Previously on Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed, Amy's group had discovered Bayonetta and grow to get used to being around her. Meanwhile, they catch Gamma spying on them and attacked him on sight. Amy defended him before he gained even more damaged and told them that she knew him. Whether this robot's life is going to be spared or not, will be explained in this exciting chapter.
Everyone was still in shock about Amy's last statement and stood speechless while breathing heavily to stand their ground.
"Thanks … for saving me…. Amy. Damage status, critical… commence deactivation,"
The weakened robot said to Amy's surprise. Gamma had fully collapsed due to the sustained damage he had gained from Bayonetta's Wicked Weave technique and his eyes went blank to show death. Amy turned and frantically checked him to see if he were alright, with a look of despair and sadness.
"Mr. Robot, please don't die on me. Someone can fix you and you'll be good as new," she said.
Gear actually started to feel sorry for Amy when he had noticed her sobbing quietly. The rest of the group themselves even started to feel some remorse for their wrongful acts on this innocent robot that had a history with her. He walked even closer to observe the crying pink hedgehog and the "dead" robot. He studied the robot's body to see what went wrong with it and noticed that his visor is dark as the Ninteldo Army's hearts. He turned back to his group to see if anyone could help out at the moment.
"Hey, which one of you are good with Mr. Robot? Anyone is an expert on his species?" he shouts.
Alex Kidd decided to step up since he seems to be the one that the blue haired warrior is referring to while the others still stood in their respective spots.
"Since I do be upgrading my vehicles every now and then, I think I can help him at this time. His system should be too hard to navigate since he could have the same circuiting as my Sukopako Motorcycle," he responded.
Amy wiped her tears away and looked back at him upon hearing his words. She actually started to feel a little better since the group is correcting what they've done wrong.
"You mean … you might be able to fix him?" she said in a voice of hope.
Alex Kidd nodded in approval with his trademark smile and gave her a thumbs up. This led Amy to run up to the brown haired boy and hug him in thankfulness. This caused him to smile and laugh a little since making her happy actually made him feel less guilty. Clippen and Billy hi fives to celebrate this victorious moment while Bayonetta and Joe nodded with smiles on their faces. Within the next six minutes, Alex Kidd rewired his system and fixed any other signs of damage within his mechanical body for the sake of making Amy happy. He closed the hood on the robot's back and stepped back to see if any major results would occur. The eyes on the robot had lit up like the headlights of a starting vehicle.
He stood up as if he's rising from the dead and looks around himself to scan anything in sight. He gathered all the data possible form the people that surrounded him, including the excited Amy that awaited his "rebirth".
"Systems activated. Programs restored by Alex Kidd. Thank you all for participating in my rebirth. I would gladly assist you in your Chaos Emerald hunt at any request," he said in his usual stoic tone.
"Now that you are awake, I have a serious question to ask you Mr. Robot. How did you first meet Amy and why are you against Eggman's orders?" Billy said.
Upon his request, Gamma tried to search through his memory banks to see if he could answer the chicken warrior's request. After two minutes of data searching, Gamma did a reasoning gesture with both arms.
"Cannot search files. You request doesn't compute fully. Though, I gave up on Eggman's orders after deciding to train the Gizoid," he responded bluntly.
Billy sighed since he tried his best to learn more about this robot's past.
"Gizoid? You mean Emerl?" Amy asked.
Gamma did a nodding gesture to answer his friend's question, leading Amy to remember that this is the new model of Gamma from the time they had raised Emerl.
"Listen, Mr. Robot. I'm sorry for hurting you earlier since we all though you were the enemy. In the end, you are like the Cheshire to Amy," Bayonetta said in a serious tone.
"I too am very sorry as well since I did commence the first attack," Joe said afterwards.
"Apologies accepted. Cereza and Joe are new allies," he responded in his robotic monotone.
Bayonetta couldn't help but blush severely since a robot had basically called her by her real name.
"Now listen there, Mr. Robot. I prefer to be called by the name Bayonetta as opposed to my forbidden name. If we are going to be friends, then I suggest that you call my by the name I prefer the most," she barked.
This caused the entire group to laugh at the embarrassed witch, mostly for her threatening response to Gamma for calling her out by her true name. Amy laughed out loud the most since the big bad witch is embarrassed over a simple wrong name referral, which isn't surprising since these two didn't get along from the start.
"My apologies, Bayonetta. It won't happen again. What's the next mission for now, comrades?" he said.
"We just have to sit here and wait for Sonic's group to get here since we needed back up," Billy responded.
Gamma clenched his fists and did a battle ready pose in response to this. This led everyone to back up in surprise in case the red robot was about to get any violent.
"Negatory. I am your back up for now. We must continue the Chaos Emerald hunt as our next mission. Sonic should focus more on going to the next destination if he really wants to help," the robot said abruptly.
This didn't rub Alex Kidd the right way since he clearly promised Sonic that they would stay put until they get there.
"Wouldn't that be like disobeying his orders? He is on his way here and he wouldn't be pleased if we just leave him hanging!" he said in a panicked manner.
"I think he has the right mindset since you do have an automaton with the intelligence of a computer and a powerful witch like me in your group. So Mr. Robot is saying that you don't really need this Sonic guy's help at all," she said in her carefree tone.
"My name is E-102 Gamma or Chaos Gamma in this model. You can call me Gamma for short and only Amy has the right to refer me by the moniker, Mr. Robot," he said in a rather cold tone.
Bayonetta did a sarcastic pout in response since she would rather not get into an argument with a robot like him. This also caused Alex Kidd and Billy to giggle in response to the robot's smart remark and Bayonetta's mild pouting. She glared back at them with eyes of a witch and the face of a killer, which eventually had caused both boys to shudder in fear while shuddering slightly. Amy smiled while observing Gamma's face since its good to see a long forgotten friend like him again. Though the bigger question is why he is even spying on them from the start.
"Mr. Robot, can you tell me about what you've been doing after training Emerl so long ago?" she asked.
Gamma looked into her eyes with his yellow headlights in his visor. Unlike most robots, he is capable of expressing emotion other than anger or determination like certain "siblings" that still serve Eggman up to this day. Several of them were light hearted like Orbot and Cubot, while others were more destructive like Emerl and Metal Sonic. He tried his best to look through his data storage to give his friend the answer that she needed, since his memory is basically vague for being away from her and the rest of Sonic's friends for a while. A slight cackle could be heard from the distance, leading Gamma to turn around and scan the area for the source of that sound. Amy wondered what went wrong and looked in Gamma's direction to see what happened. Alex Kidd and the rest of the group grew cautious as well since they heard that cackle as well. Then, the sound of a machine hovering in air can be heard as it grew louder within each second. Amy had immediately frowned soon as she knew exactly who it was.
A familiar purple weasel can be seen on that aforementioned machine, cackling as his "girl" lowers towards his new targets on this fine day with his gun to his side. He laughed even louder as he noticed the number of potential targets that he has this time around. Amy clenched her hammer even tighter and could feel her heart beating out of her chest as the situation grew tenser. Alex Kidd clenched his fist in anger while Billy prepares to roll his best egg into the battlefield. Clippen squawks in anger while hopping like the feisty Egg Animal he is to show how much of a threat this intruder is.
Joe prepares his ninja weapons while looking at this new foe with the most appropriate facial expression for a bloody battle. Bayonetta sighs at the fact that she is the only person who's still not in their beach attire and the fact that she would have to fight another baddie for the second time. Gamma scans the data of the target to indentify him as the infamous sniper, Nack the Weasel, complete with the scanning blue eyes. This alone had eventually led him to transform his arms into dual blasters and prepare for a massive assault on this target.
"Target identified as Nack the Weasel. He must be hired by the Legion of Subspace for an ambush mission. Prepare to eliminate the target!" he says in a more dire robotic tone.
"We all know who he is, Mr. Robot. It's that buck toothed freak that fought Sonic in the Fighters tournament. He's going to pay dearly for his last act!" she said with her usual angry tone.
In response, Nack couldn't help but to chuckle at Amy's feisty dialogue and cocked his fedora to the side to show off his obvious arrogance.
"So you're Rosy the Rascal from that tournament that you've mentioned. It's been a while since I've last seen you and you are still bratty as always. Too bad Sonic isn't here to save you for old time's sake," he said with a smug grin.
Amy gripped the hammer even tighter and bared her teeth as if she's getting ready to smash him on sight. Gamma looked back at Amy to show some concern for her in this situation, while in turn expressing rage for Nack's intrusion.
"So, where have you been after all these years? Oh yeah, hiding like the cowardly show off that you've always been. I won't be needing Sonic this time around since I have new and powerful friends by my side," she remarked.
"By the way, where is Gear?" Billy asked.
This question will be answered soon as the group had witnessed him being chased by lanky, purple creature carrying a massive yellow object. He was shooting a flurry of stars at the speedy fighter, who in turned dodged each start and out ran him this time around. This led Amy to gasp since this creature she didn't recognize.
"Hold still, you blue haired punk. I just want you to tell me where a similar punk is since I want to pound him soon as you tell me!" he said in a crazed tone.
"You got the wrong guy, I don't know or have seen the Sonic that you're looking for," Gear said in response.
His desperate face and sweating body is a good sign that he must have ran to the other side of the island while everyone had spoken to Gamma. Gear leapt back to where Amy and the others where and a voice commands the purple creature to stop dead in his tracks.
"That's enough, Zazz. I think it's appropriate for us to introduce ourselves to Sonic's friends together," said a deep sinister voice.
The purple creature jumped back to where Nack is with the same yellow object being help above his head, hissing with the same crazed expression. Nack cackles again as the rest of his reinforcements had arrived onto the scene to much of his delight. Amy Kidd and Amy glared at Nack since they knew that things weren't going to go well. One of them is an obese, yellow creature that was just enjoying his scrumptious subway sandwich. Another is a short, pale creature that generated a negative aura and had a default depressed look.
A green, feminine creature walks in between the two while painting her nails orange and without a bit of care for her foes. A short, elderly creature hovered onto the scene with the help of his wooden staff and balances on it like a true kung fu master. Lastly, a red, demonic creature with a muscular stature and serious appearance lands onto the group from a high jump. He looks up and observes his unlikely enemies with eyes as red as blood and with the attitude of a predator. He cracks his arms and rolls his neck to show how powerful he is to this group, amusing the rest of his group and new master as well. He looks back at his master and does a bowing gesture to show his loyalty to Nack. He in return tipped his hat in a cowboy-like manner before looking back at Amy and the others.
"Say hello to the Deadly Six, a group of guys that I ran into while exploring Planet Hex for some supplies for the Marvelous Queen. I told them about how I was hired by Eggman to be his personal bounty hunter and they've told me about how he had abused them a little back. In the end, they admired my technology and decided to serve me as long as I don't harm them with a certain shell like he did to them back then. In other words, these guys want revenge against Sonic and would want to kill anyone who's involved with him. Including you bozos standing in front of me in your swimwear," he explained.
"To further elaborate on our new master's introduction, we've been building our own army and getting stronger since the day that blue runt and the fat fool had defeated us in the past. This time we are stronger than ever and we'll not only help the Legion of Subspace, but rule this entire world with their help," Zavok said in his sinister tone.
"Yeah, we've been itchin' and scratchin' to get revenge after a while and had gained many new abilities based on our exposure to your planet's energy. Also, we've managed to get our deadly machines replicated based on our enhanced memory and bloodlust," says the psychotic Zazz.
"So you were the monsters responsible for draining our home's energy and helping Eggman with those innocent animals. I'll be glad when Sonic eventually finds out and stop your new plan!" Amy shouts.
She's experiencing a more serious type of anger for the aforementioned reasons and the fact that they've ran into a more dangerous threat to face. Her heartbeat and body temperature had risen to emphasis her new found rage for the Deadly Six's past act and their new plans for world domination. Master Zik did a deep chortle to show how amused he is of the pink hedgehog's rage and determination to defeat them.
"So you must be the blue hedgehog's friends on this pitiful world. How cute, but that doesn't mean that you all won't endear a painful, hellish lesson from the likes of us," said the elderly Zeti.
"Like hell we would be defeated by such black hearted villains like you. Despite what skill you have, we shall vanquish you and Nack at all costs!" Joe barked.
The entire Deadly Six laughed at the ninja's response while Nack joined in for the sake of taunting their newfound victims, causing him and Bayonetta to glare back at them with looks of killers. Zeena flipped her hair while giving Amy a smug look since she wanted to get her attention. Her yellow and blue eyes looked into Amy's green eyes, expressing a sinister feeling that lets her know who she's dealing with.
"This one looks like she's ready for a catfight. I might as well deal with her since she looks even weaker than that handsome blue freak," she said.
Amy gained a feeling of shock as if she were shot with an arrow. Then, she eventually flew into a fit of rage that caused her to scream. That scream sounded like she was being severely attacked by even the deadliest of all robots. This even terrified Billy, Clippen, and Alex Kidd when they heard this. Bayonetta smirked in delight and Joe shook his head in disbelief to express their responses. Gamma backed away since this was the perfect time to avoid her in this state.
"If I were you, you better run away. Because if you even think about laying your hands on my Sonic, I will make sure that you pay dearly!" she shouts.
This prompted Zeena to do a snooty laugh and leap into battle with the enraged pink hedgehog. Alex Kidd noticed Zik flying at him and he leaps out of the way to avoid being rammed by the blue Zeti.
"Well young man, you look like quite the youngster to fight. This will be a lesson that I will teach to a brash brat like you," he said in a mocking tone.
Alex Kidd glares back at him and headed in his direction for payback.
"I'll make sure to defeat you once and for all, evil old man!" he shouted in anger.
Zomom stops near Billy Hatcher with the most intimidating, but dopey face in history being the voracious Zeti he is. Billy Hatcher put up his dukes as the feisty Clippen squawks in anger.
"A delicious blue birdie, a crispy chicken boy, and a juicy giant egg. The perfect meal to fight for and I'll make this fight end quickly before then," said the gluttonous Zeti.
"Do I even look like food to you, fatty? I'll crack your head open like an egg if you get any ideas!" he remarked.
The statement "fatty" caused Zomom to beat his chest in anger and do a massive burp/roar to size his ironically smaller opponent up. Gear attempted to attack Nack until a certain purple Zeti attacked him out of nowhere. He knocked to the sandy ground as the lanky Zazz walked up to him with a crazed look and lust for violence.
"You aren't goin' nowhere until you give me a good fightin'. It will make up for the fact that the damn hedgehog is nowhere to be found," he said before breaking into a psychotic snicker.
Gear glared at him and flipped back onto his feet for the fight of his life.
"You will lose when I get through with such a ruffian like you. I may not be Sonic, but I am as fast and strong as him," he said with confidence.
The two fighters got into their respective poses before clashing into a high speed battle. Joe did an attack pose as a series of shadow clones appeared around him for entrapment. The gloomy, pale Zeti steps forward while messing around with his combover hairstyle and keeping his blue rose in check.
"Sigh, another pointless fight for me to get involved in. At least you're gloomy and dark like me instead of that upbeat hedgehog," he said depressingly.
"You are wrong as your devious acts, demon. Your heart is full of darkness and gloom, which is something that I don't have," he remarked.
Zor did a deep sigh and looked side before facing his more serious opponent again.
"Who cares? As a long as this fight ends quickly," he responded.
Zavok lands in front of Bayonetta and gave her a pretty intimidating look to show that he's ready for a hellish fight.
"You must be the strongest of the group. This is going to be entertaining as your ridiculous appearance, witch," he snarled.
Being the nonchalant woman she is, she keeps sucking on her lolipop to even take him serious due to being twice as tall as him. He growled and cracks his arms before attempting to attack her on sight. She dodged it easily and shot at his back, until his new fire abilities melted the bullets that were shot. The Umbran Witch scoffs in shock and landed back on the ground as he laughs.
"You honestly think you can defeat me that easily. We weren't kidding when we said that we've gotten stronger over time. You and I might have a little fun in this exhilarating fight to the death," he said.
She countered his statement by snickering out loud, making a rather obnoxious comeback with her exotic pose.
"Stronger or not, what matters is that we will have some fun. I like strong and threatening men like you, demon," she said before licking her lips.
Lastly, Gamma hovered before the new head honcho of the Deadly Six himself, Nack the Weasel. He scanned his target to know every bit of info on this cold hearted sniper turned villainous bounty hunter.
"So you must be one of Eggman's robots, specifically the one that had turned against him," he said.
"How do you know? Did he tell you about my deleted alliance with him?" said the red robot.
"Bingo, Big Red. You are as smart as he said you were. As expected of one of the best robots invented by him," he said after chuckling.
"Nether more, you shall be eliminated at all costs by my weapons. Prepare to be defeated, Nack the Weasel!" he said in a harsher tone.
Nack chuckled again, this time sounding less sarcastic and more sinister. As usual, Gamma isn't remotely phased by anyone who intimidates him during battle.
"So be it, bucket head. Your head will be good enough since he had always wanted to destroy you for betraying him so long ago," he said.
He pulls out a new weapon, a multiple assault rifle with 2 nozzles for a situation like this. Just when things were going good, Nack the Weasel along with The Deadly Six had arrived to cause even more trouble for Alex Kidd and friends. This time, he is much more serious compared to his first encounter with Sonic and have reinforcements for his second round of hunting.
Nack is back and he's even more deadly than the last time. The pun is intended since The Deadly Six have arrived to help him defeat Amy's group. They split up to face their own respective opponent while Nack gains interest in getting the bounty from Gamma since Eggman must have informed him on his treachery. I loved Sonic Lost World so much that I couldn't resist adding these guys since they are pretty unique and strong villains. As for their personalities, it's a mixture of their American and Japanese counterparts to keep a perfect balance between comical moments and dark dialogue. We will eventually see how the overall battle goes in the next chapter. Remember to rate and review if you liked it. Chao ... err Ciao!
