Good evening! Ready to get on with this chapter, today? As a bit of a recap, The Vortex Queen would be defeated at the hands of the heroes and their new ally Ecco the Dolphin. Goodle would be the sly Nightmaren that would attempt to steal emerald from Omochao's hand with half of the Legion members going after them. But things would get better with the robot Chao defeating them with the help of the new upgrades he had received from Gamma and the dying Shogun to fail his mission. The other Legion members would know the truth of Selvaria leaving them and prepare to punish her until Super Gear would arrive and send all of them flying with his immense strength. So the Ramirez's entire group would be forced to retreat while the heroes would bask in the cheers of Outrun Bay's citizens until they would know what happened to Amy. Hold on tight boys and girls since things will get a bit heavy on the feels and new reveals!

The people of Outrun Bay cheered for the heroic efforts of their unlikely saviors and that beach were completely saved before the sun would completely set. Selvaria turned to the rows of cheers like the rest of the heroes to watch these civilians express their greatest gratitude for what happened in this peaceful area. Omochao couldn't believe the praise that everyone would be getting and he wondered what happened to Amy in the middle of all of this. Billy Hatcher gave his beloved Egg Animal a high five to express his joy of them working together to kick subspace butt again. Even then that the police officers that were there drew closer to the heroes and cheered along with the other citizens near the edge of the sandy area.

"We did it? The Legion finally retreated because of everything we've done," Sir Pepper said with his glaring modesty showing.

Alex Kidd pats the back of his knight ally and Barobaro neighs loudly due to the extra force applied on his wine bottle back.

"Yes we did, Sir Pepper. We were able to get these guys flying home to their master so that they can whine about their failure," he said in joy.

Headdy shifted his head back into his default shape and tossed it around like a professional baller to show off for his new audience. This would lead Segata to shake his head downwards since showoffs are the type of people that he find annoying.

Good, another incident had been fully prevented and they didn't resort to a Subspace Diffusion Bomb at all. If only Sonic were here to see what heroism that we had done, but he would be in some serious need of rescue now that all emeralds had been collected in some way.

Bayonetta did more of her stylish poses to attract the attention of her main fans that she gained earlier, mostly being single young men that found this fancy witch attractive since Day 1.

"Don't worry boys, there's plenty of more Bayonetta to go for everyone! My word of advice for the ladies out there is to be as showy as possible with your fashion gear," she said like any fashion model would.

Her female fans were equally as loud as her since they found her shape shifting outfit cool and found the way she killed the Vortex Queen awesome.

"Witch Girl, you were really awesome out there! If there's anything I can do for you, just give me a shout out and I'll make it happen," a blonde bikini clad girl shouts.

Bayonetta has a moment to think about the girl's words and feel that she might be a bit useful for helping them now that everything is out of the way. Ristar then noticed something suspicious getting closer to the airborne Gamma from the air and it was none other than the persistent Goodle who was hellbent on getting that cyan gem back from them.

"You guys think you've won! Well you didn't and I'll make sure to give my master his second Chaos Emerald!" he shouts as his feathery steed flew faster.

Everyone would focus their attention on the incoming Nightmaren and attempt warning the distracted robot to keep on his guard.

"Look out! Make sure that gem doesn't get stolen!" the heroes and audience shouts in unison.

Gamma would eventually turn to the pink bird heading his way and aim his gun at it to surprise Goodle.

"Nice try, low level grunt," he said before blasting them at point blank range.

This would result in dream inhabiting bird to drop to the sand after that blast and its charred face rider to roll to the side from that shot. The citizens of Outrun Bay cheered at the robot's quick reflexes and Ristar sighs in relief.

"And I think I know exactly which member he works for. Just allow me to talk with him for a bit," Selvaria said before moving Gear aside.

Joe and Alberto was able to catch the tired out Seguan warrior so that he can be held until Selvaria's done talking with their spy. Goodle noticed that his favorite ride was too wounded to even take flight again and struggled to get back to his feet. It wasn't until he would notice the angry Valkyrur walking towards him and he screams in mortal dread. He stumbled backwards as she drew closer to him with his frightening blue aura glowing and he could hear some of the spectators gossiping bout his possible fate. One thing he hear in particular was along the lines of "That little purple dude is dead meat for trying to steal that gem" and his scared face sweats to express how he feel about what would happen to him. Then he would be paralyzed by a sonar wave that would shot from afar by Ecco to make sure that he doesn't move a muscle.

"You aren't going anywhere, little guy. Just let your former subspace associate ask you a few questions," the dolphin squeaks.

Goodle struggles to move his very body while his nerves were unstable due to the sonar, leaving Selvaria to make her way towards the defenseless nightmare creature.

"You are going to do everything I say as long as I'm here. So the first thing you should do is let me speak to your master so that he can know everything I'm planning to do against the Legion later on," she said with her red eyes set on him.

The heroes drew themselves closer to her in the middle of this since it was best to keep an eye on her incase she's planning on something suspicious with this communication plan. Then Goodle would be snatched by his very collar by her hand and he would come face to face with this ticked off commander's face to sweat harder.

"Please, you can't do this do me. The master will be so displeased if I were to tell him that I failed to get him another Chaos Emerald!" he beamed before flinching in fear.

The silver haired woman would notice the device handing out of the left pocket of her captive's green uniform in the middle of this and realized how easy the situation was. She dropped her lance before snatching the device out of the pocket while still holding the small Nightmaren since he would be important for her next plan.

"You aren't going anywhere just yet since it makes sense for you to say hi to your precious boss while I contact him. Anyone who thinks they can get away from my grasp is and will always be sadly mistaken," she said in a commanding tone.

The defenseless Nightmaren still whimpers leaving Billy and Alex Kidd to laugh at him from afar since this was too funny for them to see. He really wish that he can simply get mad at them, but Goodle knew that he would most likely be harmed if he gets on the woman's bad side. His aggressor then finally found out a way to contact him due to her experience with devices like these and waits for a signal for her to speak with Reala. The device lets out a few low pitch rings as a sign that the signal is still picking itself with Ristar getting bit curious about the situation.

What is she planning on doing with that guy? Forcing him to make a deal of some sort?

Then Reala would finally answer the signal with a serious "Hello? Do you have more news about the their situation, Goodle?"

This would be the time where Selvaria would move the device over to her victim's face so he can do the talking for now.

"Master Reala, everything is doing perfectly fine. I managed to find those fools and things were as chaotic as I've expected, which would have been the time for me to snag the emerald," he said in a weak voice.

The silence that occurred for a few seconds would be a sign that the Nightmaren would be suspicious about his own underling's words and how unhinged he sound.

"Well, did you take the emerald? Or more importantly, did the heroes fail in their battle against Selvaria and Ramirez's group?" he asked.

Selvaria gives him an intimidating look since he wants him to tell him the truth without any form of lies just to go off the hook.

"Master, there indeed were some serious flaws that happened this day. For one, I tried to get the emerald only to be defeated by a mechanical Chao with some serious upgrades. Then there's the fact that the entire group except for Selvaria escaped due to their humiliating defeat thanks to that Sonic-like guy I've stole the blue emerald from," he said frantically.

This was where he would flinch again since Reala would most likely be disturbed by the news or chewing him out on failing at his one and only task for this mission. Selvaria knew that he plan would be coming into full effect thanks to telling an underling to expose his own failures. Ristar would get a bit closer to them just to hear what were the two going on about, which would prompt Billy and Alex Kidd to head in their direction.

"Very well, you've at least tried your best for now and I can understand situation well. Chances are that more reinforcements would appear to make the heroes' strengths grow in numbers like cockroaches wanting to infest an area. I'm guessing that Selvaria had been defeated and became a hostage as a part of their next foolish plan to get Sonic back," he said.

This would make Goodle sigh thankfully since he seriously thought that he would be dead for failing him again.

"Thank you for doing your part. And now for me to do mines," Selvaria said before turning the device toward her face.

"Doing your part of what? Don't tell me they've made you into a hostage!" Reala said.

"Your precious little foot soldier is only gong to be a hostage for a short period of time. I simply want him just to communicate with you before we set him free later on. What's really important is for you and I to have a little chat about what I'm doing from now on," the Valkyrur replied.

The silence that occurs after is a result of the Nightmaren's surprise over hearing Selvaria's voice demanding a talk with him. Ristar still drew a bit closer to listen to their conversation about the issue, things would truly get interesting once she managed to get a response.

"Very well, General Bles. What is it that you want me to hear, especially when you've got my nightmare brethren within your grasp?" the Nightmaren asked.

Goodle still struggles to get out of her grip and she had no intentions of letting him go just yet.

"Just like that traitor Azel, I'm also leaving the Legion for this day. After witnessing Ramirez doing something so unforgivable like harming a girl who went out of her way of healing me during the fight, I figured it was best for us to go our separate ways or simply for me to serve these heroes instead. I hope you don't have a problem with me telling you that ahead of time since I can tell the others will have to take a while recovering from their wounds before sending you a report," she said without fear.

Ristar and his nearby friends were shocked at the fact that this woman would be bold enough to tell her former allies about the fact that she's betraying them without any fear. Bayonetta, Joe, and Segata would be least surprised since a strong fighter like her wouldn't have any fear in a situation like this.

"Is she doing what I'm think she's doing?" Headdy asked with his white crest forming a question mark.

Alberto would secure Clarissa tightly in a hug since the two fear that this might result into them running into more dangerous individuals in the future and the two thought about the possibilities of them still going with the heroes. The silence would be another obvious sign that the recipient is processed this information and thinking about their former ally's words taking a risk like turning against everything the Legion stood for.

"Very well, you've made a decision to leave us on such a short notice before we were able to declare war on the heroes. But we aren't that worried since most of your soldiers are still left on the ship, leaving you completely army-less against the likes of us. If you honestly think that siding with these heroes would be enough to save you from being defeated by us in the future, then you've thought wrong. But it's a good thing that Grunty was able to send me a message about sending your men to where you are so that everything of yours is out of the ship, clothes and all. We were also close to losing a valuable member like Greedy too, but she would be smart enough to inform him about their retreat so that he would make it back through a portal. The Legion won't be needing someone like you anymore and Ramirez leading that squadron should be good enough," he said in his sinister tone.

Within a flash, a burst of magic would erupt behind the heroes and Selvaria to reveal her entire European army of soldiers being surprised about their banishment out of the Legion. The crowd would be shocked by this phenomenon and really hopped that these soldiers wouldn't plan on attacking them like the samurai and Ninteldo Forces from earlier. One soldier in particular would spot their commanding officer before them communicating with Reala and called out for her name.

"Commander Selvaria, is it true that you are no longer working with the Legion? After every order that we had followed regarding taking over worlds, what would make you change your goal for something like rebelling against them?" he said.

The police heard that man loud and clear, getting their guns ready in case they were planning something slick this time. Several citizens would grow worried now that a full army would be standing before them with their weapons and tanks ready for their next order.

"What happened in this beach is none of your business, private. Just stay where you are like the others until your next order. I'm just simply having a last few words with an ex-ally before we make our next move," Selvaria remarked.

She would eventually focus her attention on the message for the last time just to say her last words to the arrogant Nightmaren.

"Good to know that you're still as headstrong as ever, Reala. I still have my men on my side plus reinforcements to ensue that all of you will fall on the battlefield when we meet. It's a good thing that an ex-member like me can easily track down the location of Robotnik's mothership and steal Sonic once we managed to find ourselves a new ship. Besides, I would gladly take on Ramirez's group again alone once we have our little reunion in the future. Before I end this call, I'll let you know that your little imp in the suit will be set free so that he can fly back to you like a good soldier. Be prepared once we finally see each other face-to-face!" she says in a serious militaristic manner.

Then last thing she would hear before putting the device back in Goodle's pocket would be the laughing of his maniacal leader as he still shivered. The frightened Nightmaren would eventually be tossed to his wounded feathered ride by a powerful throw and bird would squawk loudly in pain before taking off into the skies. The frightened purple creature looked back at the heroes while struggling to calm down his spooked out ride to listen for his last order.

"Good bye and make sure that you tell him to be prepared for the next time we meet. Because I will be looking forward to see that smug nightmare being to show how much I care for this whole thing," Selvaria yells.

Then the freaked out Goodle would obediently maneuver his bird towards to the skies and fly as far away from his enemies as possible before anything else happened to him. The trigger happy Gamma would still be aiming his gun at him to make sure that he would keep flying to the point of no return, which would lead the Shogun into letting out a victory howl to scare the airborne Nightmaren further.

"So you simply declared war against them or were they planning to do this all along?" Ristar asked.

Selvaria looked at the curious alien in front of her and knew that she had to explain a few thing to her new allies before they depart.

"Yes and no. The Legion were planning on having a war with all of Sonic's potential allies and anyone else associated with the Chaos Emerald Hunt since the day we've agreed to this mission. So to say, this would be a back up plan in case we fail to collect all of the emeralds and Sonic were to somehow be reused. I do know where you can find him since several commanders like me and Reala were able to visit him in between our conquest of the many places in this world," she explained.

This alone would garner the interest of Joe as he carried his tired blue haired ally near the silver haired commander to gather more information on Sonic's location.

"So you know where Sonic is being held and how to get there? My biggest concerns would be how heavily guarded the place will be and what room is he being held," the concerned ninja said.

"I've been there countless times and can guarantee you that the ship is heavily armed in comparison to the ones each squadron were given and he has tons of more robots at his disposal to guard the place from the inside out. I know that there is the holding room in the third floor of the ship where every victim of the Petrifying Guns would be held and many victims from our many conquest are there. So there's no guarantee that Sonic would be held in the same room as them in his paralysis state from Nack the Weasel's improved weapons. Though the real concern would be knowing how to get there since I doubt any of you have a ship of your own to find the place," she said before looking off in the crowd.

Looking at the vehicles they had, Omochao and Alex Kidd knows that there's not enough room for Selvaria and her entire army to go in addition to the few vehicles that can't fly. Segata at times wished that there was a way for them to find a ship when his group were looking for the emerald in this beach area. Ecco would eventually notice a massive fleet of helicopters from the distance and they appear to be the right guys that everyone were looking for. But this weren't all of them since what appeared to be a ship of extraterrestrial origin followed them and it would be nearly the thrice size of your average helicopter. Everyone would notice the incoming group of vehicles as a sign that things would be a bit intense after everything that happened with the Legion.

"The G.U.N. arrived a bit too late, so why are they heading here?" a police chief said.

Omochao would eventually start stuttering as his body moved erratically as a sign that another signal would be sent into his head.

"Hey, do you have another message from Rogue or is there a slight malfunction in your system?" Billy Hatcher said.

Then the he would release a hologram from his eyes and garner the attention of the other heroes.

"What's happening? There's another holographic message from the G.U.N.?" Joe said.

"The G.U.N.? As in Gun? Are they another groups of super villains or something?" Headdy asked.

"No, they are the Guardian Unit of Nations. They act a world police for the many parts of this planet and Sonic had interacted with them plenty of times before," Alex Kidd replied.

"A world police? As in police who are far more important than the ones who are behind us?" Clarissa said in shock.

"It appears that these G.U.N. people that you are talking about are here to help out? Perhaps they might want a few questions out of our new friend since she knows how to reach Eggman's mothership," Shogun suggested.

As the G.U.N.'s fleet approached, many of the citizens gee cautious since normally they would show up if any high class crime occurred in the city and the people they were looking for are already gone.

"Excuse me, sir! Excuse me! I really need to go see how my friends are doing? I've already got the message from Rouge and it's important for me to speak to her!" said a familiar voice.

Several people knew who this person was and cleared the way as she walks through to the beach and meet up with her allies.

"Did you guys hear that? It sounds like Amy and she's alright somehow!" the excited Alex Kidd beamed.

Omochao wish he could be able to talk, but that holographic message needed to go through completely so that Rouge can talk to the others.

"Good evening Amy and gentlemen, I've heard about your efforts of defeating the Legion in Outrun Bay and I would like to thank you on your efforts of getting the last emerald. Say, where is that pink rascal and what's with all these new faces?" the sassy bat said.

The new heroes that recently teamed up with Amy's group would be confused at the sight of the G.U.N. agent's appearance from the projection while Billy and Alex waited patiently for Amy to appear from the crowd. The long waited appearance of their missing partner finally appeared from in between a pair of families and she looked in both directions with her hammer in hand. Both of her friends became teary eyes within seconds once they saw their friend successfully nursed back to health an she would be able to witness the lack of villains while she was gone.

"Amy! You're back in good health!" they both cried.

Rouge would focus her attention in their direction to see just the right person she was hoping to talk to and the rosy rascal would see both of her friends crying tears of joy at her recovery.

"Alex! Billy! There you are!" she shouts before running in their direction.

Joe and Gear would be relieved at their friend being back in good health with the former struggling to hold his old body up with his two legs. Bayonetta would notice the situation and flies over to the others' spot in her Crow Within form for a warm reunion. Rouge smirked at the situation since she's seeing another example of how inseparable friends are once they go on a long journey with each other. Then the pink hedgehog finally met the two boys and hugged them really hard to show them some love after an hour worth of separation. Then Gear and Joe lifted the three of them to continue their group hug and got lifted by the strong Bayonetta to enjoy this friendly embrace. Segata's entire group watched as these group of friends would hug each other to express how worried their were of Amy's safety after her shocking defeat at the hands of Ramirez.

Selvaria couldn't help but to smile since she was glad that she is alright after what her former lover did.

Good, Miss Rose is fine with little serious side effects. With bandage still wrapped around her body and he walking normally, I wonder who's the one that healed her.

Clarissa cried into her boyfriend's shoulder just to express how happy to see that they were able to prevent a life from being lost. Ristar wiped a glittery tear that came from his eye since he was glad that they managed to do a favor for her in hopes that she wasn't in limbo forever. It wasn't until the two Virtua Cops appeared in better condition when the entire group of police officers cheered since these elite cops weren't arriving at Death's door any time soon.

"Good job, officers! It was a good thing that your lives were fine and we didn't lose out one a few of the good law enforcers we have. But who was the one that healed you? We all know that your average hospital personal can't perform that much of a miracle," a nearby cop said.

Ash hopped out of his Hell Wheel and ran to where the officers to give Hardy a painful slam on his back. The latter appropriately screamed in pain as the emotional skeletal bunny stood before them.

"Don't you jerks ever scare me to death like that again. It's the first time that I've had human friends and I would not want to see you guys in Hell!" he screamed with tears in his eyes.

Janet couldn't help but to find it funny that the prince of Hell would be this emotional about their hospitalization.

"For someone who came from the depths of Hell, you do sound like you actually miss us. I though you were the dead rabbit that shows no mercy to those who come across you way," she said in a teasing manner.

The rabbit would quickly wipe his tears away and glare at her since he's normally embarrassed about these type of feelings.

"You better be lucky that I feel compassion for the surface livers or else I would have eliminated you like the many Hell residents that exposed by secret!" he barked.

Hardy pets the skull of his undead partner to show that he can understand his embarrassment of feeling concerned for others while his female partner chuckles.

"It's good to know that you've done a great job protecting the innocents while we were gone. Amy and us were able to hang on until now thanks to the help of a guy who came to the hospital and helped us heal. He should be one his way here in a minute since the G.U.N. sent him here to help out," he explains.

Headdy shot his head toward the gossiping cops to listen once he heard that the G.U.N. were partially responsible for their unexplained recovery.

"You mean, those guys were coming here to begin with because of the guy that was sent here as part of a mission. Just who is this guy so that I can thank him for doing us a favor?" he said in suspicion.

Sir Pepper himself would become equally as curious as his fellow toy ally since this agent that the G.U.N. sent actually did wonders for their wounded allies.

"This fellow you speak of, is he heading his way here already? It would be interesting to meet him in person and express our greatest gratitude for what he had done," he said.

Amy heard their words and struggles to show a sign that she's ready to be released from their group hug.

"Guys, he's on his way here. Can you put me down so that I can introduce you all to him?" she said.

Bayonetta would eventually drop everyone onto the ground to leave everyone landing onto their butts and groaning in pain.

"Ouch, you seriously needed to drop us that hard?" Billy said before wiping away his tears.

"What else would you expect me to do, little one? Gently place you on the ground like children instead of doing things the faster way?" she said while doing an "I don't know" gesture.

Gear simply got back to his feet despite the pain and stretched his back to look his best before Amy's healer would finally show himself.

"So someone was responsible for nursing you back to health that fast like how you supposedly healed Selvaria before your severe injury?" asked the mysterious Joe.

The crowd would finally clear the way once a mysterious young boy told them to excuse himself as he makes his way to the beach. The G.U.N. fleet would be finally nearing the beach before they begin to land along with the space ship.

"And like the cops had stated, we did send an agent here to check on the situation here. He was lucky enough to even find Amy and them in the hospital since he healing would come in handy for the future fight with the Legion. We can say that it's ironic since he used to be part of the World Destruction Committee," Rouge explained.

Then agent that everyone would be gossiping about finally appears from the crowd with his dirty blonde hair and cerulean eyes. However, he wears a ton of clothing, so one can't see most of his body. As the people could see he wears a black coat with buttons everywhere. Under it is a blue shirt with straps and he wears a cotton glove that is used for holding knives and daggers. This boy wears a belt to hold his weapons and under it he wears a garment that hangs behind his legs, where he wears cowboy-like shoes.

"Say hello to Kyrie, a member of the disbanded World Destruction Committee that we ran into during one of our missions to track down any other signs of Eggman's base. We we first found him, he would be simply a guy looking for more rare ingredients for a soup until we convinced him to work for us in exchange for a prize. He is quite the valuable asset in which he holds a mysterious power that could be the key to disrupting the effects of the Subspace Diffusion Bombs, but the main problem is that it is rather tough situation and he can barely remember how to properly use his full strength," she explained.

The young man would walk onto the sandy area of the beach to see how Amy and the cops were doing since he took care of them back in the hospital. His strange appearance was what got Amy's friends and Bayonetta was interested in his weapon packets that hanged off of his body. His knife in his left hand was what got Joe since this could be a sign that he's a pretty skilled warrior along with what Rouge said about him during the introduction. Segata knew who this young man is since his knowledge of anything Sega related surpasses everyone in the world.

"So Kyrie was the one who replenished their health? They don't call him a kind young boy for nothing since he's the type that likes to help others when he was originally tasked to destroy the world," he said.

Headdy's eyes popped out his socket when he heard that just like how Sir Pepper's brows had raised in surprise.

"Destroy our world? You mean, this kid is a force to be reckoned with when fighting seriously?" he said.

"If you heard what that bat said, this warrior doesn't remember how to use the full extent of his power. So to say, he's not really experienced when it comes to things like destroying worlds in a flash," the wise Shogun said.

"Actually, I'm glad he doesn't know how to properly do that yet since he already sounds like a dangerous individual to be around. But this knave seems like a fine gentle knight from first glance," Sir Pepper said while polishing his helmet.

The young boy finally reached Amy's group with a kind smile and reaches out his hand, beckoning for a warm welcome to successfully introduce himself.

"Like my superior Rouge said, the name is Kyrie. I am the one who used my healing skill to quickly accelerate the healing of her wounds. It's nice to know Amy has plenty of good friends who were waiting for her to be out of the hospital," he said in a kind tone.

Alex Kidd would be the first one to shake his hand since he is really grateful for what he did for his dear friend and Billy would be there to to the same.

"My name is Alex Kidd and it's an honor to meet someone like you. What were your latest missions before stopping by here under the orders of G.U.N.?" he said.

Billy would be next one shake his hand while the modest boy thinks of the best way to answer their questions while being private.

"Well, I would be hired with the task of following the Legion with Morte in our new airship. We basically gave them an idea of how our original ship worked so that they can make a new one specifically designed for traversing the skies," he said before chuckling.

Joe and Gear would be the next ones to shake hands with him with at least another important question about him.

"How good you are at fighting? I assume that since you do seem to be armed with that knife and the G.U.N. did entrust you as one of their many agents," the ninja asked.

Kyrie looks at his knife to ponder it just to see what his client found so interesting about it.

"You mean this old thing? It's actually one of the many weapons I have when facing wild creatures or anything that opposes me. I had fought Ferals and other high level fighters before, making be a great asset to the G.U.N. in case any spies were to attack our ship. And I'll admit that I sometimes use them when cooking a meal during our journey," he said while brushing the back of his head.

Then lastly, Bayonetta would casually stride towards the young man with a sly smile that easily made him nervous. The Umbran Witch would simply shake his hand in a rough manner with her other gun free hand on her hip.

"Say, your name means "God" right? Just like your beloved Morte's name means "Death". That alone proves that you two are truly powerful beings when really getting serious like me," she said before winking.

He simply tries to avert his eyes once he accidentally took a glimpse of her cleavage in this situation, simply trying to think in a way where he isn't forgetting about Morte.

"Well, I'm the one you should be truly worried about. While I can't deny that my fiancé is a deadly fighter herself, my abilities has a high mortality rate when activated properly. But she easily beats me out in terms of combat experience and personal skills," he said.

It wasn't until the Valkyrian woman would appear right behind him and he would be surprised at her sudden appearance after turning round. He jumped to the side only to accidentally hug Bayonetta with his arms crossed behind her back and his body pressed against her chest. This moment would lead Amy into laughing at this since he does have a cuter side to him when scared while the others simply stared.

"Why did you sneak up on me like than, ma'am? Clearly it is much more appropriate to approach me from the front instead of scaring me senseless?" he remarked.

Selvaria simply stared at him with the same default expression since the situation he's in is strange. He wondered what would be the problem before slowly turning forward to see the Umbran symbol and Bayonetta's bust before his face.

"My my, aren't you quite the naughty one? Even the nice ones like these can simply be adorable when his true nature is revealed," Bayonetta said before winking at him.

Segata's entire group would be shaking their heads since this spy is revealed to be nothing more than a coward that freaks out at the wrong time. Kyrie's face fully turns red ofter realizing this and quickly jumped of of the witch's body in fear before stumbling on his feet. He made possible where his knives wouldn't accidentally hit someone with them and got a good look at Selvaria before teetering before her.

One of the Legion is here and she was behind me? Why would she not be with her own group? Unless she's serving as a prisoner for information under the orders of G.U.N.

Then he would would finally fall headfirst into the silver haired woman's ample bosom to cushion him from hitting the ground, with the woman still keeping her stern eyes on him the entire time. Now this would be the moment where a serious guy like Gear would struggle to hold in his laughter while Amy and the other boys bursted laughing at the situation. Joe would simply wonder what she's going to do with them since he was mostly silent the entire time while Bayonetta simply smiles at the delightful situation before her.

"What can I say, this boy isn't that great with women. When I've first met him, he did have a problem with my outfit while Morte simply punches him for even getting "bad thoughts". But I'll simply promise not to tell her a thing, she would not like the look of this," the bat said with a smug look.

The innocent young boy looked at the red eye woman that towered above him with his head resting on her chest with his heart raising to show signs of fear in this situation.

"I'm really sorry. I really hope that an imprisoned member like you don't plan on tearing me apart," he said fearfully.

Selvaria couldn't help but to feel that he was misunderstanding her based on his earlier missions regarding the Legion and she was no longer considered one of them at this time. Segata's group became incredibly cautious since the possibility of her getting angry at him were inevitable based on her stare and silent attitude during the situation. It was at this moment where every single air vehicle associated with the G.U.N. had land on the beach including the mysterious space ship near the front of them as sign that this could be another of their agents.

The Valkyrur herself finally loosens up her stern look and begins to wrap the young man into an emotional hug, embracing the young man for his courageous act of tending the wounded like any loyal soldier would. Billy and the others would be confused at what she was doing since they thought she was simply going to punish him at first for his accident. Amy would then realize at this moment why she gave him that hug as an act of thanking him. He would actually try to struggle in this situation, but wondered why she would go out of her way of hugging him at this moment. Rouge was another person who got the reason behind the hug since she is congratulating him for what he did this say.

"Thank you, brave warrior. You were not only able to fulfill you duty as helping out a wounded civilian like her, but made me glad that she was able to survive her encounter with my cruel ex-ally. I'm simply not who you think I am anymore based on your spying, but someone who's officially on your side," she said in more sad tone.

The boy finally figured out the reason from the warm embrace that he is receiving and simply felt guilty for judging her from their first meeting. He could feel himself having that feeling of power in his heart to reflect that he was able to do a favor for someone who was worried for Amy, even if it were to be someone he had perceived as the enemy at first.

"I think I've seen enough of your true nature to know that you aren't one the Legion's side anymore. You may however be our guest and lead the way to Eggman's lair since you might have the higher ranks to actually meet him on occasion back when you worked with them. Your army may also come in handy too since we might need all the extra soldiers we can for Operation Free Sonic. But one thing that you must promise is to never think about any backstabbing since we all got our eyes on you," the bat explains.

Selvaria them looks toward the holographic image behind where while she held Kyrie against her bosom and prepare to explain everything that she needs to know.

"Yes ma'am, I can tell you that I will abide to all of your orders and not think about giving you the same treatment that repulsive nightmare being would do. Eggman's mothership can normally be found approximately two hundred feet southwest of Apotos and it usually travels to a different location once every two weeks. So chances are that we might run into him on the move if we get their fast enough with the help of your transportation and my coordination. My men are experienced enough to handle plenty of wars so this may be no different and our tanks are durable enough to withstand the average explosions. You have my word that I will be loyal until we can put an end to the Legion's plans," she explained.

The smug bat could admire this woman's determination to atone for her previous actions and focused her attention on the other heroes that stood before her holographic appearance.

"I see, thanks for letting me know everything me and the boys needed to know about Eggman's exact location. Do any of you guys trust this woman or would be wiling to allow her to lead the way to saving Sonic the Hedgehog?" she asked.

This would be the ultimate deciding factor for anyone that planned to leave this area to agree with the G.U.N.'s plan on allowing Selvaria to take them where they needed. Amy would be the first one to respond with a nod with Billy Hatcher giving a thumbs up as a sign that he agrees. Then Alex Kidd would give the holographic bat a peace sign, Joe simply nods with his arms crossed, Bayonetta simply did her trademark wink before raising her gun in the air, and Gear gave her a serious look that show how much he agrees with this plan.

"I think that one side of the group is in favor of this new plan, especially Amy since she was the one our new friend was worried about. Now if only the other group can agree before we begin to leave," Rouge said before glancing aside at Segata's group.

Headdy would be the first one to reply with a simple "hat tip" with his own head while the noble Sir Pepper simply posed with his key weapon with Barobaro appearing beside him with a happy neigh. Then this would lead into the Virtua Cops giving an about-face pose, Ash swiping his cape like a hero, Segata bowing down like any other martial artist would, Shogun saying "Hai!" before doing a flashy pose, Ristar giving off a serious thumbs up, Clarissa giving off a tight hug to Alberto with a smile, and Gamma cocking his gun with the Chaos Emerald in his hatch.

This would lead Rouge to smile at the heroes' willingness to agree with this and trust Selvaria completely after redeeming herself by fending off her former allies before the intervention.

"So you guys simply agree? Then that is great, just what to expect out of Sonic's friends or anyone who would be willing to help out with this operation. One last thing is for me to introduce you to someone special before we leave for now," Rouge said with a smile.

In the middle of this, a mysterious figure would step out of the ship before the rows of G.U.N. helicopters to approach his boss and the other heroes that he'll be working with. This person was of a short statue comparable to Sonic's closer friends (only a foot bigger in terms of stature), but he had more of an alien feel to him due to his hi-tech space suit and the silver backpack on his back. The backpack on his back is not just an ordinary backpack, but a close robot ally of his's that would travel with him that way on most of his missions. The guy indeed had a more animalistic appearance despite his intelligence and experience with machinery, making him someone that can easily rival Tails with his weapons.

Everyone would finally see this guy approaching him and would be surprised at how he looked in comparison to to them. Another person would fly out of the same ship and descend his way beside his partner to catch up with him. This would be more old fashioned instead wearing a blue backpack and yellow pants, with an appearance compatible to one of Nack's older buddies. He also carried his closest buddy in a backpack like his more experienced partner who's a bit of a red feathered friend with quite the mouth on her.

"So we finally get to eat something good after all the traveling we had done?" the bear said.

"Banjo! You do realize that it's our time to shine right? Thinking about food instead of advancing the plot would seem rude to both our new allies and our fellow readers," the red bird complained.

She pecked him on his head just to knock him out of his hunger and the bear rubbed his head in pain.

"Banjo! Kazooie! Now is not the time to act so unprofessional after all the detective work we had done for the G.U.N. What we really need to do is to tell Sonic's friends who we are and how we'll help him!" the Lombax beamed.

The robot would peer his head from behind his partner's neck to see how he feels despite being connected to his back.

"Ratchet, we know that these two are used to fighting every now and then. That's how we were when we first met, isn't that right?" the robot said in a polite accent.

These four were quite the strange pairs indeed and several heroes wondered how did they even get close to the G.U.N. unlike the more deceiving Kyrie. The space fighter made his way to the holographic Rouge with his bear partner nearby to show that they are fully present before her own eyes.

"Good, you two are still as sharp as ever. Before we leave this place, I would like you to introduce yourselves to the ones who we will travel with on our next mission to infiltrate Eggman's new airborne lair. Just make sure that these introductions are well explained so that not a single person is lost on certain details," Rouge said.

The bear and bird would properly face the heroes before him while his more advanced partners would face him like any other experienced hero would.

"Guh huh, I'm Banjo of Spiral Mountain! And this red Breegull beside me is my partner Kazooie! We are the ones who would oppose that ugly hag named Grunty, who is apart of this Legion of Subspace group that we were hunting down. Since the day I've ran into Rouge and pals, I would be tasked in gathering information on the many worlds that they would take over like our partner here," the bear said before juggling a Jiggy.

"Banjo, it would have been nice if you simply told them that you knew Sonic from that one racing tournament. Not like anyone would acknowledge that ever happened before," Kazooie remarked.

The Lombax beside Banjo would then clear his throat while he robotic partner hops off his back to properly introduce themselves.

"My name is Ratchet and this here is my buddy Clank. We were able to arrive on this planet with the help of our ship the Aphelion to hunt down Nefarious since he appears to have gotten the right crew to cause trouble with. Like Banjo said, we were tasked to be spies for the G.U.N. since the day we discovered them when were investigating what happened in Mystic Ruins. So I hope that we can get along fine during this mission to save your friend Sonic," Ratchet said in a professional manner.

"Like Ratchet said, we are simply some important individuals who's been helping this organization out other than the few spies that had sent before we've met them. So simply think of this as an opportunity for you all to know us before we help you free Sonic," Clank explained.

A massive airship would cast a shadow above everyone on the beach and in the city area to give them sign that it would be time to go. This ship however used to be the one ridden by the World Destruction Committee and had been modified for aerial flight like Kyrie said since it would be proven useful for tracking down the Legion of Subspace. The European soldiers watched the machine as it prepares to land onto the sea before them with the turbines casting powerful gusts onto the sand before them. Everyone shields their eyes as the dust rolled in their faces to prevent any form of blindness while several of the citizens that watch began to leave since they no longer have to watch them. Within minutes, most of the citizens that watched were already started to resume to their usual schedule since they had places to go and jobs to attend.

Though the beach goers offered to stay since they will continue having fun in the sun once the G.U.N. and heroes depart for their journey. The wind dies down a little as does the flying sand so that the heroes can look at the massive airship before them. Many of Selvaria's soldiers would be surprised at what they see since it would be bit enough for them to live in. Kyrie lifted his body from Selvaria's chest and begins to head towards the ship since he would be aware of how worried Morte would be about his disappearance. Amy would be surprised at how the ship was big enough for at least a large crew to be in.

"Well everyone, your ride is finally here. One last bit of advice I have for you all is to listen to everything Morte says since she's the captain of the ship as well as Selvaria since she will be the head navigator of this entire fleet. There should be enough for every person, vehicle, and robot to be on since it's at least a bit bigger than the average G.U.N. carrier that we have. So good luck on your mission for Operation Sonic since I can guarantee you that more help will arrive when the time is right," the bat explained.

"You heard what the sassy bat said, boys and girls! Start heading in that ship immediately while I'll be the one to transfer your vehicles there with the help of my witchcraft," the Umbran Witch said.

Then a drawbridge from the ship would appear for Kyrie and a few members of Amy's group to start walking along with the entirety of Segata's group along with Clarissa and Alberto. The concerned boyfriend would look back as the black witch walks beside his prized vehicle with a bad feeling about what would happen to it.

"I hope that witch knows what she's doing with our ride. I really do not want to go through the trouble of buying another one if she accidentally breaks it," the Outrun hotshot complains.

Bayonetta then summons a special portal that could lead to the inside of the ship before hauling her allies's vehicles in there with her own strength. The silver hared maiden would walk her way to her patient army to give them the permission they need to leave the area and get aboard the airship.

"We are ready to leave when you are, Commander Selvaria," one of the nearest soldiers said.

"Gentleman, you may now board the ship. With the combined efforts of my navigation and our new ally's ship, we shall storm the heart of the Legion's command and take back their hostage by force! Chances are that things might me dangerous or alines might be lost in the middle of a violent air fight, but it's for the sake of doing anything possible to help our new friends. Move out!" she commanded.

Her army appropriately saluted and begin walking towards the draw bridge of the ship with their commander. Both Banjo and Ratchet flew back to the Aphelion in the middle of this so that they can be prepared to lead the entire fleet. Omochao, Gamma, and Billy would be the last ones standing with Amy since they realize that she might have a last few words with the G.U.N. operative. One concerning thing in particular is that Ecco would be left stranded in the sea below them in the fight and she wanted to find a way possible for the heroic cetacean to join them.

"Rouge, there's one last thing to ask before you sign out. We've got this new ally that was a huge help in defeating the Vortex Queen and I was wondering if there's a way that he can board the ship with us. Is there a tank or something that he can get inside?" she asked.

The bat then thought about how Morte would talk about having a tank that would be appropriate for fish that they would catch during their travels, which gave her an idea. Bayonetta then gets finished with tossing every vehicle in her special portal and leaps in herself before it completely disappears.

"Actually, there is one way that you can be able to take that dolphin with you since our friend told us that they had zero luck in finding any good fish to eat. Hopefully this cute sea water mammal is an important asset to your party instead of an exotic pet that's there to be novelty. Since that's all I can say before reporting back to Shadow, I bid you all adieu!" she said before winking.

Then the holographic would shut down completely for the robotic Chao to be back to his old informative self. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and looked around to see where everyone was going. He did notice the large amount of G.U.N. vehicles in the area along with several family friends leaving into a boat before him.

"I guess this is time for me to go. Hopefully Gamma still has that Chaos Emerald with him," the curious robot said.

He would eventually notice Amy and the others heaving Ecco out of the water to carry him into the ship and watched them talk to the gleeful animal as a way of communicating with him.

"I guess that seems to be everyone important. Might as well fly over there so I won't be left behind like the last time," Omochao said frantically before flying off.

A lot of the swimwear wearing citizens would bid farewell to the heroes from where they stood before they ether prepare to leave.

"Good bye! Tell Sonic I've said hi and thank you for saving our family car!" the boy with the Sonic figure said as his father held him.

"Good luck on your mission to save the world! Make sure to bring the criminals responsible back here so that I can give them a proper arrest!" a police chief shouts.

"Thanks for saving my beach! Now I can keep watch of the citizens here once I reopen the place until late night!" the lifeguard said with his surfboard.

"Witch Girl, don't forget to come back here for a few autographs and pictures! You are literally the hottest heroine that we've ever seen in our lives!" a nerdy boy with a drooling smile bellowed.

Soon, many of the helicopters in the area in addition of the Aphelion begin to rise into the air in preparation of the airship to depart as a sign that they are instantly getting ready to leave. With Amy and friend's finally carrying Ecco into the door, the drawbridge slowly begins to roll into into to ship. This was when the same bikini clad girl that made an offer to do a favor for Bayonetta grabs her boyfriend and ran with him towards the retreating bridge.

"Britney, what the hell are you doing? These guys are planning on doing something serious and we don't need to get involved!" he complained.

"I made promise that I would do a favor for Witch Girl so I'm not simply going to let her get away from here! Besides, it's not like the cops are aware of our past Outrun races here," she said with a smile.

The citizens would become worried for the couple that were hopelessly trying to become stowaways on the airship. One surprising thing that happened is that the girl performed an athletic backflip to land herself right atop the draw bridge before it was able to leave the shallow water. Her boyfriend would be smart enough perform a series or rapid butterfly strokes to catch up with the drawbridge that his love stood atop.

"Here, catch my hand!" she said when reaching out for her swimming lover.

Then the boy would launch himself out of the water like a professional swimmer and grab her hand for her to pull him on top.

"Thanks. I thought we weren't going to make it. Why are you so determined to go after them?" he said while panting.

"Do you want me to smother you again? It's like you are seriously asking me to put my girls to their proper use for asking me a silly question twice," the girl said with a sly smile and shinning eyes.

Then the boy admittedly gulped since he would rather not have that happen since there were times that he would run out of air when he would do so. Luckily the two were able to do so before the door would finally close and slid through before it did. Then the massive airship would finally lift off into the air with the help of the turbines and propellers that were added to it when Kyrie first joined the G.U.N. Then the entire fleet would move out towards their next destination and cast a shadow on the crowds below that cheered for their success. The sun setting would be reminder of the day when Outrun Bay would be saved thanks to the heroes's efforts, when the G.U.N. "third party" spies would be revealed, and when Selvaria would be a key player in finding Eggman's mothership.

Meanwhile, Knuckles' group and the new GG's were already wreaking havoc in an abandoned factory that might contain the last shard of the Master Emerald with the many Robot Masters guarding this place. This could had been the main source for where Wily created the extra Subspace Diffusion Bombs based on the many capsules that were destroyed before they were made into potentially dangerous weapons. Many damaged bodies of these robots were signs that they were easily overpowered due to the efforts of the more stronger members of this alliance. Chaos manage to thrash a heavily wounded Stone Man against the ground with his elongated arm while Big crushed Charge Man with his own body weight from above.

"Guys, keep up the good work at taking these mechanical maniacs on! It's only a matter of time until we can finally stop the production of all bombs and get that last shard!" Knuckles shouts after defeating Pharaoh Man.

Ryo and Kiryu had no problem taking on Clown Man with their martial arts while the ladies handled Sheep Man with relative ease. Blaze and Axel decapitates Snake Man with their combined efforts soon as Electra and Shiva defeated Hard Man with their stronger techniques. It wasn't until a familiar foe would appear with the exact shard they were looking for appeared onto the upper level with his hand raised in the air.

Beat was able to catch this and shouts, "Hey! The last part is being held by that one punk above our heads!"

Ash stops punching in Magnet Man's face and looked at the mysterious Robot Master above them like everyone else. Knuckles and Chaos had a bad feeling that things would be a bit intense now that they have another pesky robot to crush for that final piece. This robot was much different unlike the others and had a darker air to him given that he's one of Wily's more powerful creations, if not, also the most stubborn of them all.

"Is this the piece that you are looking for? Then you aren't going to get it until you take me down. That is, if any of you will be able to before I crush you all," the black suited robot said with his intimidating scowl.

And now the heroes knew that Amy would finally be alright thanks to the help of an agent that worked for the G.U.N. Rouge and the many other embers that arrived would reveal him as Kyrie, a former member of the World Destruction Committee, and he would have an awkward, yet heartwarming thanks from Selvaria herself. Then the Valkyrur would tell the others about how she could lead them to Eggman with a few other new G.U.N. agents introducing themselves. The heroes finally managed to leave with their new fleet with a few new stowaways to follow them for unclear reasons. Meanwhile, Knuckles and friends would be destroying Wily's henchmen in a hidden SDB factory with a belligerent robot challenging them for the last Master Emerald shard. The new chapter will be available next Friday and I promise to give you all more Beat and Knuckles. Good bye and we'll see you until then.
