. We're up next." Decoe said running to the opening of the ship's hangar.
"I'm here already. Lets just do this." The two robots got into their individual ships and headed straight for the cruise ship that was getting bombarded with huge missiles and bullets.
Inside the luggage domain again"Out of my way Dumbots!" Sonic yelled as he rammed numerous robots that were attacking him. They all exploded immediately on contact. However, more just came in their places. Sonic ran up the wall in order to escape. The robots just used their jet packs to follow him, however. "Damn it! Don't you guys ever take a break?" Sonic asked.
"Of course not. At least if the doctor tells us not too." Decoe and his ship flew in the room unexpectedly and shot many bullets at the hedgehog. Sonic immediately jumped off the side of the wall and landed on a huge wooden crate being hauled up by a metal crane. The bullets Decoe fired ended up hitting the silver robots instead.
"Nice aim." Bocoe said sarcastically. He then turned his own ship and shot it at the hedgehog. Sonic jumped off it and landed on the next crate over. Both Bocoe and Decoe flew toward him shooting multiple bullets at him, all of them missing. Eventually Sonic jumped and did a back flip. He then landed on Decoe's ship. Bocoe didn't hesitate to fire at Decoe's ship. Sonic then jumped off again and landed on a metal crane. The bullets barely missed Decoe's ship.
"What are you trying to do? Shoot the hedgehog not me!" Decoe shouted.
"Sorry. Maybe if you'd shoot him like you were suppose to you might not have come under fire." Bocoe said defensively.
"Boy, you two fight a lot. Who are you guys?" Sonic asked as he stood on the numerous piles of crates.
"I'm Bocoe, Eggman's new stationary ship commander." Bocoe said.
"No I'm his stationary ship commander!" Decoe argued.
"I am!"
"I am!"
All the while they were arguing Sonic thought it would be a good idea to give them the slip. He turned and started to tip toe away. Suddenly a huge red laser blasted the area in front of him, which startled the hell out of him. Sonic turned and looked up and saw the two ships with their guns pointed at Sonic.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bocoe asked.
"We're not done with you yet." Decoe said as they both flew toward Sonic while firing lasers at him. He immediately turned around and ran along the huge path of crates.
The abandoned zone of the cruise shipThe ship was getting hit with many lasers and missiles, robots were destroying everything and killing everyone, and Tails was being chased by a smoke elemental man.
Tails ran back into the scary dark area of the ship as a means of escaping from Smoke. He didn't like the idea of being here again, especially after what took place a few hours ago. It didn't seem he had any other choice though.
"You can't escape fox!" Smoke pelted another smoke filled blast at Tails. The fox turned and saw it coming. He quickly dodged to the side. The blast barely missed him as another one came directly at him again. Tails dodged that one too but stumbled a bit. This gave Smoke the chance to fire another one at him with great force this time. This time it hit Tails in the back causing him to fly forward and land on the hard torn up floor. The fox looked up at Smoke a little dazed.
"What do you want from me?" Tails asked completely scared.
"I want you dead!" Smoke slammed his smoking fist at the fox, who immediately rolled out of the way. The fist slammed against the floor and created a huge shockwave that hit Tails and sent him flying down the hall. He eventually landed near the same hallway the laboratory entrance was. Tails looked down the hallway in fear.
"I really wish Sonic were here." Tails said in fear. Suddenly he saw Smoke running rapidly toward him with his fists extended.
"This will finish it!" Smoke shouted.
"HY YAH!" Shouted a feminine voice from behind. A huge boot kicked smoke in the back hard and sent him flying down the hallway across from Tails (Not the one that led to the laboratory). Tails kept his eyes closed expecting something painful to happen but nothing ever did.
"Huh?" Still keeping his eyes closes he reached his hand out to feel if anyone was there. His hand touched something but he didn't know what it was.
"You like how it feels?" asked the feminine voice. Tails looked up and saw that he was clutched a woman. Not just that but he was clutching a woman's breast area. Tails withdrew his hand and blushed. He was now staring at a white bat wearing a purple jumpsuit.
"I'm sorry!" Tails immediately pleaded.
"Don't be. I've longed for a man to do that to me." Rouge the Bat said while smirking. Tails then saw Big the Cat with his pet Froggy on his head run past them both and down the hallway leading to the laboratory. "What do you say shorty? Feel like helping us out on an investigation?" Rouge asked.
"… Uh… okay." Tails said while still blushing. Rouge helped him up and they both ran down the hallway.
Meanwhile down the other hallway, Smoke had just gotten on his feet. The ship shook more violently again.
"Err! There is to much interruptions!" Smoke yelled while he pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it. "Listen up men! I want you all to head to the top deck and shoot wildly at those Eggman ships! I don't care if it is past 9:00pm and that it will be hard to see through the darkness! I just want it done!" Smoke yelled. He heard a faint 'we're on it sir' on the other end. Smoke than put the device back into his pocket. "That kitsune will pay for what he did! I'll make him pay if I have to die trying!" Smoke said taking off.
In the laboratoryMorris pressed numerous buttons on the consul of the machine. He heard all the commotion going on not far from here. He also knew it was Eggman attacking everyone. He had to get the project finished now! The beast in the tube was at a reading of 92 percent complete.
"Excellent. Soon Bp2 will be stronger than Professor Gerald's model of the ultimate life form. That will teach that damn Egghead." He said while smirking. Just than the door was kicked through. The door flew off the hinges and fell to the laboratory's floor. This didn't seem to affect Morris in any way.
"Alright, the jig is up!" Rouge said as she stood at the doorway. Tails immediately ran past Rouge, Big, and Froggy toward the huge glass prison the beast was being held in.
"What happened to Ryan?" Tails asked. "He looks so sad."
"He shouldn't be, we're about to become the most powerful creatures on Mobius." Morris said.
"What did you do to him?" Tails turned to Morris and asked.
"Nothing. I simply created him." Morris said.
"Impossible!" Rouge butted in. "Only God can create people." Rouge explained.
"Well…that may be true… however I meant I created the beast's new body, not its original form. I used Eggman's grandfather's blue prints of the Biolizard to create his new body after I found him in the forest." Morris explained.
"What's a Biolizard?" Big asked.
"Wait, I've heard of that. That was the research project held on the first biomedical space colony called Ark right? But that was 50-years-ago. How'd you get the blue prints?" Rouge asked.
"Well, I used to work for Eggman. But after how low he rated me as a member of his crew I decided to go against him and show him that I could create a better invention then him. So then I thought, why not his grandfather's invention? I used Eggman's time machine to go back in time and set the destination to The Ark. It wasn't easy stealing those blueprints you know. Even though I slipped past the security a black hedgehog found me out. I believe his name was Shadow. Oh well, doesn't matter, point is I got the blue prints."
"What are you going to do with Ryan?" Tails asked a little scared of the once heart warming doctor.
"I'm going to fuse with him and go on a rampage across the planet. What else?"
"If your grudge is against Eggman then why are you going to kill everyone else?" Rouge asked.
"In order to prove myself I need to actually do something with the ultimate creation, not just create it." Morris explained.
"It won't work!" Tails shouted. Morris looked down at Tails with a confused expression on his face. "Ryan doesn't like what you've been doing to him. He also doesn't like what you're going to do to everyone else. He won't let you use his body to do bad things!" Tails shouted. Right after he said that Tails was met with a hard blow to the stomach. Morris held his fist in Tails' stomach for a while but eventually brought it back. As soon as he did Tails fell to the floor in pain.
"Don't call it that infernal name! His name is Bp2 understand!" Morris shouted at the fox. Tails just squirmed on the ground. "And my plan will work, fore you see, I'm going to be the one calling the shots in this beast's head!" Morris looked at the machine in front of him. It read 100 percent. "Perfect! Now, let us begin!" Morris said pulling out a dark blue chaos emerald.
"I knew there was one in here!" Rouge yelled. Big extended his fishing pole and lashed it out at Morris. However he quickly grabbed it and chucked it back. Morris than turned to his computer and pressed another button on the consul. Immediately the glass case concealing the monster opened up. Once it was open, Morris walked toward it and forced open Ryan's mouth.
"So it begins." He said before jumping inside the beast's mouth. As soon as he did a blue light emitted from the beast's body. It roared in pain; it was loud enough to be heard all over the ship. When the light dimmed, they were all staring at a huge light purple lizard with half of Morris's body sticking out the top of it's head. Morris didn't look like his usual self however. His skin was light purple, his hair was sky blue, and his eyes were yellow. The chaos emerald was attached to Morris's forehead as well.
"Behold! I am now the Metamorphic Bp2!" Morris shouted, which was immediately followed by another one of the beast's roars.
"Big deal!" said a voice from behind. They all turned to the doorway to see Smoke standing there, looking pissed off. "That cheesy model you made can never compare to the real thing. It completely pathetic that you would even need someone else's blueprints to fit you own damn needs! Some scientist you are." Smoke said sarcastically while walking forward.
"Didn't I take you out?" Rouge asked.
"… Lady, all the beer in the world couldn't take me out." Smoke said.
"What do you know?" Morris shouted clearly angered.
"A hell of a lot more than you do." Smoke said back.
"Enough!" The beast than shot a huge blast at him, which hit directly. The blast sent Rouge, Big, Froogy, and Tails to the wall. "You see how powerful I am!" Morris said not expecting to get an answer back.
"Oh I see. You're power sucks. Just like a mosquito sucking blood from human flesh." Smoke said stepping out of the blasts' smoke.
"Impossible!" Morris said.
"Ryan… don't let him take you over Ryan… " Tails said weakly. Both Smoke and Morris turned to look at him.
"The fox!" Smoke said running forward.
"I thought I told you not to call him that!' Morris shot another blast out at him. Smoke quickly launched his smoke projectile at the incoming blast at Tails. They both collided and spread across the room's floor. The floor immediately cracked then broke apart. Everyone was stunned, to stunned to move. The floor burst through itself and they all fell in the newly opened pit. Morris however quickly jumped before the floor completely caved through. The huge monstrous form of himself burst through the top of the ship and roared menacingly.
"What the hell is that?" Asked one of Smoke's men as they finally made it to the top of the roof.
"I don't know but it doesn't look friendly." Said another soldier. The beast stared down at them with a look of pure evil on its face. He didn't hesitate to shoot a huge thunderous blast at all of them. It hit directly, as expected.
"Ha, Ha, Ha! You are all my new play things." Morris laughed. Suddenly an unexpected missile hit against his neck. A huge explosion took place in that area but it didn't faze him. "Who has the gal to…?" Morris saw that he was staring directly at a huge fleet on Eggman's ships. "…Finally, I've been waiting forever for this moment to happen!" Morris shouted as he began blasting the ships. As expected the ships all shot back. Numerous holes were in the ship now, and it was beginning to drown, fast! Time would soon run out.
Back in the luggage domainSonic was ducking here and there, back and forth, and this way and that in order to try and beat these two fools but to no avail.
"How the heck is it this hard to defeat two airships?" Sonic mumbled while pulling out a ring from his glove. He grasped it and he immediately went into his ball form.
"What's that?" Bocoe asked. Soon he saw Sonic heading straight for him. Bocoe immediately turned away as the ball form of Sonic flew toward him. Sonic went past Bocoe then headed for Decoe.
"Hey, I don't want to be toast either!" Decoe began shooting missiles at Sonic. The crafty hedgehog than maneuvered his way around them and let them collide with each other. Sonic blasted his way straight through Decoe's ship. "Oh no! I'm out of here!" Decoe pulled the lever on the consul that immediately flung him out of the ship. He quickly pulled out a parasol and glided to the ground.
"How dare you! These ships were customized perfectly and you ruin them!" Bocoe said to Sonic. Behind them Decoe's ship is seen exploding.
"Well if they can be destroyed I guess they're not perfect then." Sonic said running on the crates toward Bocoe's ship.
"Err! Lets do autopilot now." Bocoe pressed a red button on his consul that turned the ships autopilot on. Bocoe then opened the hatch and pulled out a ray gun then pointed it at Sonic's direction.
"A ray gun? That the best you got?" Sonic asked. Bocoe fired one blast from his gun, which created a huge thunderous blast behind Sonic. The hedgehog turned around and saw the destruction one blast from that thing did. "Whoa."
"And this still isn't the best we've got." Bocoe jumped out the ship and shot multiple blasts at Sonic. The hedgehog jumped in the air and dodged them all, letting them hit the ships surface below him. The explosions they caused sent Sonic flying even higher. The speed the hedgehog was picking while he was flying toward him took Bocoe by surprise. The both rammed into each other and fell.
"Don't worry, I've got you Bocoe." Decoe held out his arms as a means to catch him. However, instead of catching Bocoe he caught Sonic the Hedgehog instead.
"Awe, I didn't know you cared." Sonic said as he ran out of Decoe's hands. Before the gold robot could go after him Bocoe fell directly on top of him.
"Heh, heh, heh, now that that's over I can focus on finding Tails and Amy." Sonic ran far across the room until he saw a small exit. The hedgehog ran out of the domain and quickly headed for the next area.
In a Random hallwayAmy, her family, and Bartleby were finding it hard not to round a corner without a silver robot blocking their path. Even so, Amy swung her hammer at each one that came by.
"How much farther till we reach the life boats?" Bartleby asked.
"I don't know. This place is extremely huge. It could take forever to find them. See! I told you mom and dad! Bigger isn't always better!" Amy said clearly angry.
"This isn't our fault Amy." Marlin Rose shouted.
"Yes it is! Everything bad that happens to me is always your fault! I never wanted to go on this stupid cruise!" Amy yelled then noticed many scared people running down the halls.
"Quickly the life boats are in this direction!" said a man as he stopped to tell the Rose family, then continued to run. Suddenly the whole ship started to rock backward. They all slid back toward the wall when it happened.
"What's going on?" asked Tanya Rose.
"The ships sinking. The back end must be tipping backward because that's where the most holes in the ship must be. Come on." Amy said leading them down the path all the scared personal were headed. Suddenly many robots burst through the walls and took them all by surprise. They didn't hesitate to fire. Three bullets struck Marlin and one struck Tanya. Before they could keep firing a blue blur rushed around the robots and destroyed them quickly. Amy looked forward and saw her hero, Sonic the Hedgehog emerge from the smoke. She immediately ran toward him for another bone crushing hug.
"Oh Sonic! It's horrible! Look what happened to my parents!" Amy cried. Sonic looked down at the bleeding bodies of the two money grubbing tyrants. Even if they were tyrants they were still Amy's parents.
"… I'm sorry Amy." Sonic merely said. Suddenly the ship started to sink backward even more. Bartleby and Sonic clung onto the sharp ends of the paintings on the wall to prevent themselves from falling back. Amy was already clinging to Sonic so she didn't need to worry. Amy didn't even glance back at her parent's bodies as they slid backward toward the sinking end of the ship.
"I think we'd better hurry or we'll sink as well." Bartleby suggested.
"Right." Sonic then jumped toward Bartleby grabbed him by the coat and ran up the hall. It felt as if they we're running up a long ramp. None of them cared however. They needed to get to safety and quick.
OutsideMetal Sonic watched all the Eggman ships fighting the humungous beast on the top of the ship. He could see that the cruise ship was tipping over. They were causing a lot more trouble then expected.
"What is the point of all this senseless killing Eggman? What are you trying to gain out of it all?" Metal Sonic said to himself while looking at the multiple explosions lighting up the night sky. He then looked closer at all the beast and saw a blue chaos emerald on Morris's head. "Hello, what's this?" Metal immediately got out of his seat and jumped out the window. The beast shot more rapidly as the ship's back half started to sink and the top half started to rise out of the water. Metal launched himself at the beast using his jetpack.
"No one can defeat me! Not even you Eggman!" Morris shouted.
"Eggman isn't here right now!" Metal shouted as he headed for the beast's head. Morris quickly and mentally commanded Bp2 to blast Metal Sonic. Metal, however, was able to dodge every single red energy blast that was shot at him with ease.
"You think you can take me on so easily? Think again!" Morris shouted as a force field appeared around the beast. Metal didn't have time to react as he slammed into the force field, fell toward the ship's surface, and crashed through it.
"Weak minded robot." Morris mumbled as he continued to take the Egg fleet ships out.
On the lower deck of the shipTails lied on the floor completely unconscious for a couple of minutes before getting up. The ship had so many holes in it the whole thing was beginning to flood. Tails looked at the water rising in confusion.
"Did I drool that much while I was asleep?" Tails wondered. He then heard a familiar roar come from above him. "Ryan…" Tails knew that roar. It was Ryan's roar of pain and sadness. The fox immediately twirled his tails and shot upward toward the top deck.
"Don't worry Ryan, I'll save you." That's when Tails felt something grab against his leg. The fox screamed in pain. His leg still didn't heal enough from the time he was shot. Something was pulling him down. Tails looked at his foot and saw a silver Eggman mech holding him. Tails was taken toward the ground where many more meches were waiting for him. They immediately started to gang up on Tails.
"ROOOOOAAAR!" Another roar came from Ryan.
"No. Ryan… " Tails couldn't get away from the robots. Ryan couldn't be helped.
"No… I'm not going to give up on my friends! Sonic wouldn't! Neither will I!" Tails twirled his tails vigorously and sent every single robot flying in all directions. They all crashed and exploded as Tails shot himself up again. "Hang on Ryan. I'm coming!" Tails burst through the floor of the upper deck and saw the monster he claimed was his friend blasting at the numerous Eggman ships in the sky.
"Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! You're going down! All of you!" Morris shouted.
"RYAN!" Tails shouted at the beast. Morris and the beast's head turned to face the fox.
"What do you want?" Morris shouted angrily.
"RYAN! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Tails tried to yell as loud as he could so his monster friend could here him somewhere in his head. However, it didn't seem to work.
"HA! Are you still going on about that Ryan crap! I told you his name is Bp2 and together we are the Metamorphic Bp2! Do you understand that wench?" He yelled.
"Ryan! Don't listen to this meanie! He isn't you! Fight him! You're stronger than he will ever be!" Tails shouted.
"Enough of this crap! Attack!" Morris commanded. Ryan did nothing. Morris looked down at the beast's head in shock. "Listen to me! Do as I say and destroy that fox!" This time Ryan shot a huge blast at Tails. The fox immediately grew scared. Before it struck him, however, and mysterious force grabbed him and pulled him away from the impact just in time.
"Are you crazy kid? You could've gotten killed!" said a concerned Rouge the Bat.
"I know… but Ryan is in there somewhere. I haven't known him for that long but I know he doesn't want to do what he's doing." Tails said.
"I know too. It's that chaos emerald. As long as it's stuck to Morris' skull we can't snap it out of that damn trance. Big! Go for the emerald again!" Rouge shouted across from her.
"Okay!" Big, along with his pet frog, climbed to onto the beast's back and headed for it's head.
"Hey! Get off of me!" Morris shouted and began to shake Ryan's huge body as a means of trying to shack him off. Big held his ground however. Once he reached the top he used his fishing pole to rap the line around the half of Morris's body that still existed. "What are you doing?" He yelled.
"Go now Tails!" Rouge shouted. Tails jumped up and twirled his tails to take flight. The fox flew to Morris' head and began pulling at the chaos emerald stuck in Morris' skull while Big subdued him. Eventually Tails pulled so hard th4e chaos emerald popped off and headed of the deck. Big undid his line and jumped off Morris' head to attempt to retrieve it. However it fell through the hole Metal Sonic made earlier.
"No! It's right below the engine room!" Rouge shouted as she and Big ran toward the hole. Suddenly there was a flash of blue light coming from behind. They both turned and saw they monster screaming out in the night sky.
"What! No!" Morris couldn't control the beast as it slammed into the deck. Right about now half of the ship's front side was in the air. Rouge, Big and Froggy slid down the slanted ship until they reached the metal bars on the perimeter.
"We still have the purple emerald." Big said pointed to the nap sack around his shoulder.
"That's great. Now all we need is a ride off this ship." Rouge said. Ryan's body slid down toward the perimeter as well. Morris had lost all control.
"No Damn it! Damn it all to hell!" Morris shouted. He was apart of this beast now. Without the chaos emerald he couldn't move. He was a vegetable. Suddenly many missiles blasted against Morris' body. He and the beast cried out on pain as they struck the huge lizard body.
"Ryan!" Tails flew toward Ryan's face as the missiles kept striking the lizard's body.
"Impossible! Eggman's ships will not destroy my creation! I won't allow it! No!" Morris shouted before numerous missiles struck him directly. Since the emerald wasn't there the force field didn't show up. Morris was obliterated.
"Ryan, get up!" Tails shouted. Ryan didn't move a muscle. Instead it merely smiled at Tails. Tails didn't have time to say anything else before the rest of Ryan's body was obliterated as well. The resulting explosion made the ship catch on fire. Tails hovered there with tears on his face as he watched his friend go up in flames.
"…Ryan."
In the weapons room"Don't worry Bocoe, I know where we can get supplies! These rich people always keep hidden military flying tanks somewhere." Decoe said running through the area.
"How do you know that?" Bocoe asked.
"I read it in a brochure before we got here. Gotta come prepared." Decoe answered before they heard a huge engine roar.
"What was that?" Bocoe asked. Suddenly a huge green camouflage flying military tank with spinning blades at the sides and no wheels flew by them. "Was that the tank you spoke of?"
"Yes it is?" Decoe said stunned. Who else knew about the tank?
"That was easy. Now to destroy the rest of those Eggman ships! Next time I'll have your head kitsune!" Smoke said as he piloted the tank out on the open deck.
"Now what?" Decoe asked noticing the ship was starting to actually sink.
"Wait a minute, the hedgehog destroyed your ship but mine is still on autopilot." Bocoe pressed a button on the remote control he had and the sound of a car alarm was heard. Soon Bocoe's ship flew by and the both hoped in.
"Next time Sonic the Hedgehog!" Both yelled in unison.
"That was fun." Decoe said.
"Yes. I can see why the doctor loves to do it so much. At least that's what it said in his records." Bocoe said as they both flew out of the ship as well.
In escape pod/life boat areaMany people had already left the ship in the escape pods. The lifeboats were useless considering the half of the ship they were all in was completely underwater. Sonic, Amy, and Bartleby all ran toward the escape pods. There was only one left.
"Boy aren't we lucky." Bartleby said in excitement as he climbed in. Amy was about to as well but she noticed Sonic wasn't moving.
"Aren't you coming Sonic?" Amy asked.
"… I'm going back for Tails." Sonic announced.
"What? But…"
"I have to. You and Bartleby leave now." Sonic demanded. Amy stood for a second then agreed. With that Sonic ran back to find Tails.
"Be careful Sonic." Amy said as they shut the hatch door and left the sinking ship.
On the top deckRouge, Big, and Froggy were stuck on the perimeter. It seems if though they had no chance of escape. Suddenly a huge flying tank burst through the top deck and hovered there.
"Hello! Big, I think we found our ticket out of here." Rouge said.
"Lets go." Big answered.
"Ribbit." Froggy agreed. Rouge picked up Big by the shoulders (Froggy rode in the open bag) and tried her best to carry him toward the huge flying tank. Once they landed on its roof Rouge knocked on the glass. Smoke looked up to see who it was.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly.
"Do you mind letting us in?" Rouge asked.
"… Sure come in." Smoke said without thinking. He couldn't deny his G.U.N principle to help those in trouble, especially if it was a woman, even though she did kick him in the back. Rouge, Big, and Froggy got into the ship when Smoke lifted the glass dome. He then closed it and faced the remaining Eggman ships. "You like fireworks?" Smoke asked.
"Of course. Can you make me some?" Rouge asked. Smoke smiled.
"I'd be honored to." Smoke then charged his huge tank at the ships and began attacking them.
The engine roomThe blue chaos emerald was lying on a small platform over Tails' head. He flew down there as a means of finding Sonic but he wasn't having much luck. That's when he saw a blue light flash above him. Tails looked up and saw the chaos emerald, high above him.
"It's another one of those lucky rocks I had back on Westside Island." Tails said in astonishment. He then noticed a metal figure heading toward it. "Hey, I know him." Tails pointed out.
"There it is. It's all mine." Metal Sonic said as he flew toward it. Tails was about to do something when he heard a crash come from the other side of the flooded room. Sonic burst through the wall and ran up the huge engine crane toward the chaos emerald.
"I don't think so buddy." Sonic said as he reached for the emerald. They both rammed into each other, however, and the chaos emerald fell off the side. The two rivals jumped off the crane as a means of catching it.
"You think you can beat me?" Metal Sonic asked.
"I know I can." Sonic said pulling out a ring. Metal quickly kicked it out of his hand however. Before Sonic could react metal kicked him again. Sonic flew across the room and crashed into the engine's generator. Metal then grabbed the emerald and landed on a floating piece of metal that was in the large pool of water. Sonic looked up and noticed Metal had the emerald. That was perfect. His ring was gone and the robot has the emerald. Sonic looked around the area and spotted his ring, floating in the water behind Metal. Without hesitation, Sonic quickly jumped off the generator and ran for the ring.
"Fool." Metal muttered as he jumped up and shot large beams out at Sonic. Sonic quickly dodged each one that came his way and reached for the ring. With a stroke of luck Sonic grabbed it and turned to his ball form. He could originally do this without the ring but the ring supplies a power-up for him. He seriously needed one to face this dude. Sonic shot himself straight at Metal and hit him directly. Metal fell on the metal platform hard while Sonic landed gracefully.
"Yeah! Go Sonic!" Tails shouted in excitement. Metal got up and saw the opening was beginning to fill with water. The ship was half way completely sunken. The blue emerald was still in Metal's grasp so he didn't care much for the fight anymore.
"Farewell hedgehog." Metal said taking off. He flew outside and went back to his a main ship. He soon discovered that a flying military tank was destroying all the ships. "Attention, All fleet ships retreat! I repeat, retreat!" Metal said in the intercom. The remaining ships did as they were told and flew away at a tremendous speed along with Metal Sonic's ship. Smoke's tank all of a sudden stopped destroing the ships. They all sat in the cockpit and watched them leave.
"Well that was fun. Lets go." Smoke said flying off as well.
Back in the shipSonic ran toward Tails and picked him up. He then ran up the wall, obviously trying to escape. However, all the water at the side of the wall made him slip and fall back toward the metal debris. When Sonic landed he looked up a bit concerned.
"S-Sonic, are we going to live." Tails asked.
"… You bet we are." Sonic reassured. He couldn't swim in water but if his new plan worked he wouldn't need to. Sonic clutched Tails' arm and his ring then faced the generator. "I know this is a crazy and idiotic plan but it'll have to do." Sonic turned into his ball form, with Tails in it as well, and then shot himself at the generator. "Brace yourself!" he yelled as they crashed through the generator with full force.
At that very moment the entire ship exploded.
Well I hope you liked it as much as I did. If not maybe more. Review please and as always I'll be back with another chapter.
