Happy belated New Year everyone and how are you all? We'll I had been doing some things with my new friend and she had been trilled to heard about my work on this fiction. But unfortunately, she would rather be my own personal fan than someone to help come up with any ideas for this fic (Which is fine since I got it all covered in my membrane). With that out of the way, I would like to do a bit of a recap. Tails had recovered from his coma and he had been lead to his friends and Rouge, though they were devastated by the many things their enemies had done behind their backs. Good thing Rouge had told the heroes about her and the G.U.N.'s plan to retrieve Sonic and it would have to involve the rest of their global allies. Get ready to hear more about this plan and the whereabouts of Sonic as you read this exciting chapter!
"Operation Free Sonic!?" everyone said in unison after hearing the bat's master plan.
Rouge the Bat is dead serious about this plan since she had been watching the Legion's every move and thought about the odds of them targeting Sonic at one point to give themselves one less obstacle in their way.
"That's right guys, we had fully devised this plan just in case Sonic would be targeted, in which we knew from some footage that Opa Opa managed to record for us. He luckily followed them silently until they had reached their destination, which is where we would eventually wait in the jungles of Mystic Ruins until you guys would reach us. The G.U.N. Commander though that the plan itself wasn't needed and we could perfectly handle the situation. Then I had argued that we need the help of the other heroes to take on the Legion at full force. Then I had reminded him of all the times he had saved our planet on many occasions from the Space Colony Ark mission to thwarting the Deadly Six's plan of absorbing our world's life energy. So in a way, we aren't allowed to make a single move unless we retrieve Sonic from the Legion's clutches and prepare for our final counterstrike," the optimistic bat explained.
Jack had calmed down from his tearful outburst earlier and listened closely since helping his new friends win this fight was something he wanted to figure out. Both Amigo and AiAi were now moving closer to Tails and NiGHTS to hear more about this huge operation that their military allies were planning next.
"I would like to now more details of what the villains are planning to do next, especially in regards to Reala since I know that he isn't up to any good," the purple Nightmaren said.
"Since all three of my spies are finding the remaining hero groups that are heading to their respective destinations, I can't really say or tell you what's going to happen. But I can however have them send us some radio signals for you to get a glimpse of which warship is executing their next move," Rouge replied.
She took out a walkie talkie and turned it on to speak with all of her mechanical allies for assistance. She spoke as a silently as possible into the device since this was classified information and she could tell that they might be near enemy forces at the moment. During this process, Tails decided to descend onto a nearby seat and rest from his hovering for the past eight minutes. NiGHTS crosses his legs during mid flight and pondered his thoughts about the answers that his group would get. Orta had stood to stretch her back with one arm up, knowing that she had sat in the same seat for a while and she's ready to prepare for her next move. Rouge had hung up the walkie talkie and gazed at her fellow heroes to let them know that she's ready to talk.
"Alright, listen up and open your ears! I would like you all to know everything that some of my spies had gotten out of their missions. Omochao had informed me that Ramirez's squad is heading towards Outrun Bay with a "special creature" to cause trouble in the pier. That said creature is something that Ecco the Dolphin had known for a while and she's quite the dangerous beast from what he had recorded," she said out loud.
"Outrun Bay? Isn't that one of the many cities that we had raced in before? That is pretty insane if they are planning to attack a popular vacation area with countless innocent people that want to enjoy themselves," Tails said in shock.
"I'm afraid she's right Tails, I'll be damned if they are doing this on purpose for the sake of distracting Amy's group and using that time to search out the next Chaos Emerald. Good thing I was able to finish off Death Adder before he was able to cause any harm, but that doesn't mean that there aren't countless dangerous villains left to smite," Gilius said after stroking his beard.
"Opa Opa said that he wants to go after Shadow's group since he knew that Mishaela and the others would head for the Curien Mansion. One of their members, The Magician, is planning to return to his home for "personal reasons" as he had put it. Not to mention that Opa Opa's fully revived father O-Papa was last seen following their ship and he's curious about what his next move is," Rouge continued.
"Eeek eeek aaaaaeeeeuuuk?" the curious monkey asked soon as he heard "that name".
Amigo didn't know who they were talking about at first, until he had remembered that familiar colorful ship racing with him in the Sunshine Tour. His eyes had quickly converted to stars and he jumped like a Mexican jumping bean to cheer his racing rival on, which even startled the female dragon riders across from him.
"Is there something wrong with him or does he always get this excited?" asked the surprised Azel.
Her silver haired daughter however laughed at him and felt glad that he wasn't as emotionally hurt as he was when "fighting" with his simian friend.
"To answer your question guys, that is the same Opa Opa that we knew and loved from the first Sega All Stars Racing Tournament. It is even surprising to know that he is willing to get directly involved with the G.U.N. of all people," the young fox said after chuckling.
One of the G.U.N. soldiers scowled at Tails's last remark, though Rouge glared at the young man so that he won't let his anger get the best of him.
"Lastly, AGES said that he is watching Reala's ship to see if he could see anything out of the ordinary. Despite the fact that they won't be going anywhere since the other two warships are doing the emerald hunting for them and they have nothing left to do. This is where he could get some valuable information out of these guys or even see who these Rin Sisters are since other recordings had shown some Legion members talking about them," said the clever bat.
"AGES? I would least expect that crazy VMU with the transforming machine to have a serious mission. I bet he's really enjoying the view of the skies during the entire flight since he's not really restricted to racing tracks," NiGHTS said in a joking manner.
"You want to know something else really funny? A certain blue friend of ours had robbed the Legion of all their Master Emerald shards," Rouge said with a smug grin.
Soon as Tails heard that statement, he grew confused since the only blue friend he knows is Sonic and nobody else.
"Blue friend? Are you referring to Omochao? Even though I doubt he would be able to do that with his small frame and lack of defensive options," said the curious fox.
"Actually I was talking about Chaos, since he was reawakened by the shattering of the Master Emerald. It was a good thing he knew that recollecting these pieces was his true mission and he had recently teamed up with that knucklehead lately," she said before giggling.
Soon as he heard that, he felt like he couldn't move his body after that and slightly shivers in shock. Both Amigo and AiAi grew concerned for Tails's sudden lack of reaction after Rouge's statement. The maraca wearing monkey tried to budge his foxy friend's shoulder to snap him out of it with a sad face.
Chaos had been freed again? Not only that, he actually managed to retrieve the Master Emeralds shards and made things easier for Knuckles. But I still have a bad feeling about this since he might be doing this for other reasons.
"Is there something wrong Tails? Is this Chaos guy someone who shouldn't be trusted?" Ali asked.
"Actually, he's a creature as opposed to a guy and he's seriously someone that shouldn't be underestimated. He used to be a very peaceful guardian that had protected the Chao and Chaos Emeralds many years ago and Tikal had befriended him around that time period. In other words, he's the original Emerald Guardian before our friend Knuckles," Tails explained.
"The original protector of the Chaos Emeralds? I knew that these are gems of such unimaginable power, but I never knew that these said gems were guarded by a powerful creature like that!" Gilius exclaimed.
"How powerful is this creature and why should we be worried about what happens with Knuckles?" said the curious Nightmaren.
"He's actually quite the threat from what the G.U.N. told me since they record data of anything that goes on in this very world and I do keep track of every last bit of it. He managed to collect all seven emeralds to become Perfect Chaos and nearly destroyed Station Square, which was until Super Sonic managed to defeat him. Despite this, he was fully able to come back at a volcano where we would defeat him for the second time at base form. Me and the other officers are unsure about whether we should fully trust him or not at the moment," Rouge said while thinking about Knuckles.
Jack Frost pondered his snowy head about this blue creature that the others were talking about and the first thing that came to mind was a demon called Satan.
"Hee, is this Chaos guy a demon? Ho, I do wonder if he could be related to a certain high level demon I know!" he gleefully said.
"Jack, I highly doubt Chaos came from the same place as you since you're technically a canon foreigner. Based on what Tails had described, he's more a long the lines of a god instead of a demon," Azel said.
"That's right Azel, Chaos is indeed the God of well….. Chaos given his connection with the emeralds and ancient background. Sonic himself couldn't deny that he was quite the tough beast to fight due to his sheer power," Rouge said casually.
"From recent recordings that we had seen with Rouge, he didn't really show any signs of hostility and he cooperates with her red friend very well instead of acting like his usual self. So at this point, we should just be more concerned about what happens to the other groups before we have our soldiers bring them back here," said the female G.U.N. guard.
Tails felt like he can trust Rouge and the G.U.N., but felt that they may be doing this for other reasons instead of truly being concerned for Sonic's help. He does know what they stand for, but couldn't really feel like he can believe them considering their more questionable acts in the past. One of these acts was most notably when Sonic was sent to Prison Island years ago, despite Shadow being the real culprit at that time. But he really did want Sonic to return safe and sound and hope nothing serious is happening to him while he's under their treacherous claws.
"Despite knowing how you guys had kept your eyes on these black-hearted cretins, it is good to know that there is a world police like you to help us out on our mission to retrieve Sonic. At this point, we shouldn't really worry about the Chaos Emeralds any more since our allies have the most when compared to the Legion. I'm pretty sure that we will manage to earn them somehow instead of giving in to their next dirty trick," Ali said valiantly.
"We had fought well enough for now and resting is our only option. All that's left to do is to wait for the rest of our allies to arrive here and get ready to take our friend back by force," Gilius said before heroically raising his axe.
Everyone had clapped in response to such great words from their strongest allies as Rouge listened to her walkie talkie for more status updates. Tails finally give in and decided to clap along with the rest of his allies with some fire left in his belly, for which is that hunger for victory.
"Sonic, we will be there to save you!" he said with a smile.
Meanwhile, the many villains weren't very happy with a certain member for screwing up with the duty of keeping their stolen Master Emerald Shards safe and failing to tell them about this until now. Raidou and Mishaela where emitting a scary amount of dark aura as they approached the angry Purge, who was the one responsible for losing the shards to the amorphous protector of the emeralds.
"After all this time, that we had spend collecting these shards and dropping these Subspace Diffusion Bombs, you are now telling us that you had lost them? This is one of the main reasons why we should have never trusted you from the start despite your good use of technology," the angry sorceress said.
Purge was standing with his fists clenched without fear since he had his reasons for holding back and giving his aggressor what he had wanted.
"I had no choice but to do so and it was better that having to dance my way out of that situation. That creature was waaaaaay out of our league and who knows what it could have done if it kept following us," he said in a defensive manner.
"You are nothing but a weakling for letting those shards gets away from our grasps and I could have at least gave it my all to fend it off if I were you," the demonic fighter replied.
Purge looked over at Satan who was nonchalantly looking into a horned mirror with a scowl on his face.
That bastard! I've told him not to tell the others about this at all! He and I will never look at each other the same way again after this.
Master Zik couldn't help but to shake his head in disbelieve since there would be no way for them to focus on recovering those stolen shards since the ship is set course for the Curien Mansion already.
"It appears that there's nothing to be done about this. Despite that young man's faults, we have more important manners to deal with like getting at least more than one of those emeralds. At least we are one step to close victory since my greatest student managed to defeat Sonic for us and we will even get to see him soon," he said after bumping his staff against the ground.
"Things are getting rather interesting now that infernal blue hedgehog is captured. I would love to personally greet his face in the most violent way possible when seeing him like I'll do with the Centurion," Neff said with a devious grin.
Purge was already grabbed and shaken like a madman by Raidou as Mishaela watched the crazy haired screw-up suffer the consequences. Balder had spent most of his time relaxing with nothing but his Umbran Witch daughter in mind since he's wondering when he finally meet her. He paid no attention to the situation at hand since he would rather get even more excited about the idea of having his rematch with Bayonetta.
Where ever you are my sweet child Cereza, I will finally find you and make sure you pay dearly for killing me in the past. No one can escape the all knowing Right Eye of the Lumen Sages.
Zomom was too busy feeding on a bag of donuts to even care about the situation since he's the type of Zeti that never wants to run on an empty stomach.
"So the blue hedgehog had been captured? Well at least that's one thing that we managed to do and I really hope that I get to see what he tastes like in the end," he said while his mouth was full of chewed up donuts.
The massive screen slowly lowered itself from the ceiling as every villain had looked it to expect their leader to give them some good news. It was none other than the pompous Dr. Ivo Robotnik, who had an obviously huge grin on his face due to Nack and Zavok's successful capture of his long time nemesis. Even more monitors had appeared from the ceiling to reveal the other leaders of the Legion of Subspace like Bowser, Wily, Nefarious, Bad Boon, and Dr. Z respectively to greet their fellow members. Both Bowser and Wily had laughed like crazy while Dr. Z and Bad Boon did a slight chuckle to much of their comrades' glee. This is where things were going to take a shocking turn for all of them.
"Good evening, fellow evil doers! I'm pretty sure that all of you had heard the news of Sonic's defeat at the hands of my well trusted assassins, but I have something very special for you guys to do. The thing is, I just want you guys to see what happened to the blue scum and explain everything that our allies Nack and Zavok had done to achieve their mission. This is something that I want all three groups to do and you guys are lucky ones to have your fun first," he explained in detail.
In a sudden green flash, the downed hedgehog appeared before everyone in this very room. Max D. Cap dropped his hot dog and Zomom gazed at his long time snack that was kneeling in pain. Raidou had dropped the helpless Rhythm Rogue leader and focused on the wounded animal that gasps before him. Mishaela had turned around to get a good look at the hero himself while Satan finally gets a glance at him now that his hair is fully checked. Zik giggled as he hops onto the top of his wooden staff to stand above his nemesis. Zazz had showed up right on time after blowing off some steam from that humiliating reveal that his pink haired target had done last week.
"Hey guys, what's the latest on the…."
The pink Zeti had seen the one he had always wanted to violently beat and did a slightly disturbing chuckle when having his usual dark thoughts. He slowly started to approach him with the nastiest grin on his face, until Father Balder had telekinetically held him back with his holy magic.
The impatient Zazz had glared at him and yelled, "The hell is you doing to me? Can't you see that I'm trying to get back at that blue rodent?"
The Lumen Sage had smiled and did a low pitched chuckle in response to the brash Zeti's words.
"Do you see that Eggman need to explain some things first, you foolish demon? We all do have to know what our prisoner had gone through before exacting your little revenge," he said in a calm tone.
Neff had transformed back into his Rhinoceros Man form in a poof of smoke to prepare for the moment he had been waiting for.
"Now before you stand the one obstacle in our way that is now reduced to nothing but a worthless, slow Skipsqueak. With the help of Nack's new weapons, Sonic is in a weakened state that renders his super speed and strength useless. And it's all thanks to the help of Eggman's genius inventions to make this possible," Bowser said with his arms crossed.
"Like the old Koopa King had said, Sonic is too slow and weak to defend himself for as long as we rule this pitiful planet. That means no more Super Sonic, no more Spin Dash, no more Homing Attack, no more Sonic Wind, no more Light Speed Dash, and no more Quick Dash for him! Ahahahahahahahahahaha!" said the maniacal Dr. Nefarious before laughing.
"With Sonic out of the picture, the Chaos Emerald hunt would be much easier and there will be only fewer powerful heroes that could pose as a threat to us. Some of those said heroes were foolish enough to leave their own homes so that we could snatch them behind their backs with the help of our army. But the chances of them actually posing a threat to our superior army is low since I doubt that they could even form one par with ours," Dr. Wily said while twiddling with his moustache.
Eggman just couldn't get over the fact that he's so close to winning and that his nemesis is fully wounded with no way out of his trapped rat status. Sonic himself tried his best to raise his body and try to escape, but his body had felt like there's so much weight on his shoulders. He managed stand on his two feet despite all of the struggling, but sank to his knees like a rock due to the excruciating pain that he was in. Just the sight of the Blue Blur struggling before them was enough to make the surrounding villains and their leaders laugh around him in a full circle.
Tails, I'm sorry that it had to come to this. I hope you and the others will come here and save me.
"Now you guys get have you fun with Sonic while we get to watch him suffer in the most amusing ways possible. I better see some good blows done to my nemesis or else I'll quickly pass it to the other groups for more entertainment," Eggman sneered.
After the doctor's grim words, Father Balder decides to deactivate his magic and let the crazed purple Zeti have his fun with Sonic. Zazz had finally dashed towards his defeated blue nemesis with a psychotic look and the most sinister giggle you would her form him.
"Here I come, because I had been saving this special beatdown for your sorry ass!" he shouts before body slamming his foe very hard.
Sonic had let out a loud yell from the pain of the severe attack and widened his eyes is excruciating surprise. This alone made the egg shaped scientist laugh him round butt off from the sight of his long time enemy suffering before his blue shades.
"Ohohohohohohohohoho! That's my boy Zazz, have fun with him and show me how much you had learned from your last encounter with him!" he said.
The other leaders had laughed as they watched the bloodthirsty Zeti giving Sonic the most brutal beating he had ever received. Within each blow, Sonic could feel even more pain compared to how he would normally feel it as the maniacal Zazz keep beating him. Suddenly, he could stop feeling pain and he glanced at his aggressor with his already weak eyes. Zazz appears to be charging a purple energy blast in his right hand and he gave him the most sinister laugh in history.
"Hey purple punk! Let someone else have their chance to pummel that blue rodent" Bowser shouts in annoyance.
Zazz heard the Koopa King's order and stepped away from the beaten hero with a smug grin.
"You were lucky that I didn't get to finish you off, hedgehog," he said in exhaustion.
Before Sonic could say a word, he is now being electrocuted by an unseen force with powerful volts traveling throughout his already tired body. Turns out that it was Purge doing this nasty trick all along, since he was already mad for his identity being exposed by Ulala.
"Serves you right for coming in between me and the Rhythm Rogues, you little cretin! I know that you are friends with Ulala and there's no doubt that the report was your idea all along," he said while gazing at the bright electricity before him.
Sonic screamed at the same amount of volume he did when he had a similar type of torture as Super Sonic before Eggman had freed Dark Gaia. Satan nonchalantly walked beside the crazy haired rogue turns his device off since he wanted to join in on the torture.
"What the hell was that for? I wasn't even finished yet!" he said after angrily removing his goggles.
"Keep in mind that there are many other members waiting to give Sonic his well deserved beatdown. So we have to take our turns as fast as possible so he can finally be imprisoned by our fair leaders," he said with his red eyes set on Sonic.
The demon lord had slowly stepped towards Sonic's body and gave him a silent look as he slowly looked up at his horned offender. The hedgehog had noticed something different about his expression as it seems he is attempting to give him sympathy given his secret alliance with Ulala. Despite his love for her and this strange look that he gave Sonic, he realizes that he shouldn't betray his fellow members right now and at a latter date.
I'm sorry it had to be this way Ulala, but I have no choice to be to do what I'm told at this point. It's such as shame that your friend didn't give it his all when avoiding the claws of our Subspace Assassins.
He had reached out his hand at Sonic and slowly gathered enough power to prepare his quick and painful punishment for the hedgehog. Every other villain in the room, including the angered Purge, watched closely as the flames started to spread from the green haired demon's hands.
"Get ready to feel the wrath of the future ruler of Puyo Land, Sonic!" he said in a serious tone.
He eventually had fired a blast of hellish flames at Sonic's body and his blue victim had screamed even louder than before compared to his last bit of torture. He rolled around on the ground in a helpless manner as the flames engulfed his tiny body, leaving Master Zik to deal his fair share of pain. The wise Zeti spin his wooden staff and clangs it against the ground to summon a series of iron balls above his body. Each spiked ball fell upon the hedgehog's body to deal even more pain to his body as the Deadly Six founder cackles in sadistic glee.
"Now this is a painful lesson that you shall deserve for ever making a mockery of the Deadly Six. Brash hedgehog, how does it feel to be the on losing for once?" Zik said with a witty look.
It wasn't long until Mishaela casts a spell of dark magic to engulf the blue hedgehog and severely scar his body before everyone's eyes. Wily had broken into his trademark laugh at the sight of Sonic enduring this amount of torture while Nefarious slowly did a mechanical grin to enjoy the show.
"Now this is exactly what I want to that annoying Ratchet and Clank, but seeing the hedgehog suffer the same fate before these black and red screens are good enough for me," he said while watching Neff getting ready for his turn.
The massive rhinoceros-like creature slams his heavy shoulder onto the hedgehog's head to slam him onto the hard ground and prepares to deal a deadly stomp. Soon as Dr. Z witness the purple behemoth deal the damage, he slowly made a wide grin while thinking about his prehistoric army doing the same thing to his enemy's prehistoric reptiles.
"If only those dinosaur using brats can be here right now so that my all powerful dinosaurs would crush theirs like they're mere weak fossils," he said before laughing.
Now Sonic's entire body is charred and bruised from his previous beatings, but things weren't over yet since a few more of the villains in the room didn't dish out there pain. The first one to step up was a familiar obese yellow foe that stood above him with a wide evil grin and piles of saliva pouring from it. The clear drool dripped on Sonic's back and prompts him to turn around for the hungry Zeti to stare him down.
"I'll make sure to crush you body like I should have done a long time ago. Get ready to be tenderized like a big slab of meat" he said while raising both of his arms into the air above his blue foe.
The Blue Blur is now subject to series of heavy blows due the greedy Zeti's hunger for pain and misery for these next few minutes. Raidou then shoved Zomom out of the way since he had been waiting to deal some brutal blows to a certain someone for a while.
"Hey, you can't do that! I wasn't even…"
The demonic fighter glared at his fat comrade with a serious face, prompting him that his turn to commit hedgehog violence was officially over. Zazz beckoned his fellow Deadly Six member to give him some room so that the whole thing could be over soon. The red eyed traitor stepped above the hedgehog's weakened body and watched as he struggled to move from his brutal beatings. Without a bit of sympathy, he stomped on Sonic's right arm and began to severely beat his head and back with his own bare hands. Dr. Bad Boon may have been the type of villain who wanted to make others miserable; this was a bit too much for him to watch as he cringed from each of Raidou's bone crushing blows. He had finally stopped the beatings and steps aside to give the demon Max D. Cap a chance to reenact what he really wants to do for Chuck D. Head.
"Now for some serious hedgehog cooking, courtesy of everyone's favorite bone breaker!" he said with his arms out stretched.
He starts to form various afterimages that would completely surround Sonic for the sake of confusing him. After all the wounds and burns he had experienced, Sonic is still attempting to get up and try to escape the demon's wrath.
I can take so much more of these attacks, but my body is too weak to stand anything else. Either Eggman had lost his sense of compassion or he seriously wants me to be dead. I'm glad that Tails and the others weren't here to see this.
"Time to feel the heat, hedgehog!" Max shouts.
Every afterimage of the fat demon started to fire a series of flaming balls at the hedgehog from every direction, engulfing his entire body in flames again. Sonic's screams of agony alone were enough to have almost every villain in the room and on the screens cheer their hotheaded ally on. Max then walked away after every after image disappeared and made way for one of their strongest members of this squadron, Father Balder, to slowly stand towards the flaming hedgehog. The older Lumen Sage would rather have most of his power saved for Bayonetta and wanted to dish out one of his weakest attacks to avoid killing the hedgehog. He then raised his right arm into the air and started to gather holy light onto it to prepare for his next attack.
"Think of this as a message for Cereza from her father to let her know that I'm serious about seeing her pretty face again," he said while making a sly smirk.
The last thing the hedgehog would expect is getting slashed on his chest by this sage's powerful swipe and to feel his entire body giving up on him after that. Everyone had clapped their hands in approval after the holy man had stepped back to his seat on the other side of the room. Sonic is now on the ground lying on his back, in severe pain and breathing really hard from the abuse he had received from the Legion. Everyone had looked around to see if there was anyone else who didn't get a chance to lay their hands on the hedgehog's body as the leaders had chatters among themselves.
"Is there anyone else that didn't get to have a try? Because at this point, I would like for him to be transferred to another ship since Nack and Zavok are growing a bit too impatient. But I can't blame them since they really want their reward money soon," said the spherical doctor.
"There is The Magician, but he said to not bother him until he's back at the mansion. I bet that he must be really homesick if he doesn't want to have this much fun," Mishaela said before rolling her eyes.
"There's one more member left and he had being sitting towards the wall whole time. Foolish king, step out of the corner and deal the final blow for us!" Raidou bellowed.
King Dedede had been sitting away from the group the whole time since violence is one of those things that he didn't like. Sure the unruly king did want his enemies like Kirby to be pulverized, but not to brutal abuse them while they are barely in a state of living.
"You guys can just go ahead and do it for me because I'm not in a good mood. I'd rather save the beating for Kirby instead of doing it against someone who I don't even know that well," Dedede said with sweat pouring from his head.
"Quit fooling around, you scaredy penguin! Everyone has to do their fair share of pummeling and you are the only one left to do so since that Magician creature is acting a bit stubborn for his own good," Bowser demanded.
"You better do as your superior demands or else you'll suffer the same fate as Lan Di and what happened to him wasn't that pretty. So put that massive mallet of yours to some great use and deal the final blow to Sonic!" Wily said in an irritated tone.
The King of Dreamland had no choice but to gulp and step out of his seat to do as he's told. He had grabbed his sacred hammer and slowly stepped towards the defeated hedgehog. Mishaela and Neff made sure to keep an eye on him the entire time since they are serious about their cowardly comrade doing his part of the Sonic beating. Father Balder glanced over at him since he's truly curious about the situation, though he doesn't really care about whether his ally gives up or obeys their superiors. He is visibly shaking the entire time since this is against what he really wants to do and doesn't like to be forced to do so. Satan looked at him the entire time with a worried look since he can already understand what he's going through, but wouldn't want to blow his cover and save him.
You do realize how serious these guys are about treason, so doing what they say is your only option and just hit the silly hedgehog already.
The five foot tall king stood above Sonic with his star embedded mallet ready and raises it above his head to deal a heavy blow. He had his teeth clenched in fear and many sweat particles dripped from his face as his heart beats at a very dramatic tempo. He struggled to raise it a bit further for the final swing to much of Purge and Max's annoyance.
"Go on, it's just one heavy swing! The faster you get it over with, the better it is for Sonic to reach me," Eggman said while doing an impatience gesture.
"Pipe down, Eggface! I need some concentration in order for me to get through with this!" Dedede shouts.
Raidou had enough for the penguin's complaining and clenches his fists in anger whilst gathering even more of this dark aura at the same time.
"If you don't hurry up and do as they say, then I'll make sure to crush you where you stand!" he demands.
This is the point where this will go downhill petty fast with Dedede's allegiance to the League of Subspace. Dedede charges some bright red energy in his hammer and aims it directly towards the arrogant Mugen Tenshin traitor's body. Satan did a sly smirk since he knows where this is going and thinks of something quick to do while it happens.
"No one tells me what to do when I don't want to. Now shut that ugly dark face of yours!" he shouts while launching a powerful blast at Raidou's body.
The blast had knocked the man's body against the wall very hard too much of everyone's shock and Dedede had pulled out his Dedede phone to call his loyal subjects.
"Bandana Dee, we are not working with these Subspace Sociopaths anymore more and we are about to hunt for Kirby ourselves!" he shouts into the mobile device.
"That cowardly fat bastard! Everyone, make sure that this traitor doesn't escape our grasps!" Mishaela demands while Zomom and Max D. Cap prepares to attack him.
Dedede took a deep breath and sucks a ton of air to inhale both of his aggressors, reeling them in for a deadly beatdown with his hammer.
"Now for the grand finale, Dedede Blast!" he shouts while launching a massive skull faced bomb at his foes.
Both Zomom and Max were launched against Neff and Zazz, who were attempting to save their allies. The purple rhino had glared at the king who was charging dead for the exit and transforms into his fleshy beast form through a puff of smoke.
"If you think you can escape the Legion alive, then you've though wrong!" said the fleshy creature while baring his fangs.
He started to launch multiple fleshy replicas of his head at Dedede in an attempt to stop him. Luckily the king had some spare Gordos to launch at each head and prepared to inhale the entire creature. The fleshy monster that Neff had become was eventually engulfed by the whirling vortex in Dedede's mouth and he launched it the pursuing Zik and Purge. The massive star then crashed into the two of them and become the defeated creature whose dead flesh would fully engulf the two. Father Balder creates a portal of holy light to summon a few angels that block the entrance, though the king was smart enough to crush the door and kill them with his newly improved Hammer Spin. This caused Father Balder to glare at him and watch as the king turns around with the smuggest grin on his face.
"So long suckers, I won't be seeing the likes of you guys anymore!" he said before running off at full speed.
Everyone in the entire room, except for Father Balder, were singlehandedly defeated by the king's surprising treachery as all five leaders were in shock from it.
"Is everyone alright? Did that blue fat coward cause too much trouble for you all?" Dr. Nefarious asked.
"He had us fooled alright and I knew that he was holding in that much strength soon as I saw him. Now if only we can hunt him down and make him pay dearly," Zik said after pulling himself out of Neff's rotting flesh.
"Everyone had given it their all except for Satan since…"
Purge had cut the sorceress off and pointed to the green haired demon's empty seat with a pink slip on it. Soon as she seen it, she started to get really angry in response and yells.
"Mishaela, what seems to be the problem?" Wily asked.
"That plump ruler wasn't the only one who had betrayed us and it appears that we had lost two valuable members of the Legion," she said while looking at her glowing fist.
While Sonic's body had been severely beaten by the Legion of Subspace members, it appears that both Satan and Dedede had quit in response to their cruelty. Now this is the one moment where Eggman had expressed feelings from calmness to rage since anyone that dared quit this operation while things were getting good are officially dead to him and everyone else felt the same way.
Tails now knows more about the Legion's next set of plans and more about this Operation Free Sonic that the G.U.N. had in mind. They also know that Chaos had spawned as a result of the Master Emerald's destruction and joined forced with Knuckles for the rest of his journey. It appears that the Legion had more traitors and these guys actually managed to escape the place alive unlike poor Land Di. Dedede and possibly Satan had tricked the Legion and left them after the former was hesitating to harm Sonic unlike his fellow members. Sonic himself isn't that lucky since you guys had to endure up to paragraphs and dialogue of him being tortured by these vile villains. What's going to happen to the traitors and Sonic will be heard of in next week's chapter. Tune in next time for Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace until then, Big Red out! *shuts down screen*
