There's a knock at the door. Sonic hears but doesn't bother getting up. "Sonic come on Vectors here with the ride you can go home" Sonic says nothing. "Sonic? Come on now wake up!" Sonic still doesn't move. "Sonic don't make me bust this door down!" Espio bangs on the door. Sonic eventually gets up and goes to the door. He opens it "Sup Espio checkin' out?" Espio doesn't say anything but just stares into Sonic's face. "I gather you didn't sleep well." Sonic narrows his eyes at Espio. Espio unfazed says "Don't give me that look I have no clue what you're going through but do you think taking it out on people who care about you will make it better?" Sonic just looks at the floor, feeling like an ass. Espio rests a hand on Sonic's shoulder "Forget it let's get you back to town."
Espio and Sonic walk up to a shiny heavily armored green pickup truck that had a grill with teeth, eye slits on the headlights and two back tires with mud flaps designed with music notes. Vector was leaning against it waiting. He sees the 2 of them and says "Hey Sonic long time, no see huh?" Sonic was looking at the ride "Damn Vector didn't know you could afford this!" Vector looked red for a second then cooled it down and said "Well this was actually part of our reward with the G.U.N. for that investigation not too long ago" Sonic snorts and says "Oh what did you do find the Presidents kitten?" Vector laughed and said "If you must know we uncovered the—ummmf" Espio ran up to Vector and closed his mouth shut with both hands. Espio interrupted "That's confidential." Espio let go and Vector gave him a look. "Oh which reminds me Espio your ride came in too, it could've waited until we got back but I thought you'd want a test run." Vector went to the back of the truck; Sonic had just noticed a veil covering something.
Vector opened the hatch hopped up onto the truck and grabbed the sheet. "TAAA DAAA" He lifted up the veil to reveal- "umm Vex" Sonic said "There's nothing there." Espio smirked "Looks like they added my requested specs." Vector tosses the keys at Espio with a wink and Espio catches them in one hand. He presses a button on the keys and a sleek indigo sports motorbike appeared. "Wow looks like the Chaotix just leveled up, so what did Charmy get?" Vector replied with a chuckle "He got a moped." Sonic laughs. Espio hopped on his bike as Vector lowered the ramp, and he rode it off the truck. Espio then rode up the side of the building and braked and it stuck to the side of the building, he turned activated the stealth function, then reappeared next to Sonic and Vector. Sonic Whistles "Alright boys let's hit the road!" Vector and Sonic climbed into the truck, Sonic had Espio help him up, and all three of them drove down the road back to Amber Town.
Few minutes passed they were driving down along a long straight road with hills and plains in the background. Sonic's bandaged foot was hanging out the window Vectors car had mustard yellow leather seats and three screens in the middle. "So," Sonic started "Espio's bike has stealth and can climb walls what does yours have?" Vector says excitedly "Oh man where do I start? It has military grade armor, reinforced windows, radar, GPS tracking, Auto-drive, communication interceptor." Sonic nods in approval "So did you get a rocket launcher?" Vector grimaced a bit "Nah the G.U.N. didn't give up all the cool stuff but it can transform into a boat" Vectors eyes get wide "OH OH and my favorite part!" Vector turns on the stereo then the whole truck starts vibrating from the heavy bass of the song. "Jackhammer speakers!" "What?!" "JACKHAMMER SPEAKERS!" "OH I NOTICED!" Sonic's tummy starts to growl "Hey Vector! Think we could stop at a fast food joint?!" "WHAT WAS THAT SONIC?" "LET"S GET SOME FOOD!" "SURE THING" All of a sudden Vector turns the music down and looks at one of the screens. "What the GPS found a chili dog spot?" Vector replies "No, my radar is getting a visual on several flying aircrafts headed our way." Sonic's eyes widened. "Dammit not again!" Vector looked at Sonic "What do you mean again?!"
Espio's voice came up on the radio "Vector it appears we have flying sharks coming at us." Vector shouted "Flying Sharks?" The truck shook as it felt they were hit by something overhead. "Shit! Sonic quick! Roll up your window!" Sonic did that just in time for another missile to hit the side. "Looks like we're all getting a test run!" Vector said as he swerved out the way dodging the incoming attacks. "Anyway we can outrun them?" "No dice we'll just take 'em out" Vector grabs some gum and puts the car in auto-drive. "Here Sonic, if you see anything up ahead radio in!" Vector hands Sonic a walkie "You got it!" Vector climbs out the back, as the flying sharks zip past his head. They were blue, torpedo shaped with red eyes and razor teeth, they also had wings they were each about 5 feet long and 8 feet wide.
Outside there were eleven flying sharks. Vector lowers the ramp and he presses a button on his head phone "Hey Espio wanna try something crazy?" "Way ahead of you." Espio positions himself far behind the truck then speeds up as the auto-drive slows the car down. He shoots up the ramp as the flying Sharks turn around for the next assault on the truck. Espio jumps off his motorcycle and throws out a chained kunai it hits one of the flying sharks but it remains flying Espio swings on it drawing out his katana. A Flying Shark comes up behind him preparing to shoot a missile but Espio quickly threw a shuriken in its mouth and blows up the missile inside the bot. Espio climbs his chain until he clambers onto the bot and stabs its head with his katana. The shark bot shudders a bit, Espio still holding onto the katana leans back and the shark-bot goes straight up two other shark bots follow. Espio pulls the sword out as he does he flips back with it and keeps flipping in a spiral violently cutting through the robots on the way down. Then he turns around in mid-air and throws an exploding shuriken at the shark bot he stabbed at and it explodes on contact destroying the shark. As Espio falls toward the ground he slices the wing off from one shark bot as it begins to spiral out of control and it detaches from the wings and hits the ground. He did this once again with another bot and it too detaches and falls to the ground. Espio lands right on top of his motorcycle with perfect balance. Vector, smiling, turns his attention to the shark bots diving from above, inhales, and blows flurry of gum bubbles which exploded in the air taking out three. One shark bot tries to come behind with another missile but Vector catches it mid-air by the wings chomps down on it and spits it out at the shark bot above him and scrap metal rains down as the collision causes an explosion. Vector dusts his hands "Well that takes care of that!"
He spoke too soon there were two Shark bots drilling through the road, leaping in and out of the pavement. Sonic looks in the side mirror and sees them coming "Vector!" The croc turns around and sees them getting closer. He inhales deeply and breathes out fire, but it was ineffective. Espio spoke through the radio link "It seems these flying robots had a secondary function as drills don't let them get close, I suspect they will drill through their target and detonate." Espio speeds up on his motorcycle throws a shuriken but it was deflected by the drill heads. Then they continue to pursue the truck underground. "I lost visual!" "I can see that" Vector quickly scampers back inside the truck, grabs the wheel and turns off auto drive. He checks his radar. "Crap they're real close now!" Vector begins swerving the truck again. Sonic was just sitting inside hanging on. "Vector how loud can your jackhammers get?" "Any other time Sonic but-" Espio interrupts on the radio "Wait Vector I think Sonic's on to something!" Vector has puzzled look on his face but turns on the radio "Let's get crunk!" He turns the volume to max on the party up song by DMX and the bass actually makes the truck vibrate violently. The loud boom of the heavy bass forces the shark bots to jump out rhythmically to the bass. Espio sees this, grabs 2 exploding kunai and with both hands and throws them at the shark bots they both hit their mark and explode.
Sonic looks in the side mirror and see the aftermath of the explosion with pieces of the bots in the distance. "Yes!" Sonic could not be heard the music was too loud. Vector turned and said "Sonic what'd you say?!" "VECTOR WE GOT 'EM!" "WHAT?!" "WE GOT EM" "OH OK!" "SO WHAT ABOUT THAT CHILLI DOG?!" "SPEAK UP SONIC I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" "LET'S GO FOR SOME FOOD!" "HUH?!" "NEVERMIND!" A moment passes and the music still blaring then Vector yells out "HEY SONIC YOU WANNA GET FOOD?! I'M STARVING!"
