Chapter 4: Hostage Situation

Tails situation was quite dire as Sonic, Knuckles and Jack raced against time,the Robotic Samurai was waiting for them patiently.

"You'll never get away with this" said Tails.

"I will, Master Aku has foreseen it" continued the Robotic Samurai, "and I shall obtain the Master Emerald for him as well in the process."

"But the island will fall into the sea or worse if it's on land in a populated area it could crush the people down there" said Tails.

"Not of my concern" said the Robotic Samurai, "my master will blame it on his nemesis Samurai Jack."

Soon Sonic arrived on the scene with Knucles and Jack right behind him.

"Hey you bucket of bolts let Tails go" said Sonic.

"Not one move or the two-tailed fox gets it" said the Robotic Samurai as it drew its sword.

"Sonic, anyone help!" cried Tails.

Jack ended up leaping right in the nick of time as the Robotic Samurai was about to do the unthinkable to poor Tails, Jack stood right in the Robotic Samurai's path.

"You shall do no harm!" roared Jack.

"Ha, knew you'd come to the rescue just in the nick of time for me to make my move" laughed the Robotic Samurai.

The Robotic Samurai then changes one of its hands into a taser and fires it at Jack shocking him to be stunned and unconscious.

"Now samurai, Aku would love to see you gone" said the Robotic Samurai as it raised its sword.

"Ah man!" cried Sonic as he had to go rescue his samurai friend.

Sonic sped up managed to grab Jack and free Tails at the same time.

"Man he means business" said Sonic.

"Sonic I think I know a way I can defeat him, we just need an EMP-like grenade" said Tails.

"How the heck are you going to create one of those?" asked Sonic.

"Heck I can do it" said Tails.

Tails soon began to get to work with his EMP-grenade, for Jack he woke up to see Sonic teasing his Robotic Samurai counterpart on the battlefield with Knuckles also fighting it as well. Jack soon got up and joined the trio. Jack charged first clashing with the sword of the Robotic Samurai, then Knuckles came gliding in delivering a punch along with Sonic having a spin ball dash attack on the Robotic Samurai. Yet the Robotic Samurai still was able to get up.

"You three are no match for me" said the Robotic Samurai, "I will finish you."

Suddenly an EMP-grenade that Tails had created was tossed beneath the Robotic Samurai.

"Ha, ha" laughed the Robotic Samurai, "you think a simple grenade will defeat me?"

Suddenly the EMP-grenade goes off and soon short-circuits the Robotic Samurai.

"Now!" said Tails.

Jack leaped right into action slicing his sword through the Robotic Samurai, as Jack leaped right out of the way the Robotic Samurai ends up exploding into pieces. Aku, nor Eggman were not pleased with the results.

"Bah!" cried Aku, "The samurai managed to defeat my creation!"

"Well at least the Robotic Samurai wansn't my idea" said Eggman.

"But it was still your robot from your shop" continued Aku.

"Hey I'm not the genius who had the blueprints in this one" continued Eggman, "I just made the robot."

For Jack, as he was heading to the Master Emerald chambers, the portal was still opened just as how Knuckles had opened it.

"Go on ahead" said Tails, "you earned it."

"Thanks" said Jack.

But as Jack was about to do that, everyone began to feel the rumbling beneath them, Aku himself had teleported toward the Floating Island not very pleased with his creation's work.

"Never try to send a robot to do a shape-shifting wizard's job" laughed Aku.

Aku then blasted his laser beam eyes targeting the four, it was just then that the portal ends up closing up.

"Oh poor samurai can't go back to your own home time, maybe I should turn the Master Emerald into pieces!" laughed Aku.

"But the island will fall!" said Tails.

"Don't care!" laughed Aku.

"Aku, you shall do no such thing!" said Jack.

"Make me" laughed Aku.

Jack ended up preparing for battle against Aku to save the Floating Island.
