11 days passed by since Sonic's retrieval, he still didn't wake up, but he was definitely fine. Everyone decided that Sonic wouldn't be a part of this mission due to his injuries. Unfortunately, no one could come up with a plan to prevent the Chaos Emeralds from being present on the day of battle. They left early in the morning and flew down to the area near Adabat, searching for the abandoned base for the rendezvous with Dr. Eggman. About 600 miles off the coast of Adabat is where the base was located lying in the middle of the ocean.
The base resembled the traditional G.U.N bases on the water front; only thing was that this base was abandoned with the structure still in good condition. Tails piloted the massive ship to land in the nearby water, next they had to take custom made jet skis to the base, using the grappling hooks to reach up. Tails and Knuckles didn't need one, so they carried along Cream and Julie-Su, while everyone else had to grind it out and climb.
Once they reached the surface of the base, they encountered the enemy, the same enemy that nearly killed Sonic. Amy grits her teeth with revenge in her eyes, wielding her Piko-Piko hammer; Cream rests her hand on her back, calming her down.
"Amy…he's not worth it…please calm down!"
Knuckles came forward, "So you have the audacity to show your face after stealing the Master Emerald!? Everyone… this bastard is mine! I have a bone to pick with him." cracking his knuckles with a mean glare, approaching Roque.
Dr. Eggman appears before them with an army of various badniks and GE7 behind him and all the way in the back behind that army, the Master Emerald. Dr. Eggman guffaws at Knuckles' comment, bringing the Master Emerald forward.
"Now…I held my end to the bargain! Where are the Chaos Emeralds?"
Tails came forward, holding all 7 of them. As Tails approaches closer, Knuckles felt something wrong with the Master Emerald.
The Master Emerald…why can't I resonate with it…? Maybe… Knuckles realized at the moment exactly what was up.
"Tails don't! It's a fake! He tricked us into bringing them!"
Tails was already too late; he was so close to Dr. Eggman that Dr. Eggman just swiped the chaos Emeralds out of his hands, striking Tails into the ocean immediately; Cream jumps in to rescue him. Knuckles charges into Roque and slams him into the wall.
"Minions…Attack!" ordered Dr. Eggman, returning to GE7.
Knuckles throws jab-after-jab at Roque, applying more force in each punch, not allowing Roque to recover. Knuckles grabs him by the leg and throws him into the wall, shattering the entire building. Roque coughs up a little bit of blood, wiping the drip from his mouth.
"Hey now..! I like your intensity, why didn't you show me this strength the first time we met!?" panted Roque, becoming thrilled with the strength that Knuckles showcased.
"It's simple, you pissed me off."
"I like it…" responded Roque, in a deeper and terrifying tone, showing his sharp teeth; Knuckles charges at him, yelling with intensity as Roque prepared to block.
At the same time, Amy and the others were locked in battle with the army of badniks. Amy destroyed her set of badniks, leaving a pile of rubble behind. Mighty showcased his unbelievable strength, meeting his quota of badniks destroyed; along with the help of Julie-Su, who shot down the remaining badniks as Ray flew after .
Espio throws shurikens at the badniks in his section, Vector batters and bruises his share as well; they weren't the same as two years ago, all of them could fight, and proficiently too.
Knuckles exchanges devastating blows with Roque, their match has now become a test of resiliency with both of them exerting more energy than before. Knuckles stood at a disadvantage, since he can't dig underground to create a tactic to go against Roque's hard defense; he's forced into a surface battle against 12th seat, who hasn't even used his rock abilities as of yet.
The others chased Dr. Eggman inside of the navy building, attempting to stop his attempt of using the Chaos Emeralds. Dr. Eggman hurried on GE7, transeferring the energy of the Chaos Emeralds into GE7 before the others can arrive. GE7 grew stronger as each emerald loaded its energy into it, the process only lasted a minute. By the time the others arrive, it's too late; GE7 has completed his transformation with the energy of the Chaos Emeralds, now he looked very similar to Emerl, except he was green. The Chaos Emeralds fall to the fall to the floor, discolored, as the others begin to realize what has just happened.
Sonic wakes up from his slumber back at the mansion, feeling the effects of the Chaos Emeralds being depleted of their energy. He searches the mansion for the others, but no one's there. Sonic stands still and concentrates his thoughts onto the location of the Chaos Emeralds. His mind visualizes the location, giving him the exact scene of Amy and the others about to battle against GE7. He breaks in a cold sweat, storming out the house and running at full speed across the world, even running on water. "If I don't get there in time, everyone will be in grave danger!" breaking the sound barrier.
"Everyone, I would to introduce you to GE7. He will be the cornerstone of My Eggman Empire! Gnahahahaha! Prepare to meet your demise…" announced Dr. Eggman jubilantly.
GE7 attacks them swiftly, using chaos energy similar to that of Shadow. Amy deflects his attacks with her Piko-Piko hammer; Mighty and Ray charge in on a 2-on -1, Julie-Su stands back-ready to fire, Espio falls back to help Knuckles after hearing another boom from outside.
Amy sets her sights on Dr. Eggman, taking out her Bow and Arrow. GE7 quickly defeats Ray and Mighty and then knocks Julie-Su unconscious; he heads straight for Amy.
Can this GE7 detect feelings; maybe he has feelings of his own..?Realizing how uncharacteristic it was for any of Dr. Eggman's creations to come to his defense. GE7 cuts off Amy's path to Dr. Eggman, the battle between Amy and GE7 stood set.
Back outside, Knuckles struggled against Roque, who tossed him around like a ragdoll. Knuckles staggered to his feet-"Is that all you've got!?" smirked Knuckles, with a line of blood falling down his face, another hit to the face and he'd be in serious danger.
"I applaud you for your persistence, you may not be as strong as Sonic…but at least you held your own…" summoning his Rock hammer, ready to end the fight that needed to end long ago, it's a miracle that Knuckles stay in the fight for so long, considering his disadvantage.
Knuckles snapped as he heard Roque's comment, "Excuse me…did you compare me to that damn idiot..? I'll kill you!" punching his fists together with ravenous eyes; Roque's blood lust grew as he saw Knuckles intensity increase. That's right…show your full strength..! Push me to my utmost limit! I commend you, Knuckles the Echidna!
Both of them charge at each other and throw a powerful punch to the face, Roque absorbs the punch, but clearly staggers from the effects; Knuckles was unconscious, that final punch took him down for good. Espio arrives at the scene to see his captain bloodied and bruised.
"Knuckles..!" he screamed, running over to aid him. Charmy and Saffron also appear from the building where Amy and GE7 were about to fight, they had been assisting in the treatment of Julie-Su, Vector, Mighty and Ray. Charmy flew over with his medical kit.
"Don't worry Espio, I'll handle Knuckles. Saffron, do me a favor and check on the others to make sure they're ok, bring them here if necessary…and give this to whoever might still be fighting…" he tossed a bottle to her, and she went on her way back to Amy and company.
Espio shows four shurikens and draws out his chrome blade and purple dagger, "It's about time I get my revenge for what happened as well…"-turning to Knuckles-"Don't worry captain, I'll handle this one."
Roque stands there, intrigued by the sudden change in the Purple chameleon's behavior, his stealth persona faded, instead stood a warrior ready to fight; this fired up Roque even more. Espio throws the shurikens at him, but Roque blocks them with his Rock shield.
"So now you show your abilities…" stated Espio, calmly taking out three shurikens.
"Of course, any experienced fighter can sense a dangerous opponent. The look in your eye…"-grinning from ear-to-ear with pleasure-"It's terrifying!"
Espio throws the shurikens, disappearing in the air as he threw them; Roque uses his spherical rock shield, building his Rock armor. He breaks out the Rock shield, decorated in his heavy Rock armor; it's finally getting serious for him. Espio rolls behind him and takes a strike at the back of his armor with his Purple dagger. Roque absorbs the hit, turning around to Espio, but Espio disappears yet again.
Charmy observes the tactics that his friend was using; to think Espio would use these tactics against this guy…is he really that strong?
Espio draws his Chrome katana, slashing at his armor from behind. Roque turns again to position himself, but Espio disappears again, frustrating Roque. Roque laughs to himself, bringing out his Rock hammer-"Hey now! Fight me like a man!"
At the same time, Amy and GE7 were in the midst of their battle. Amy had been holding her own against the powerful foe. Amy glances at her friends, all of them are out of it. As it stands, I won't hold my own if I continue like this with them around…they are my first priority. Amy backs away and sprints to them, GE7halts, allowing her to help her friends; Saffron returns with the medicine.
"Amy here…" handing her the potion.
"Thanks…do me a favor and take them to the ship; we can't risk their lives any longer."
"Yeah, I'll carry them to Charmy, he'll take care of them. Make sure to save that potion for the last minute…"
Amy nods as Saffron carries Julie-Su and Ray on her shoulders. Amy guards Mighty and Vector, keeping her sight on GE7. GE7 stands still, awaiting Dr. Eggman's orders. Dr. Eggman remains mute, simply observing her; she was creeped out by his stare.
"Amy Rose…you're more ruthless than before…more aware and skilled…what changed you?" Asked Dr. Eggman,
Amy's silent, her eyes lock on him with suspicion as GE7 moves closer to her. Amy slowly draws her Piko-Piko hammer, ready to strike in self-defense. Saffron returns to pick up the next two; after she leaves, Amy resumes her attention to GE7.
"Now we can finally go all out, prepare yourself GE7."
Amy sprints toward GE7, showing pure determination in her form as she angles her hammer, ready to slam a critical hit on the robot. GE7 transforms his arms into guns, shooting at Amy, but Amy avoids the bullets.
Dr. Eggman continues his observation on her movements, her speed has improved remarkably; she's almost as fast as Sonic!
Amy leaps forward and swings her hammer, nearly taking off GE7's head. GE7 jumps back, returning to base form. Amy prepares for what lies ahead, planting her feet firm, ready. GE7 releases a green glow of light from his body, blinding Amy, then rushing at her with full speed and punching her in the gut, sending her into the wall and destroying the wall completely.
Roque and Espio's battle still goes strong as Espio keeps the fight to a standstill, refusing to fall into Roque's trap of a head-on battle. If I allow even a moment of hesitation in my movement, then I put myself at risk for a straightforward battle with him. I can't allow that by any means necessary!
Espio attacks again, but this time Roque read his movements, and catches his arm. Roque slams Espio to the ground, brutally punching him in the fame with his Rock glove. Espio eats every punch, his face swelling as blood drips from his nose, fading into unconsciousness; Charmy wails as his friend suffers a beatdown before his eyes.
Just at that moment, Cream and Tails return, soaking wet. Cream saw Charmy'stears, Knuckles, Julie-Su, and Ray lying helpless before him and Espio brutally beaten. Her face turns red with anger as she pulls out her twin pistols slowly approaching Roque. Saffron runs to Charmy with Vector and Mighty on her shoulders; Tails rushes over.
"Tails..! Thank goodness, you're back. We need you to bring them onto the ship; any longer they stay out here could be dangerous." Declared Charmy, tending to everyone's wounds; GE7 and Dr. Eggman exit the building with GE7 carrying Amy by the hair.
Dr. Eggman throws the Chaos Emeralds on the floor before them, while GE7 stares at Amy, then tossing her over to charmy; Cream's enraged, gritting her teeth and breathing heavy. Roque lowers his guard, knowing that everything's over now…
"Well. Dr. Eggman, looks like you got what you wanted. I suppose we'll be leaving now?" remarked Roque amicably holding his arms out wide.
Dr. Eggman approaches him, "Well Roque, a job well done. Unfortunately…GE7 and I won't need you any longer." GE7 stabs him in the chest with spear made from his arm; everyone's stunned by Dr. Eggman's betrayal.
Cream's eyes turn red with anger by the events that have transpired, locking and loading her guns. GE7 stands before Cream, transforming his arms into guns as well both of them piercing into eye other's minds. Another battle is about to happen: Cream vs. GE7, the Arms specialist against the Global Eradicator.
