Ch.3: Capture of the Typhoon
Things were pretty peaceful aboard the Blue Typhoon, until that is the alarm started to blare. Tails imedately went to work searching for the disturbance and gasped when he saw a gaint, red Metarex command ship heading towards the Blue Typhoon.
"I thought we already defeated Red Pine" said Amy.
" I am not Red Pine" came an unfriendly voice from the other ship as the new foe made himself seen " I am Scarlet Snapdragon,"
Sonic and the crew nearly gasped when the saw this new enemey. This new Metarex bore a close resemblence to his name for he indeed looked like a humanized scarlet dragon.
"You and your crew tried to detsroy me once but failed " said Scarlet Snapdragon " now I will finish what I am here to do,"
Two gaint red, robotic cobras pounced out of Snapdragon's ship and swam towards the Typhoon.
"Tails!" shouted Sonic " shields up! Now!"
But the cobras reached the ship before Tails got the chance. Within secods the defenses aboard the Typhoon were disabled, allowing Scarlet Snapdragon the oppurnity he needed to climb aboard the Typhoon uninvited.
Sonic was about to charge, but the sound of screams stopped him in his tracks. The robotic cobras had grabbed Chris and Cosmo with thier heads poised and ready to strike as soon as Scarlet Snapdragon gave the word. The sight made Scarlet Snapdragon laugh.
" You how fast a cobra can strike" he said " and how deadly thier venom can be. If you try to stop me from reaching the Master Emerald both of them will die,"
"Sonic" said Amy " we have no choice. We can't endanger Chris and Cosmo,"
"But we can't let him take the Master Emerald either" said Sonic " how would Knuckles feel if we just handed over the most powerful gem in the universe to an enemy?"
"It's your choice Sonic" said Scarlet Snapdragon " the gem or your friends,"
Seeing he was in a no win situation here Sonic reluctantly slipped aside allowing the Metarex entrance into the power core. As soon the Metarex was out of earshot Sonic turned his angry, narrowed eyes at Tails.
" I'm not going to let him get away with this" said Sonic " you find a way to rescue Chris and Cosmo, I'm going after the Metarex,"
Tails nodded showing that he understood as Sonic raced off to stop the Metarex from stealing Knuckles Master Emerald. But when he got there Scarlet Snapdragon was already lifting up the Master Emerald in his hands.
" To late Sonic" said Snapdragon " the Master Emerald is finally back where it belongs,"
A green light suddenly filled the room blinding Sonic for a bit. When the hedgehog regaining his sight both the Metarex and the Master Emerald were gone.
Scarlet Snapdragon materlized back on his ship with his prize and called for his two cobras to release Cosmo and Chris. The two snakes released them and formed together to make circular portal.
As Scarlet Snapdragon's ship turned to face the portal a net of grappling claws braced themselves onto the metal structure of the now completely powerless Typhoon. So as Scarlet Snapdragon's ship went through the portal the Blue Typhoon had no choice but to follow.
Sonic and the gang had been captured by the Metarex.
