Good evening everybody, this is Big Red speaking with a brand spanking new chapter of Sonic Sega All Stars: Subspace Unleashed. With the beginning of this new arc, things started off as intense with the aerial war between the leaders' best fighters and the heroes. Then Nack would have the right idea to assassinate Shiva and Tails with his special gun for Tails and Opa Opa to risk their shields protecting him. Good thing Bayonetta and several others shown up just in time to help them defeat Nack and his partners easily. With Zavok out cold and Egg Robo wasted, it would be all to the heroes to help Tails finish him off once and for all. But what is next on their mission for the day is the infiltrate the ship and save the kidnapped hostages. Please take a look as Iwata would say.
The aftermath of Nack's defeat left everyone in complete shock at what happened due to the sheer power of that last attack. Sir Pepper raised both of his brows with his toy steed bulging his eyes cartoonishly. Amy couldn't believe that Tails caused that much damage with his fist and Knuckles was completely speechless over how strong Tails had gotten since their last adventure. Shadow smiles with his arms crossed at the aftermath with Rouge at a loss of words over what happened. Omega and Gamma were too busy trying to track him down with their scanners only to see that they can't get anything due to the distance he had flown.
"Nack the Weasel had left the building. Now the real mission begins and we must hurry!" the older E-Series robot said.
Bayonetta would then jump onto Gilius's eagle ship to try getting a better view of the fox's biplane in the sky with Shiva holding his body down to give her and the dwarf some room.
"I'm pretty shocked, the boy really is strong if he was able to send him flying that far. Maybe it could be the combined efforts of that blue speed demon that could have helped," the curious witch said.
Shiva grew annoyed due to the witch's caboose being near his face and the limited room the saddle had for these three. Electra instead laughs at the situation from afar because of his chaste behavior from Pudding's cruiser and was too entertained to get mad at him being so close to Bayonetta. Both Ulala and Blaze were too speechless to even focus on Tails's victory anymore when looking at this. Ralph and Alex Kidd appropriately cringed at the situation since her lack of personal space may be one of the main reasons why they would feel awkward in Shiva's place. Selvaria felt that everyone was a bit too silent and holds her communicator before her mouth for her next order.
"Is everyone alright? Most of you were screaming and silent about something that happened? I take it that the enemy were quickly dispatched," she said.
Ryo would be the first to answer her after tearfully celebrating with Honey about the weasel's high flying trip.
"Well, we can say that Zavok is out cold on the back of the ship thanks to our teamwork while the Egg Robo was easily defeated by Amy's group," he replied.
"Good. But what about Nack the Weasel? Was Tails the one to get past his forces?" she asked.
"Let's just say that we cornered him like a rat after ruining his shields and weapon system. Then Knuckles and Shadow would be the ones to knock him into the air while one of Bayonetta's demons give him that well deserved beatdown," Joe replied.
"And it would be all up to Tails and Gear to give both him and his precious machine one good punch in their good sides. We can guarantee you that we won't be seeing him anymore after he was sent skyward from the force," BD Joe exclaimed.
Selvaria thought about the responses that she had received and smiles at her comrades' efforts in this operation.
"And let's just say that Shiva is enjoying himself a nice piece of ass for the day as a reward for living," Washington said.
Shiva would be complaining as Bayonetta is losing her balance from the limited space with her rump continuously bumping against it. Gilius would be laughing just as hard as the nearby heroes that were watching this spectacle with Ristar struggling to hold on to Ryo's bike because of his laughter.
"Shiva is doing what? That's unacceptable lecherous behavior that shouldn't be tolerated on this team!" the Valkyrian commander barked.
Everyone would be laughing harder at the response they received from their superior knowing a side of her that they never really expected her to have. Even the more serious members of the group like Kiryu and Joe chuckled along with their entire group to express how funny this moment is. The silver haired commander's face grew red from hearing this much laughter from her entire group and Morte joined in on the fun with her blonde husband.
"You know what they say, one can always get to the bottom of something after accomplishing big victory," she proclaimed to Kyrie's embarrassment.
Selvaria would be speechless at her equal's joke despite how serious this mission to rescue Sonic should be with no obstacle's left to defeat. Eggman would be steaming mad over the excessive laughter from these heroes and felt that they could be cracking jokes at his failure instead of joking with each other. Nefarious and Wily were wondering what the hell they were even joking about and wished that their screen's speakers were properly working to hear this.
"What is it that they're doing? Laughing at how that pathetic weasel was defeated easily? They must be easily amused like a group of clowns instead of taking this completely serious," Bowser said.
"I bet that they are laughing at us because we failed to hold them back or break their spirits. It would be more irritating if this were Sonic, but this is enough to infuriate me to the point of boiling!" Eggman yelled.
Both Cubot and Orbot couldn't help to but to laugh at that intentional joke their master made, which would then prompt him to glare at them with a frightening stare. Then the two robots would be nervously slowing down their laughter before hiding into their compacted forms from any further threats. Dr. Bad Boon however was gaping at something that interested him way more than anything on this ship. It was none other that the interesting scene that heroes were really laughing at: Bayonetta constantly trying to sit on Shiva's face due to the lack of room on Gilius's eagle craft. The primate villain would be surprised at how lucky the traitor had gotten since he left the Legion with the other Syndicate members. Mostly he cared about how he wanted to marry Meemee for himself, but now he became infatuated with someone who outclassed her in terms of beauty. Dr. Z would notice this and tries waving his hand in his parter's face to get his attention.
"Hello, Earth to Bad Boon! You seem to be preoccupied with something important in this scene," he beams.
"Come on Selvie, have yourself a sense of humor! You do know this is what a man truly desires when he thinks of a woman. Isn't that how things could have went between you and Ramirez?" the Umbran Witch proclaimed.
The heroes laughed even harder after her words since they were not only judging their superior's lack of humor, but she continued to pester her "toy" with her best weapon. It was then when the silver haired commander experienced something that came from the back of her head while thinking about these words. She could feel something touching that she can remember from the time she used to be aboard the ship with her former allies.
Selvaria is cooking the meal in the kitchen with Ramirez with a smile on her face as the latter overlooked her details. The sound of bubbles are signifying the warmness of her heart as she cooks the stew with him in the room.
"You are doing better than I expected. I can tell that the meat is almost done with how dark it looks. I would recommend turning the heat down and tasting the broth," Ramirez said.
The joyful woman slows down her stirring as she turns down the heat as recommended. She would take the label to pull some of her glorious stew out of the pot and blows it.
"Careful, that may be a bit too hot and spill on your hands. I wouldn't want that beautiful appearance of yours to be damaged," he said.
He slowly hugged around her from the side to make her more encouraged to blow faster until it's cool.
"Ramirez, you seem awfully close to me. But don't you worry, I will taste this stew just for you," she said nervously.
She would take the spoon to her pale mouth and slurps it slowly like a fine chef in order to properly taste this meal. She could feel the warmth of the roasted potatoes and cooked meat in her mouth while savoring its rich flavor. Ramirez keeps his eye on her to make sure that she was enjoying the very meal she cooked. Then she gulps it down to feel the sweet soup rolling down her throat and looks back at her partner.
"It's perfect. I haven't cooked in a long time, but it tastes so sweet like I've expected. It would be better if you can try for yourself," she replied.
The man instead kisses her to enjoy the taste of this meal, which caught her off guard to her surprise. His tongue explored every region in her mouth to enjoy the salty flavor of this soup while enjoying her own warm mouth. The Valkyria would be too surprised to reply while he laps the taste from her piehole in a romantic manner. Then the two would disconnect with her still staring at his kind smile from the sudden kiss she received.
"Selvie, what seems to be the problem? I've tasted the stew like you said and I admire the taste," he responds.
She regains her senses and said, "But you was supposed to enjoy it from the pot instead of my mouth. Are you some sort of lech?"
"No, you just need a sense of humor. It was supposed be something you find funny because I choose your mouth as the source to taste it. But I can say that it's much better than it expected since it's made with your love," Ramirez said with a gentle smile.
The woman's face would eventually grow slightly red from this moment and starts to crack into a slight laugh. He gladly fills with happiness as her laughter grew and watched as she expressed this newfound joy with gratitude due to his strange sense of humor.
This memory was something that easily came up from the Umbran Witch's words with her face of confusion now transformed into a slight smile after remembering such a great moment with her former lover. But this wouldn't be the only memory to come up since she would think back to a time when she tried to humor her mysterious silver haired partner in the past.
This was now a situation in which Selvaria and Ramirez shares the same bed in their special room that they would normally sleep after a long dare of sharing announcements with their comrades. Ramirez is sound sleep on his back with his bare chest and arms outstretched from fatigue. He was having trouble sleeping due to some dreams he had of the very day he was being consumed with hatred from the Silver Gigas. The main things that came to mind is how his sanity was slowly sipping away when the Blue Rogues hit him with everything they've got. He groans in anger with sweat rolling down his burning head and turns wishing every haunting image he had.
"No…no…I will not lose. Not this moment," he mumbles in his sleep.
Selvaria slowly woke up form her sleep to hear the intense dream that her partner is going through. This would normally happen with him once a week due to the bad memories he had from his revival and she thinks of something she can due to help.
"Please….I can't die…like this! I will purge you of this world…in the name of Galcian," he says in his painful sleep.
Selvaria would turn to the side and slowly pulls his troubled head to her soft bosom to calm him down. The more he felt the coldness of her seat of emotions, his mental pain from the nightmare slowly subsides and he open his eye to see what it was. He was in utter confusion about this moment and wonder why was he being held like this.
"Wh..what is the meaning of this? Miss Bles, are you hugging me in this position to stop my dream?" he said.
Selvaria looked down at the confused man's face before his eyes were up there to see her concerned look. He is now completely devoid of any suffering and mental disturbance after being greeted to his loved one in a unique way.
"You look like you were a little over the weather, Ramirez. Allow me to give you a cool down hug to help a fellow commander form his post traumatic stress," she replied.
He was still silent over her concern for the things he was remembering during his sleep.
"But why hug me in this way where I can't see your face? Must you feel that I deserve to be lower enough to feel your soft heart?" he asked.
Selvaria laughs and hugs him harder to give him all the love she wanted in this moment.
"Why don't you have a sense of humor? Don't think you need a better pillow than the cold, frightening one you have? Just accept mines since it has the heart of a warrior and the warmth to destroy all of your troubles dear," she replied.
Then the man would be grateful by this embrace that she's giving her and laughs back slightly in tears. He would laugh harder with more of the warm droplets wetting her cold chest to make her glad that she's doing a great job with her comfort. He wrapped his hands around her back and hugged her tighter to let out all of his sorrow while the two enjoyed this moment for the night.
Selvaria would be smiling from these fond memories between the two that she couldn't notice the awkward silence from everyone else who were waiting for a proper answer. Bayonetta was really interesting in why her delayed reaction was taking this long while trying to stand up for one last time to go easy on Shiva. Tails and Gear were finally back from their victory as they wait for her to say something like everyone else. Amy is really concerned one what's taking so long for her to answer and fells that it was time or her to give another order for their mission.
"Uh, Selvaria? Don't you think you can answer us?" she asked.
This would lead Selvaria to gasp at how much time she had taken and shake her head to clear her mind.
"Well, yes! Sorry that I've been ignoring you since some important things were clouding my mind. But I can't really say why it happened other than Bayonetta's last statement beforehand," she replied.
The witch was right that something really was on her mind for those last few minutes while they were having fun.
"Say, what things were on your mind? You can't just leave me out of it if I were questioning your lack of fun," the witch tauntingly said.
"Nothing, what needs to be done is that everyone needs to board the ship. I'm sorry, but I can't waste anyone's time with things that shouldn't be thought about," Selvaria replied.
Amy had a feeling that she still had Ramirez on her mind despite the things she did that made her leave him to begin with. The pink hedgehog really wanted to help her while she's feeling down, but had her heart set on saving Sonic while she can. Shadow feels that its time to go instead of wasting anytime since this is a problem she would have to deal with alone when no one's bothering.
"Selvaria? Are you sure that you are feeling alright?" Ulala asked.
The Valkryrian woman didn't want to take to much of their time since what she has on her mind shouldn't be their problem.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Don't you all have some more important priorities for now like entering the ship? You all have someone important to save and what I'm thinking of isn't of equal relevance," she replied.
"You do have someone of equal importance to save. I know who you're thinking about and you really do miss him," Vyse said in a serious tone.
Selvaria could feel her voice being briefly stopped due to how wily the Blue Rogue's captain was with his ability to feel her thoughts. She didn't expect him to be this concerned given how he used to be their enemy the first time they've spoken on the day their identities were globally leaked by a certain reporter.
"You are worried about losing him into the madness for him to experience exactly what happened to him years ago. I know that you two were pretty close during your time on that ship and you haven't fully gotten over him since the betrayal. You are a strong commander who fought beside him despite the atrocities you two were working on with the Legion. Selvaria, I know that you still want to find a way of saving him without being forced to kill him with your own hands. So don't try to think that he isn't as important as Sonic and remember that we are here for you," the Blue Rogues captain continued.
She had no other way to respond to his intelligent, yet thoughtful words while she is holding in the intense feeling in her heart. Everything he said was completely right and she couldn't believe that he said that saving Ramirez was just as important as Sonic. Everyone would be shocked at how his words silenced her this much as a dramatic wind blows between all of them. Morte grew concerned for her comrade's silence and felt the need to reply to his sudden accusation.
"Vyse, don't you have any idea of what happened with her back there? She had her heart broken over that event and you have the nerve to say that a monster like him deserves to be spared? The hell is wrong with you? Secondly, you are wasting valuable time with her when you can easily be using that to go in there and save the hostages on that ship instead of worrying about her," she yelled.
The young adventurer knew what he was talking about and spoke back to his superior to show that he's not sitting round for nothing.
"But you do have an idea that she's just as valuable as the rest of us. We shouldn't just go in there like she doesn't have a problem and have her stay like this forever. Ramirez is a troubled individual that needs help just like the people we are saving and for her to be miserable like this forever isn't going to do her any good. So you would need to…"
"Silence! You know better than to question my authority like this. I have as much power as her and you in the operation so don't think you can talk back to me like a damn fool. She is doing just fine on her own and needs to defeat him in that war to make the…"
"Enough!"
This would not only silence Vyse and Morte, but every other hero that heard the stern commander's voice from all of there communicators. Amy knew that this is clearly Selvaria breaking up the fight between them just to make sure everyone focused on the bigger picture at hand. Tears rolled down her checks from the ruby eyes of this commander as her emotions were slowly leaving her cold outlook.
"He's right on both accounts. Being concerned about the emotional state of your superior is the type of behavior I encourage out of my fellow soldiers and I do still care for him despite leaving the Legion. I really do miss him after all this time and would like to find a way to save him instead of taking his life away from my own hands. I wouldn't want him to suffer the same fate I did years ago or even what happened with Maximilian after I died. This is not only coming from an experienced commander, but a great leader for your goals to do the same!" she cried.
This amount of emotion from her voice and the sorrow from her tone was something no one really expected out of this whole day. Vyse would still feel her tears from that last one and felt relieved that she was one his side. She was a strong woman who allowed her tears to drop from her face into the fabric of her uniform and stood her ground to show that she's just as militaristic as the man she admires. The woman is glad that she earned this amount of concern from someone that is on a similar position to her. G's group and Alis's group would be listening well to her low sobbing from their communicators like everyone else, feeling the intense feelings that she's repressing from their superior's concern. Vyse feels how the moment is working for her since she needs to let them out and accept that there are people who are willing to help her. Amy had a feeling that she had these types of feelings suppressed within her body and holds her hands before her.
"Selvaria, are you alright?" she asked.
"Don't do it Amy. Just let her handle the situation herself, she needed to know how to stand above such issues like a commanding officer," Rouge said.
"Think of this as what can happen to the emotional state of one when they are forced to be loyal to the Legion and break apart due to someone's dying loyalty being the one thing that clouds their vision. I'd hate to say it, but we can say that there is good in some people and some are being used as tools in order to achieve their goals. Like I can tell that if there's one thing that Ramirez can do when given a second chance, it's to realize that being loyal to a blind fool that wants to destroy this world isn't worth it. I can tell that he found real happiness with her, but his stubborn ways of dealing with things is what caused them to break apart," Vyse said.
Selvaria would slowly calm down during these words and wiped her face with a dark sleeve to remain clean for the rest of the day. She is feeling much better now that several of her own allies understand her situation and taking their time to be concerned for it instead of continuing the mission.
"You see, you do have people that care and want do everything to help you. You can't just shrug us away like we can't do anything and you don't have to kill him like those subspace punks. We aren't just a team, but a family that will do everything together until we put an end to their reign of terror. Understand?" he continued.
Honey places her hand on Ryo's in concern as they wait for her next answer. Ralph chewed on a pie that his Wreck-It-Copter baked while Chuck threatens to toss Head overboard to Vectorman's annoyance. Bayonetta sits cross-legged on Shiva's face since she had enough of trying too stand on this small eagle-esque vehicle anymore.
"Hey!" a booming voice yelled.
Billy and Alex turned to the massive zombie standing atop Zavok's fallen body like everyone else to see that he's waving for their attention. He was visibly shrinking back to his original size due to the potion's effect running out and the zombie was in no mood to wait.
"I think we need to hurry and get onto this ship. With me applying enough pressure to his body, I doubt he will be out cold forever! We need to start looking for that room and save those hostages!" he shouts.
Tails would realize that it was indeed time to invade the ship and Gear looks at everyone to see if their ready.
"That zombie is right. We need to get aboard that ship and do our mission unless we don't want to give the bad guys an upper hand," Larcen said.
Vyse would glance towards the tower above him to get a good view of the camera looking at them. He was in no doubts that the villains were watching them the whole time just to see when they would make their next move. Eggman and Bowser watching this young man looking at their camera from their rooms as the other members prepared for battle stations. The scientist in particular would be completely calm after his last outburst and more determined that ever with a perfect plan to stop their plans.
"Good, just you wait and give us time to think. I will definitely get back at you and make sure all of you don't leave here alive," he said.
The scientist slowly walks out of the room with his Koopa protégé following him with heavy steps. Bowser was glad that Mario wasn't here to ruin his plans, but felt that these heroes would need to suffer for ruining his plans. The camera would be shut down from its high spot and Vyse got the message that it was truly time for them to leave.
"Thank you Vyse. More specifically, thank all of you. I may not know all of you that well unlike Captain Morte's group, but I am honored to have such a group that would serve me in my mission to stop the Legion. Ramirez will have to find out one way or another that there is more we can do other than letting this entire planet suffer. Like several have stated, you all should hurry into the ship and follow these instructions well in order for the mission to be successful. So do me a favor and try not to die on my watch," the militaristic Valkyria announces.
Everyone would be clapping at their efforts to cheer up the commander with the more important allies of Sonic fully prepares to fly over to the ship. Amy smiles about the commander's more upbeat attitude after her recover and awaits her chance of saving the blue friend she misses.
"Hell yeah! Now can can raise the roof in this motherfreaking ship once the real fight begins. Varla, I'm sure that you would love to crush some mechanical faces with that strength of yours," Washington exclaims.
Zobiko and Varla appropriately laughs his statement while the former gets her apple gun readied for her next mission. Axel tighten his left fist in anticipation of the next fight with Billy victoriously raising his gloved hand into the air next to Cipher. BD Joe playfully honks his horn with his Greek lady holding him with her left arm with Amigo playing his maracas with stars in his eyes. AiAi in particular jumps happy inside of his Monkey Ball since he can finally discard his jet ring once he lands on the ship to save his wife. Both Omega and Gamma gets their best weapons prepared for this next fight with the remaining members of Team Dark getting their game faces on.
Hang on Sonic, I'll be the one to get you out of there since you will be the one to help me stop these guys in the end.
The Ultimate Lifeform being this concerned for Sonic easily shows how far their rivalry had gone since the beginning. Opa Opa hi fives Harrier as the two space buddies prepare to head back to their desired ships to defend them from subsequent ship attacks. Other former back-up members like Washington's group and Bayonetta had their eyes set on helping everyone else storm that ship since more than enough people were on the ship to help.
"Thanks for the reply Commander Bles, we won't disappoint you at all for this mission. Sonic is an integral part for our final plans of stopping the Legion and he won't be held prisoner any longer on our watch. Just wait on the ship and we'll call you back if we need any help going around the place," Vyse replied.
Dedede would raise his mallet over his shoulder in confidence since it was now his time to show them around the place and make sure they make it to the right room in time.
"Leave it to me if y'all need any suggestions for maneuvering the place. The first floor should be a piece of cake for you all in terms of beating up machines while I will be needed for getting the weapon blue prints and such for the trip. Just make sure not to get completely hasty since these are the head honchos and they are expected to have the superior defenses compared to any other warship," the replied.
Kirby would have nothing but food on his mind since he haven't ate anything before leaving the ship.
"Poyo," he said with his mouth drooling and worried eyes.
Dedede laughs at this since he knows his enemy well given that monstrous appetite he has. Both Eefrit and Dytto disappears into their respective elements thanks to the Golden Armlet so that Ali can save them for further use and left the robot bashing to his allies. The devious blue and red thieves laugh together in their flying van as Kasumi puts her blade away to depend on her close combat for the day. NiGHTS would put his Persona Mask away and glance at his closer friends to se if they were ready to leave. Jack Frost lastly feeds on some pie that he saved for the day to regain his strength for his next heated fight.
"Very well, I would like all of you to go there now and prepare to look for the blueprints of their weaponry. This will come in handy for the G.U.N. to do the right research for keeping up with their plans. Ratchet and the others that are in their respective ships will be in charge of watching anything and blocking any other shots they have for us. I have a feeling that the remaining three warships are on their way here to stop us and we have Azel and her dragon to help us out since they are strong enough to fight ships of this caliber. Dedede should have the password to unlock the room and some should be tasked with backing each other up from any enemy that tries stopping you all. Just remember one thing, don't go anywhere near the higher ups since they aren't important to defeat just yet. If they managed to trap you and start attacking, break out of it and escape from them. Good luck to all of you." Selvaria states.
Everyone would be cheering to celebrate the first part of Operation Save Sonic withs one turning their vehicles around to face the imposing purple mothership before them. Zobio is back to his regular size and the belligerent zombie awaits the rest of his crew to land on the deck and enter the ship. Gear eventually cracks his knuckles s his fox ally has his eyes set on the very ship he is meant to invade with his skills. Amy flips her Piko Piko Hammer into the air before catching it with Knuckles grinning at the fun he will have beating up more robots. Shadow crosses his arms like its going to be a great day with Rouge thinking about the possible treasures she may confiscate on the ship. This bat really cared to see what she can find valuable from Eggman during their mission to save everyone on the ship. Big the Cat watched Froggy hop around his shoulder in bewilderment since he wouldn't want to lose him in the middle of the chaos that would happen soon. Vector yells victoriously beside the silent Espio with Charmy cheering with him and Mighty being slightly annoyed at his boss's noisy antics.
"Let's do it!" Tails yells.
The first floor of this ship is a massive with a variety of different rooms and corridors to explore to showcase the complexity of it. Egg Pawns of various types were pacing the steel floors of certain rooms with their weapons in hand in addition to the Egg Fighter models Eggman used during the Gaia invasion plan. The first few rooms were more or less leading stations were the weapons were normally keep and appropriate stations to get more fuel for even the most advanced machines. The weapons along the walls would include guns, launchers, bombs, and rifles of all kinds. Some would be seen as important like the Petrification Gun that turns its victims into living statues in a blast and the infamous Subspace Diffusion Bombs that the ship must have used after all this time. As for where they would go when in use, there's a chute that travels from this room all the way to the cannons in the front of the shot that allows it to fire away at its opponents. The next few rooms would include one full of traps and obstacles guarded by Bad Boon's primate henchmen, Dr. Z's dinosaur gang, and Wily's Robot Masters.
The one with Bad Boon's men had primates armed with banana guns and their own balls similar to AiAi to flatten their enemies with more weapons rom the last room. The next one however would be one of high importance which is where they would get the data regarding the creation of these weapons that Selvaria asks for. These would include narrow runways for the dinosaurs to attack their foes and the main supercomputer in the center of this large room. One would risk accidentally destroying the computer when fighting these men and their strong dinosaurs. The last room would be crawling with several remaining Robot Masters that serve Wily in this war that guard the main stairs to the next floor. These Robot Masters would include Guts Man, Cut Man, Elec Man, Fire Man, Oil Man, Time Man, Ice Man, Bomb Man, Splash Woman, Galaxy Man, Concrete Man, Hornet Man, Plug Man, Tornado Man, Jewel Man, and Magma Man. These were the original Robot Masters that Dr. Light created only to be kidnapped and reprogramed again by the older models that Wily rebuilt (specifically the ones he created that were either destroyed in the factory or reside in the Third Floor).
Back in one of the earlier rooms, the Egg Pawns would feel something big booming from the halls with several having their guns aimed at the door. An Egg Giant would walk its way towards the door with several Egg Fliers following it to make sure that whoever these intents were wouldn't make it out alive. They would hear this rumbling getting even louder as their target's approach the room and the robotic henchmen would cock their guns to have their weapons. Then a familiar bomb would be tossed into the room at their feet from a distance with the egg-shaped machines looking at it out of curiosity. Its appearance was like that of a white ball and they figured it wasn't that helpful. The Egg Giant points its massive gun even closer to it to make sure that it wasn't any harmful, which would trigger just the right way to infiltrate a ship. The ball explodes and engulfed every nearby robot into a mass of white smoke to cloud their vision. The Egg Fliers and Egg Launchers would be alarmed and drew their bodies closer with more Egg Fighters walking to the peculiar scene. Then out of nowhere, the Egg Giant would be punched towards the incoming robots to crush them, due to being knocked out by a mysterious white hand.
The hand in question was held by a charred arm that grew out of the entrance to trick the other robots into thinking it was one of their own. Then more robots would be beaten and knocked out by a large group of unknown intruders that alarmed these machines. Several white blasts would blast the Egg Fliers from the smoke with few of then being knocked out by a massive baiting hook from a fishing line. The Egg Pawns would open fire on the smokey mass before them for the bullets to be inhaled by a powerful suction that would also draw them in. The smoke in the air would be successfully disappear in seconds for these robotic drones to see their intruders in all their glory. They would be none other than Tails, NiGHTS, Amy, Prince Ali, Orta, AiAi, Amigo, Jack Frost, Gilius, Vector, Mighty, Alex Kidd, Headdy, Charmy, Espio, Shadow, Knuckles, Billy Hatcher, Chuck with Head, Axel Stone, Shiva, Sir Pepper, Shogun, Gear, Ristar, Electra, Gamma, Rouge, Omega, Blaze Fielding, Shou, Tillis, Ralph, Bayonetta, Max with Chomp and other dinosaurs, Lord Max, Alis, Mobo with Robo, Centurion, Arle, Schezo, Gunstar Red, Satan, Dedede, Kirby, Kasumi, Honey, Kazuma Kiryu, Zobio, Zobiko, Ryo Hazuki, Mega Man with Rush, Akira Yuki, Jacky Bryant, Big the Cat with Froggy, Beat, Gum, Ulala, Pudding, Toejam with Earl and Latisha, Larcen Tyler, Vectorman, Phantom R, Welkin Gunther, Sakura Shinguji, Agent G, Detective Washington, Varla, BD Joe, Columns, the ChuChu Master Mech, and Zephyr.
This group of heroes had one thing on mind which was to reach the room where they can get the information for Selvaria as ordered in addition to taking on any enemy in their way. The Chaotix would be the first to notice the rack of weapons on the wall that could be the key to what they need to know for this mission. Espio would be cautious of the bombs on the wall since they could cause a chain reaction to destroy the room if one weren't careful enough. Then Knuckles would see the one to see the same chute that Subspace Diffusion Bombs would be deposited from the factory that they infiltrated in the past.
"There, I see their way of having more of those bombs. We've got to make sure they stop depositing them at all costs," the echidna said.
Tails, Knuckles, and Amy's groups would charge at the incoming robots to beat them up while the remaining others think of a plan.
"This must be one of the many rooms in the first floor like Selvaria said. If this room is truly huge, then I can expect the others to be like this with some defensive mechanisms and robust to the boot," Rouge said.
Gear would tear through a row of Egg Fighters with his Spin Dash with Egg Fliers being shoot down by Kasumi and Joe's best jutsus. Akira and Axel would knock down another Egg Giant for the body to be smashed apart by Blaze and Jacky's best techniques. Kirby already inhaled an Egg Launcher to become Bomb Kirby and started to destroy more with his new weapons. Alex Kidd punches away at the row of Egg Fighters and Billy bowls over robots with ease thanks to his fully grown egg. Caterkillers and Rhinos fall victim to the grateful acrobatics of NiGHTS and Gilius's brute axe swinging. The remaining heroes and their respective leaders would jump in the help soon as they see more Badniks and Egg Fighters heading their way into the room for back-up.
"At least these guys are resourceful by running into one room instead of standing around to bore us to death," Shadow remarked.
Beat would notice the New GG's having no problem taking on these machines on their own with some stomped by the Funky Trio's Funk-Fu and the Bonanza Bros' special stun guns. Roy and Honey were teaming up to take on the robots that tried to surround them with some of the tougher ones being defeated by Big's strength. Zobio would knock over a Rhino with his strength with his wife to finish it off with some well aimed shots to its underside. G and Washington shoots down an array of robot foes with their best weapons since enough gunfire would be enough to weaken their skin with Zephyr and Gunstar Red to finish them off with their firepower. Chuck chomps away at the robots with his powerful jaws with Head covering him by looking around from his shoulders.
"Chuck, there's a big one coming at nine o' clock!" he yelled.
The chest faced mummy turned at the right moment to headbutt the Egg Giant and bite it in its chest. Beat and Gum destroys enough Egg Fliers with their acrobatic air tricks and kicks to make sure nothing gets away easily.
"Good job, you still got that groove even since our separation," the green rudie said.
Then an Egg Launcher would appear behind her with its missile packed arms to attack. Beat would notice this and jumps at her to Gum's surprise.
"Wh..what are you doing?" she asked.
She flinched to hear the noise of heavy spray painting and metal clanks from behind her. She would eventually open her eyes and trend to see a defeated robot with Beat standing above her. The missiles were marked with his tradition graffiti and had no means of being launched any soon.
"You would need to watch that pretty back of yours unless you want your enemy to mark it the wrong way," he replied with a smug grin.
She couldn't help but to shake her head with a annoyed smile since she should have been able to handle it herself. The fireballs that surround a pack of Flamers would be put out due to the well aimed shots from the Burning Rangers' water guns. This would leave the red spherical robots completely defenseless for them to be destroyed by high pressured blasts to their faces.
"Good work, Tillis. There's no fires that you and I can't put out on this ship," Shou said with a grin.
Bayonetta would be easily defeating some Rhinos and Spikers with her reflexes and usage of Witch Time to dispatch them within a good twenty-five seconds. The fabulous witch would notice Egg Pawns firing away at her from the back with their guns. She would break dance like the last time to dodge and fore enough bullets to deflect the ones that could have hurt her in a bull hell fight. Some of these shots would knock the weapons out of their hands or even shoot out their blue eyes to blind them. Rows of Spinners would be destroyed easily thanks to a new ability that Kirby earned which is the famed Cutter Ability. This would allow him to toss yellow boomerang-like blades to easily decapitate anything like their pieces of wood. A Kiki would toss a bomb at him from above for Kirby to react with a Final Cutter. This would allow for him to slice the robot money in half and the very bomb that he was almost hit with. The final shockwave from his landing would knock out a row of Egg Pawns that were trying to attack him head on. Mega Man would slice away at the wave of Bandiks with his Metal Blades strategically while Dedede smashes away at the Egg Fighters with his mallet.
"Guys, we need to move on to the next few rooms since that could be where the weapons system computer should be! Tails, make sure the others follow my lead!" the king yelled.
The fox nods and flies towards the door as everyone else would leave for the stairs that take them to the next hall. Shadow would skate after them while Rouge and Knuckles glides towards the higher point of the room.
"Well, shouldn't we be leaving with them?" Charmy asked.
Vector would glare at the bee and points at him. "Can't you see that we are doing detective work here? Maybe we can investigate the weapons in this room and find out more about them," the crocodile replied.
He would look over to Mighty and Espio trying to pull one of the Petrifying Guns out of the wall together under Vector's orders. The armadillo was having the most trouble holding the barrels its his own strength with sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Wouldn't this make much more sense if we just look at the weapon's blueprints instead?" he said with his voice straining.
"What did I just say? We need evidence in order to back everything up! They would need more than just the blueprints to help and we can use our technician skills to reverse it for some special use," Vector barked.
Espio would finally push the but of the large gun out of the wall and it slams onto the ground due to Mighty giving up holding the massive barrel. The next room everyone else traveled in is completely empty due to the all Badniks from the last room being destroyed with this one being much more straightforward with no stairs and more weapons along the walls. These however were more deadly being rocket launchers and ammunition that would be enough to wipe out the toughest buildings. Beat, Billy, Alex, and Joe looked around the room to see if more robots could ambush them from above like real look outs. Zephyr and Gunstar Red would be surprised that not a single robot is in sight thanks to their efforts in the last room with the natural silence in the room. The twin E-Series robots were still determined to blow up more of their former siblings by looking round the room for these targets.
"Gear, do you have any idea of what to expect in the next room? Something organic maybe?" Tails asked after flying beside him.
"Yeah, you will see that Bad Boon's monkey cronies in the next room. Some are armed with rapid fire banana guns with others rolling in the same balls as that monkey on our side," Dedede replied.
"You mean AiAi? There are meaner versions of him that we have to defeat, hee?" Jack asked.
"Eeek week yeah!" the orange shirt wearing monkey screeched.
Given the serious look on his face, AiAi is ready to defeat his familiar foes Monkey Ball style.
"But that's not all, there are more than enough traps in the next room that are akin to that of a pinball game. AiAi would have no problem getting around the room easily since he should know about it. So I would like all of you to be extremely careful and try not to be hit too much," the king remarked.
Prince Ali would have the right idea to take out his Black Knight Sword since it should be strong enough to slice through anything tough.
"Whatever obstacle we may face, I will break through it easily with this blade. Orta, I will make sure that we make it to that room safely," Ali declared.
"Good, now I know that my Chaos Powers would really come in handy for this next room. Their pointless traps wouldn't know what it means to deal with a force like me, Shadow said.
Rouge laughs at her partner's smug words with Gilius being ready for whatever he fights next. The heroes would enter the hall that would led straight to the next room that they would be wary of due to being more gimmicky with booby traps and maze-like halls that only a monkey would know. Shiva and Electra glanced at each other before nodding to show that they got each other's back for whatever they may face in the next room. Ralph has his clenched fists ready for whatever he has to wreck in the next room with his zombie friends having their weapons ready for what's next. Then they oddly enter a room that's twice as large with two floors worth of puzzles and monkeys patrolling their posts for the foes that await them. One of Bad Boon's men would notice the heroes entering the room with a scowl and cocks his banana gun to prepare for their next attack. Gear would be amazed at the architecture of this room since it's all about exploring this room without messing up.
"We have to go through this? What type of crazy fool would make up something this funking complicated," Toejam exclaims.
One of the monkeys emit a loud screech to alarm the others in the room from their positions with the gunners aiming their weapons at the large group of intruders. The Monkey Ball riding ones would start rolling from their positions to look for whoever would be their first crushing victims.
"Nobody said anything about us being guinea pigs in a maze type puzzle. And we also have to dodge snipers from above?" Honey complains.
"Less chat, more running! Just split up and we'll see if anyone can make it to the end with no trouble," Amy shouts.
The heroes would dodge the heavy banana fire and choose which of the four tunnels that they would explore in the maze. Forth of the entire group would travel in their own ways in hopes of not running into Monkey Balls. AiAi would be the leader for his group since he knows that he would have to knock out any ball rolling primate that tries to attack his group.
"Eeek week yaaauugh yaaauggh! Ooo ooooh whauuuh!" he remarked to the eighteen people following him.
Ryo and Honey had no idea what he was saying, but nods as they ran after him with the remainder of Knuckles's group. The echidna felt that he would have been a better leader at time like this instead of trusting a monkey of all characters.
"Do any of you have an idea of what he's saying?" Axel asked.
Vyse shrugs and keeps running since he's more focused on reaching the end of the maze. One of the ball rolling baboons would appear and attacked AiAi head on to knock him away. He screams in pain from the sudden attack and bounced around the clear walls of his sphere. Knuckles would run past the other heroes that were ahead of him and punched the monkey's ball to make him roll faster than ever.
"Why don't you try bumping against this!" he shouts.
The baboon would roll towards the out of control AiAi to be sent flying straight into a steel wall that was behind. The primate would fall to the floor of the ball with his eyes rolling in defeat. Knuckles caught AAi's ball in time and continue rolling it before he take his turn.
"Everyone turn to the left!" he shouts.
Everyone would follow the red echidna in the direction he turns without any delay with more chaos happening on the other side for Tails's group. Tails would be dodging a series of spikes that rose from the ground like everyone else since this is one of the more death defying traps in their route. Billy already stole one of the baboon henchmen and rolls atop it with the help of his Circus Hat leaving Vectorman to carry his egg for him.
"Thanks for carrying my egg, Vectorman. That makes things much easier since I will be needing that for later," he said after having to him.
NiGHTS is carrying the less agile humans on his back thanks to his famous Dragon Form since nobody should be left behind on this mission. The Bonanza Bros would be alerting anyone from below if there was banana being shot from the canopy so that they can dodge it. Amy and Alex Kidd barely dodge a banana before the spikes on the last step raise, making them sigh due to it being close call. Joe however would jump into the air with Bayonetta and Kasumi to look for any of the snipers that were attacking them.
"There, let's knock their weapons out of their hands!" he said.
The ninjas and witch strategically fire or throw their weapons at the guns to disarm the simian gunners easily to their frustration. The three would land back on the ground and follow the long tail of NiGHTS before they fell too far behind. The New GG's and the half of the New Blue Rogues would be running down the third path that involved plenty of bottomless pits that they can fall in if one weren't careful enough. Beat, Gum, Zephyr, and Gunstar Red strategically jumped across each of these pits while running to stay on track. Several of the ball rolling baboons would be attempting to roll at the heroes from the corners of their path.
"Everyone, follow my lead and let us handle this," the two reporters should.
Ulala pulls out her twin space pistols while Pudding pulls out her trusty guitar.
"Ready?" the pink haired one asked.
"You bet my galactic attire that I'm ready?" Pudding remarked.
The two would be blasting at these ball rolling primates to knock them out or send them rolling into the pits that were ahead of them.
Zobiko barely jumped over the pit before her for Larcen to snatch her in time with his grappling hook. Zobio is relived in her safety with Ralph blocking the bananas that were fired at the two of them.
"Thanks for saving me back there, Larcen," the zombie wife replied.
The gangster grins and focus on running ahead of him before leaping across more gaps. Then the last group would be the remaining members of the new Blue Rogues and several of the G.U.N. affiliates. Shadow already defeated one of the primates above him with his Chaos Control ability and deactivated most of the controls to the gas that could have knocked out his entire team. Rouge would be disappointed that she doesn't have enough foes to beat with her own skills and kept flying above the ChuChu Master Mech. The space mice captains looked around from their dome like cockpit to see if there were any traps in particular to look for. Chuih would notice another fork in the road in their way and warned his fellow pilots. Omega would use this as the right time to contact the others in the maze to see where they are.
"This is Omega, can you all read me? It appears that we are approaching the end of this maze and all of you should be complete with this puzzle," he said.
Tails pull be the first one to reply on his end due to being the fastest one.
"We are almost to a few more turns before we reach the end. Knuckles is doing us a huge favor with these snipers," he said.
The speaker would be Vyse since he is disappointed about Knuckles taking short cuts on his own.
"Other than the fact that a certain red cheater likes to change teams, we should be almost there. AiAi must be a real veteran at hard mazes like this. I have never traveled in a dungeon equally as intense as this," he said while panting.
"My team should be one their way to the end since the pits are actually becoming much less frequent. Max is also nice enough to let those where were tired hitch a ride on Chomp's back. Never knew that riding a Triceratops would be this fun," Beat said in excitement.
A low pitched dinosaur roar could be heard from the east to signify that Beat's group is coming in close from nearby despite the road they've taken in this massive maze. Omega, Gamma, and Shadow would turn to the right for the rest of the group to follow them carefully with little obstacles left to obstruct their view. The end of the maze would be guarded by a massive robot piloted by Dr. Bad Boon's closest follower with the black hat since his boss hired him to be the protector of this room. Despite his mean exterior, he was a really nice guy and did anything his master would ever ask due to his manipulative nature. He would feel a rumbling from the four exits before him and readied his mechanical fists to crush whoever was in his way.
"Hooo hooo?" he somberly hoots due to fearing what may pour out of the maze.
Then the entire group of heroes with there massive reptilian rides, balls, and powerful legs exit the entrances to greet this massive machine. AiAi has the right idea of what to do since he faced large foes like these before and rolled toward his foot. Bad Boon's lackey knew exactly who this monkey is and rises his fist to smash him.
"Look out!" Gear shouts before homing towards the fist with his light speed attack.
He would punch against the fist with his strength after appearing there to hold him back. Then the monkey would succeed in knocking the robot's foot back for the machine to lose its balance easily.
"Whoohooohooohooohooohoo!" the hat wearing primate hoots.
Then Shadow would warp before the machine to knock his machine back with a powerful Chaos Punch. This would knock the machine on its back from a few feet and slam onto the ground in a heavy thud. Both Dragon NiGHTS and Chomp would push the machine with their heads to drag it further along the ground as they entered the hall.
"Heck yeeeeaaaaaah! Now we're really rocking this place!" BD Joe beams as he ran beside his flying beauty.
The heroes are down the hall together as their mechanical prisoner is pushed along the ground thanks to the larger allies of the group in the form of NiGHTS and Chomp. Max cheers his three horned pal due to his smart idea of pushing the monkey's robot ahead of them in case anything dangerous is in their way.
"Dedede, is there anything else we should look out for in the next room?" Kasumi asked.
Dedede would think off the top of his head as he jogged with his quick feet and keep holding his hammer into the air.
"Well the next area shouldn't be too bad since there is no maze but a massive floorboard instead. Said floorboard would tilt due to special controls Bad Boon's henchmen controls from above along with holes and spikes to keep us from reaching the end. So not as confusing as the last room, but still more dangerous," the king replied.
Tails would be surprised since he's concerned about the non-flying heroes that would have trouble staying on the platform.
"Is there anyway that we can stop the platform from shifting? Or shall I say, do you know where the controls are so that we can stop them," the fox questioned.
"Yeah, the controls should be at the end of the room from the highest point of the canopy above. There should be two monkeys controlling it and one should be able to knock them out easy if they can fly," Dedede said with a grin.
Kirby would be rolling past his feet in his Ball Kirby form thanks to inhaling one of the money rollers from the last room. With his spherical shape and bouncy body, he should be able to bounce and roll around with no problem. Orta raises her gun to her side as she runs alongside Ali in hopes of finding something interesting to take out. The monkey snipers stood their group in the raised area above the tilting floorboards in preparation of the intruders that may be heading their way. In between them would be none other than Bad Boon himself, who is waiting to see the heroes fall thanks to his well placed plan. He curls the left side of his mustache while looking at the dangerous area below through his right monocle. The two control guards would be at their post with the button and stick ready to move the floor when it's their turn to do so on their master's mark. He would be prepared to order them until he would see something that caused the baboon mastermind to yell in surprise. Just the sight of his right hand man's failure along with the heroes pushing him forward with their heads was enough to make him easily upset.
"Reeeaaaaughaaauuughh reeouggh reeeough!" he screeches while jumping up and down.
He was merely too pissed to order them to control the platforms while warning them that they shouldn't do anything hasty to kill his lackey. The two monkey henchmen would see this as well and facepalm since they were so excited to actually use their trap. The idea of him being used as a hostage was enough to cause them to not activate their trap. Instead, Bad Boon would have an idea for him to take maters into his own hands by hopping on the nearby hover device to fly away. What he had planned for them was something almost as dangerous as their original plan since he wanted to put matters into his own hands.
The heroes would be running their way across the floor with their eyes on the exit that stretched thirty feet before them. They would notice that all of the holes and spikes are set in the rights spots for them to dodge as they ran. NiGHTS and Chomp would instead push the fallen mech against them to cause Dr. Bad Boom's right hand ape to bound around the inside of the cockpit. He is dizzy and annoyed by the treatment he's receiving and bawls in hopes that someone would come and save him. Tails and several other heroes would notice that the floor wasn't tilting at all like Dedede said and had a bad feeling that they've had a change of plans.
"Hey, you said that this floor would be shifting around soon as we got here. So why isn't it happening at all?" Shadow asks.
Dedede himself would notice this as well and tries to think hand with the sweat rolling down his forehead.
Gee, I didn't expect them to do something different this fast. I've got to have a logical explanation or else they won't trust me anymore.
"I'm waiting on an answer, Dedede. We can't just be running without anything different to expect," the impatient hedgehog replied.
"We…well there can be a slight possibility that one of the superiors Bad Boon must have gave them an order of not using it for now. Maybe because they feel that some adjustments need to be made for now? We can say that this is our time to get out of here safely," the king replied.
Kirby would notice something flying in the air and frowns as his pink round body rolls on the ground.
"Poyo poyoooo!" he babbles before speeding up with his rolling.
"Hey, where are you going Kirby?" Alex Kidd asked.
Amy would see the pink ball rolling his way around the two reptiles and bounced over a few traps to get ahead of them.
"Is he trying too say that something is using us right now?" Ryo said.
The purple dragon shaped Nightmaren would be the first to notice something pink bouncing before them from the view of the very robot that they are pushing. Jack Frost and Amigo would see this as we and watched the pink sphere jump even higher to the point that he lands on the glass dome of the robot's face. Bad Boon's assistant screams in fear from the sudden bump from Ball Kirby's body and clings onto the seat of his cockpit. The hero of Popstar had a feeling that something from above was about to give them trouble and begins bouncing on it to raise his heights within each round.
"Can someone explain to me what hell he's doing? I feel that he's merely playing around without doing anything freaking serious?" Washington said.
"Easy there Washington, he may be on to something that we aren't seeing. The fact that they aren't tilting this floor is enough of a sign that their superior is lurking around here somewhere," G said.
Kirby would eventually launch himself into the air in a power bounce to the point where nobody can see them. Few with good eyes can actually pinpoint his location to see that his launches himself high enough to see where the controls are and spot the two simian henchmen waiting on their next order from their master. Kirby would glance over at the side to see that there is something large flying at him from the distance with two large claws and an imposing body that the other mech lacked.
"Yeeeaaauuugh!" he grunts before falling back down from his trajectory before it could fly into him.
Whatever was up there was definitely bent on attacking them from this room and he needed to warn the others.
"Did you guys just see that? It appears that we have another one of those monkey robots on our hands. This one is different and much more armed than the one we're pushing round," NiGHTS said while pushing his cargo.
Toejam and the others would be surprised at something like this preparing to attack them and wondered its they have the tome to fight it.
"Just leave it to me, Rouge, and Omega. The three of us should be able to hold him down before he gets any ideas. The rest of you should be fine heading to the next few rooms to get that weapon data," Shadow suggests.
"I will keep on going on my own since Eggman is my desired target for this mission. Farewell little brother and try not to sustain too much damage," Gamma remarks.
Omega would be flattered that his own outdated ally is this concerned for his well being despite being more advanced that him.
"Very well, but I can guarantee you that I am the superior machine. Just you wait Gamma, I will show this machine what I'm really made of with my advanced weaponry," the robot brags.
Kirby bounces back onto the face of the defeated mech and babbles to his pals about the incoming enemy that will ambush them.
"But what about us saying together and not wasting out time with the enemy?" Tails replied.
"It's alright Tails, we can trust them to take care of that primate madman while we are on the run. Shadow is a pretty strong guy himself so we to leave things in his hands," Axel suggests.
"I know that you are concerned for our well being Tails and I can respect it. But we are doing you all a huge favor so that this mission won't be a failure. Just run with the other sixty members and let us take care of the baboon's old friend," Rouge said in a reassuring manner.
"Guys, we are almost to the exit. We will be out of here in no time and this would be the right place to drop that machine off where his master can see it," Max yelled.
Chomp lets out a low pitched bellowing to let everyone know that he is tired of doing all this pushing to his metal victim. Tails would look back at Team Dark with his heart beating and head covered in sweat from his flight. He can respect that they are going do stay behind do something important for them like the Chaotix who stayed behind to take care of the weapons.
"Very well. Just don't take too long with him since you might come in handy with Chaos Control for warping the hostages," Tails remarked.
The three anti-heroic characters would nods and slowly down their movement to stay here and let everyone else leave.
Kirby notices the large figure flying their way again and bounds his body against to give himself that proper altitude.
"I'm guessing by Kirby's bounding that something big is coming for us," Honey said.
NiGHTS would begin lifting the robot into the air with his reptilian head, prompting the massive Triceratops to do so alongside him to prepare for a heavy toss. Max would look back at his fellow passengers to make sure that they've braced themselves.
"Hang on tight, because Chomp and NiGHTS are about to toss this metal head somewhere else before we really move on," he remarks.
Kiryu and the others would do as he say to not fall off of the dinosaur while they approached the exit. Then the two massive reptiles would finally toss the robot backwards to fling Dr. Bad Boon's henchmen away and help Ball Kirby bound his way at the target that's chasing him. The running and flying heroes below was watch as the massive shadow cast across them briefly as the robot flies towards the back of them. Shadow, Rouge, and Omega would pose soon as they see the devious Dr. Bad Boon's Primal Crusher flying at them with his claws ready to attack. The two had been fighting together since they joined the G.U.N. and had no fear for the fight that would occur between the four of them. Then Kirby would bounce against the cockpit to completely flatten himself to the evil simian's surprise. Even Shadow and his two allies were surprised by Kirby intervening in the fight. Then the robot that was dragged into this would would thud heavily behind the three to cause them to briefly lose their balance.
"Whoah, we have to fight another of these guys?" the bat said.
Omega would notice that it was the same robot that NiGHTS and Chomp knocked over and lowers his weapons since this one wasn't worth is time.
"False alarm, it's just a heap of metal that isn't anything relevant to our mission. Now the master that's before us is what we should be worry about," he responded.
Bad Boon is glad Kirby bounced off of his back towards the door from far away until he would see something that would make him angry. Seeing his own right hand man lying unconscious within his hat down and worn out from defeat is enough to let him know that they were really upsetting him. This would cause him to hoot angrily before activating his controls to beat the spherical balls on his chest like a primal ape. Shadow had feeling that he's mad over the sight of his defeated lackey and this was enough to excite him for their fight with him.
"Just as I've thought, you are throwing a tantrum over the loss of your hairy pal. Well I guess it's a shame that we will be the one's to spank your metal behind for now instead of running with the others," he said with a grin.
Rouge and laughs and said, "Oh Shadow, aren't you the one to joke about us engaging in a dangerous fight."
The angered Bad Boon would drop onto the ground after cancelling his flight and activates the guns on his machine to prepare for his fight with Team Dark. They were in for one hell of a fight while everyone else proceeded to the next room. The main super computer rests in the middle of this maze like room with more than enough Alpha Gang members walking around with their prehistoric pets in anticipation. There were five of them total with a different dinosaur that harness a certain element at there disposal. These dinosaurs would include a Acrocanthosaurus, Utahraptor, Altirhinus, Stegosaurus, and Suchomimus. These dangerous beasts were few of the best dinosaurs the Alpha Gang had in their possession while the others merely strive on the third floor in case anything big is heading there way. It would normally take a high class dinosaur or something equally as strong to bring them down and some hungered for an opponent that would satisfy them. One of the massive reptiles would notice a large group entering the room and hisses loudly like a beast gaurding its territory.
"Good boy, Utah. Some fresh meat came just in time for you to rip them apart," the Alpha Gang member said in a sinister manner.
NiGHTS would be the first to notice these dinosaurs after halting his flight and Chomp is growling at the Acrocanthosaur that slowly stomps his way there using the nearest trail. Max would realize that it was his time to start getting into a fight with his dinosaur pals with Tank and Terry looking at him. He would the turn to the other human passengers on the back of his pal to let them know that it was time for him to fight.
"Guys, you might want to hop off since Chomp is ready to take care of these paleolithic jerks," the kid with the red horned cap replied.
Everyone would obediently jump off the dinosaur's back and group up with the other heroes for a plan. Billy still stands atop the same Monkey Ball he snagged with the trapped simian shivering in fear. Vectorman would hold his other hand out with energy charged in his fist in case he were to draw near any of the five dinosaurs in the room.
"There's the computer where I can get the data. But I would have to get down there carefully past those guys in order to get the data. This is where you guys come in since I need some some of you to distance them or even take out their owners so that they won't have anyone to give them orders. It shouldn't be that hard for guys like you at all since you handled big enemies before," Dedede said while laughing.
Kirby would roll his way into the room to everyone's surprise since he is back to help.
"Tails, those guys may look like they represent a certain element. Maybe that could give us a hint of how to handle them," G said.
One of the dinosaurs in particular would be charging flames within his cavernous jaws to prepare a fire attack for the intruders that invade the room. Chomp would scrap at the steel ground in anger since he's been waiting for an intense dinosaur fight in a long time. Max would be just as mad as him since this part of the mission would mostly involve him and his three dinosaur allies.
"Just don't you worry boy, we will make sure these guys pay for everything they did back at home. He seems to be the perfect dino to get his scaly behind kicked by your best thunder techniques," he said.
The chibi Rex and Ankylosaur would be just as angry as him despite not being in their battle forms yet, which made Honey giggle at how cute they were. Zobio would be the one to get his weapons ready like his smaller wife since they've fought foes around that size and felt barely intimidated by the dinosaurs that watched them from their maze-like paths. NiGHTS notice the exit right near the end of the room and started flying over there with his friends to deliver them easily. This would lead the fire dinosaur to aim his mouth at them to shoot them out of the sky with his infernal break.
"NiGHTS, look out!" Kiryu yells.
The Acrocanthosaur is close to firing only to be knocked out by an angry Chomp that charged at him from the side, causing the stray fireball to hit the ceiling instead. Ralph and the others head down the same ramp with Dedede and the other key members to run pass the two reptilian tyrants.
"Good job Max, you and your dinosaurs can take it from here! We should have no problem dealing with the other dinos ourselves," Tails said.
The angry fire dinosaur shakes it head from the impact and roars back at his three horned attacker in rage. His master would notice this at the right time after running around the corner and grew surprised at the kid before them with his Triceratops.
"Well, it looks like a member of the D-Team is here to foil our plans. I had a feeling that Dr. Z wasn't wrong about what he told his earlier," he said.
The two dinosaurs continued fighting with each other to symbolize the two fossil masters' opposing personalities and personal goals for this room.
"Your master made the wrong move if he thought that I wouldn't be here to stop him. Now Chomp, use Electric Charge!" he yells.
The three horned dino charges electricity into his thick skull before tackling the Acrocanthosaur again with more force.
"Tank! Terry! Follow everyone else so that I can activate you for your next fights. I will stay here with Chomp, but you two should know how to handle these high class dinosaurs yourselves!" he remarked.
The two chibi dinosaurs obediently scurried towards the corner that the heroes took to follow them as ordered with the enemy A-Team member focusing on winning his fight. Tails, Ralph, Amy, Dedede, Kirby, Billy, and Bayonetta would be in the lead running down the path to lead their allies closer to the nearby supercomputer with their eyes peeled for any dinosaur threats.
"I have a bad feeling about this. It's been too quiet since we took a few turns already. I doubt these ancient reptiles would be dropping out if nowhere," the witch said.
Then a massive grey, blue raptor would drop out of the ceiling in an attempt to body slam the heroes below them with an Atomic Bomb move. Dedede screams before hugging Kirby in fear with Bayonetta gathering enough hair for a Wicked Weave attack.
"And just my luck. I really have to use this to knock him dead," she said in annoyance.
With a singe gesture, a massive hairy hand would punch this wind dinosaur in its gut to stop the impact and relaunch the defeated dino into the air. Just the sound of its angry roar would be enough to alarm his master that is surprised that his ambush plan was a compete failure.
"What the heck did you do to my Utah!" he said.
Then Ralph knocks him out easily in a punch to send him flying to wall before running off with his friends.
"Sorry, it was a reflex that's a part of my bad guy AI!" the wrecking villain shouts.
Amy laughs at Ralph's method of making this easy while she holds her hammer for another method. The fallen raptor would be struggling to move after the damage it gains, but wasn't going to give up without a fight. Even without their master's commands, these creatures could fight on their own easily without any problem. It would start kicking its legs to fire windy shirukens at Toejam, Earl, Schezo, Zephyr, Varla, Electra, and Latisha. Then a massive red Tyrannosaurus would jump into the way of this attack to block it with his own body as his smaller Anklyo ally running past to find his own opponents. The remaining heroes would be relieved by the rex's plan and kept running to catch up with the others easily.
"Thanks Terry, kick that velociraptor's butt for us!" the gun wielding boy replied.
Then the red dino would stare at the raptor to retaliate with a flaming bite to his side, causing the latter to screech in pain. The next dinosaur that would ambush them is a herbivore that has a special trap planned for them thanks to their master.
"Now use that Emerald Garden of yours to suck the life out of your prey, Rhino!" the A-Team member beams.
This Iguanodon would raise its upper body into the air before it slams onto the ground for his next attack. Amy would grow her hammer and toss it at the reptile to stop him from fully executing the attack.
"Scratch that, use Vine Lash instead!" the man repeats.
Dedede would be the one to toss his hammer at them since he's determined to reach the computer they is guarding. Amy's hammer would strike the dino in its chest to stun him slightly before the other one smacks it in its beak-like nose to knock it out easily.
"Nononono! You are not supposed to lose easily to these punks!" the man panics.
But the prehistoric herbivore would finally land onto its back as the stampeding heroes approached him at full speed. The man would be ordering his partner to get up despite the number of people stepping all over him. Tank would feel that it's not his turn to fight since there was no way this dinosaur would get up after getting struck really hard in its face.
The supercomputer would be right in the heart of this maze with the glowing keys and the holographic pass code screen just for the king to answer. Dedede can hear another car from the corner and scurried to the screen to do his work.
"You guys slow that reptile down while I get the data in this device of mines. Kirby, you can stay with me and see if everyone's doing good," he replied.
Kirby steps up the steel stairs with his rival to watch him do his part of the mission. The Stegosaurus arrives from the corner just in time for Tails, Axel, Ralph, Amy, Joe, and Alex Kidd to take on with his master standing beside him. He would look at Dedede working on the computer and have the idea to attack him where he stands instead of wasting their time with the forty heroes before them.
"Use Spike Arrows to destroy that computer and puncture that traitor!" the A-Team member commands.
This would cause the massive herbivore to let out a loud roar and grow spikes on the plates that reside on his back. Tails had a bad feeling about this and would be the first to attack him heady on with his Magic Hand. The blow was not enough to phase it due to his armored body and Amy would follow up with a blow to his head and Hitotama no Jutsu shots from Joe. Despite the pain this dinosaur was in, it was more focused on trying to stop everyone from retrieving that data.
"No matter what, just focus on shooting that computer. Take their blows like it's nothing since you are a tank!" he shouts.
Then Tank would grow into his full size and rammed the Stegosaur at full force with a Crystal Break attack. This would cause him fire his crystals into the ceilings to cause damage. Then Tank would follow up with a Quake Saber to stab his heavy opponent in the most vulnerable spot to make sure he doesn't move.
"Stegs, you can't be losing to that low level dinosaur easily. Get up and use Gaia…."
Bayonetta knocks out the man with a kick to his face to give everyone else enough time to hold their ground until the data is retrieved. Dedede is already going through the appropriate folders to find the weapons data he needs and clicks it to start uploading it into his device. Kirby still stares at the screen since he's astounded by the amount of data these villains has.
"Guys, give me about sixty seconds and this data should be on the device properly. Even then, I would like for Satan to do us a favor by warping everyone into the next room to speed things up," he clarified.
Satan would be looked at by Ulala since she knows that it was his turn to do all of them a huge favor. He would respond with a sigh due to be being under a lot of pressure.
"Yes, I think I can help you all get somewhere. But I would need the help of another powerful magician to help warp this many people without seeing them. This is where Arle comes into play since her magic is very special in comparison to mines," he states.
The blue wearing mage wouldn't be surprised that he needs her help and she rolls her eyes as if it was another one of his tricks to hold her hand.
"No thanks. I know what you're planning and I won't fall for it. And you'd think that I'd treat you any different from Schezo," she replied.
The demon lord face palms since its back to the usual smack talk with a difficult individual like her. Meanwhile, NiGHTS is fighting the last dinosaur with the help of Gamma and Alis to keep it from attacking their entire group with his owner held hostage by the Bonanza Bros. They were digging into his pocket to see if they had anything valuable of his other than his chip device to command his dinosaur to use elemental techniques. The aquatic prehistoric reptile would be constricted by Dragon NiGHTS to hold his move while Alis and Gamma hits the reptile in the more vulnerable spots. The rudie duo would be busy marking their territory with tags to show that they were here to mess up the Legion's plans. Terry finally defeats his opponent and roars victoriously above his heavily scarred body. Chomp finally reverts back into his original form after finishing off his opponent with Thunder Lance thanks to his leadership. Tank still pins the heavily armored dinosaur down to make sure he doesn't get up. Only the Iguanodon would finally get up and be on his way to take on the heroes with his own strength.
"Arle, you should know damn well that Ulala is the one for me now. We need to use our magic together to get us out of here safely and there should be no time for you to argue. Trust me, do this for all of your new allies and her," Satan begged.
Dedede finally gets everything he needs and shuts down the computer now that he got everything important.
"There, I'm finished. Now all I need is for you to get us out of here faster. Those Robot Masters need somebody to teach them a lesson," the king repeats.
Kirby could feel the earth dinosaur approaching due to his heavy steps and ran down the stairs in a hurry to his surprise. Tails and the others would be serious soon as the Altirhinus appeared from the corner with his smug partner since the two hated to be walked all over like they were nothing. Satan would see this and finally realize that the Puyo Hero unwilling holds her hands with him with a frown because it was for everyone's sake.
"Go ahead and work with me through magic. I'll believe you for once and this will be the one and only last time that we'll hold hands," she said a blushing face.
Schezo would fire his Lightning Spell at the dinosaur to harm him with Joe helping out with his more dangerous jutsus. Kirby inhales one of the stray fireballs to become his Fire Ability since he knows that the determined beast would still try attacking them. The two rivals would be glowing with immense power as they shared their magic in preparation of their next best spell. Amy would speak into her communicator to warn the other stray member that they would be warped altogether thanks to them.
"Everyone, back up and stop fighting since a portal should appear to take you to the next room. I repeat, make sure that those scaly idiots don't follow you!" she beamed.
NiGHTS instantly backs off from the defeated dinosaur like his two parts and the Bonanza Bros ran off with their new loot. The ChuChus would make sure they don't think about following them by creating a wall of flames with the flamethrowers of their mech. Even though this is a water dinosaur that can easily put out these flames by itself, the water dweller is too damaged to even move from its spot leaving the robbed and semi-naked A-Team member cursing at his failure. Both Arle and Satan are engulfed in enough magical energy as they slightly levitate from the charging. Fire Kirby is breathing fire to keep the Emerald Garden from reaching everyone behind him to the man's frustration.
"Are the two of you done yet?" Dedede asked.
Then a mass of portals would appear near everyone here within the maze thanks to the two's efforts to their surprise and relief. Kirby would stop breathing fire and group up with everyone else as the portals would swallow them completely. Max tips his hat with a smug grin to insult the defeated A-Team member before he disappear with NiGHTS taunting the blocked off dinosaur before they we warped. Now the first part of the mission is fully complete with the data retrieved and most of the Alpha Gang members would be disappointed in their humiliating defeat. Dr. Z would be watching from above in his hovercraft to see if everything went well and unsurprisingly he is angry that they were steps ahead of him in watching their defeat.
"Why do I even bother? If I want to put matters into my own hands, I would track them down and do it myself with my best trump cards," he complains.
In the next room, the rogue Robot Masters would be waiting in posts for their next prey to appear. Guts Man carries a huge slab of concrete he made out of frustration since he's been aching for fight for a while. Galaxy Man treks around the room in his UFO Mode with Tornado Man in case anything interesting would show up. Cut Man clips the blades on his head in rage and Ice Man would be annoyed by this.
"Cuts, why don't you stop doing that while I think. Don't you think that a true soldier should stand until Wily makes his next move?" the Eskimo-esque robot barked.
"Shut up, you should know that I do this when I'm impatient. These heroes should show up in any minute so that I can cut them down to size," the orange robot remarked.
Would you two just stop fighting? We weren't bought back for nothing since Lord Wily wants us to serve an important purpose," Splash Woman said.
Elec Man fires his Thunder Beam at a nearby wall in a flashy manner to get his fellow Robot Masters' attention.
"It's time to stop those heroes dead in their tracks by electrifying their weak hearts. That's something I've been yearning to do once I get a look at their innocent, yet frail faces," he said in a poetic manner.
Concrete Man and Hornet Man would notice a large portal forming before their eyes in a burst of magic.
"Fellow Robot masters. We've got company and it's big," the construction working robot exclaimed.
Fire Man would blow a fountain of flames out of his head to to show that his Flames of Justice are ready burn those who are "evil" in his eyes. Oil Man peers from his red scarf with a serious look while Time Man clenches his fist in anger. The portal would finally reveal the group of heroes in order of their appearance with the more important members like Dedede, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy in the lead. Just the sight of Mega Man alone was enough to excite most of the robots in the room since they have found memories of fighting him so long ago, especially the earlier DLN series robots.
"Well well well, if it isn't the blue bomber with his little Mega Buster to stop us. And it looks like he bought some friends that we can pound their faces in," Guts Man said before punching against his open hand.
"Finally, you have no idea how long I've been waiting to cut down your defenses and crack that exoskeleton of yours like a knife," the excited Cut Man said.
The robots would slowly approach the group of heroes with their weapons ready and borderline psychotic looks on their faces, some which would frighten some of the weaker heroes like Toejam's gang and the Bonanza Bros.
"So these are the Robot Masters you've been talking about. Most of then look a bit too happy to see you, Mega Man," the echidna said.
Dedede would be shivering slightly since he expected these mechanical menaces to be frightening and raise his hammer in defense. Rush grows at the rouge robots since he knows that they used to be close allies to Dr. Light only to be used as Wily's personal tools again.
"Listen, I know that some of you are still under his programming, but you aren't a group of killing machines and were meant to serve humanity. I don't want to fight any of you and I would like you to surrender peacefully," the Mega Man says while aiming his buster at the incoming robots.
"Chill out, soldier. It's only natural for us to serve a colder and more serious leader. Dr. Light was nothing but a silly old man that wants us to do community work instead of having some real fun," Ice Man remarks.
Cut Man takes his Rolling Cutter of his hand and clamps it as another one grows on his head.
"Cut the crap, Mega Pacifist. You'll always been a weak minded robot that tries to reason his way out of a fight. But guess what, we won't listen to you or that stupid old fool that made us into a group of robotic maids that serves him," he replies.
Tails takes out his Electron Cannon in case he needs to be the first one to attack until something unexpected happens. Mega Man would rush straight at Cut Man to punch him in his chest with a Hard Knuckle, this would eventually launch the scissors loving robot straight towards the wall for the other Robot Masters to dodge. Seeing Mega Man attack this suddenly would shock everyone behind him and Amy had feeling that something he said have upset him this easily. The other Robot Masters would be angry or excited at the Blue Bomber showing his true colors as the latter looks back at them with a cold stare that one wouldn't normally see on him. Cut Man would be too hurt to even move after that since its own of Mega Man's more heavy hitting weapons.
"Never insult a fantastic man like Dr. Light, especially since he made all of you to be miraculous creations that serve society well. But if you really want me to show you that I'm not a pacifist, then don't feel sorry for when I almost destroy you all a second time!" he angrily shouts.
Things are definitely going to be more action packed and frenzied now that the real gun begins. So the heroes would destroy a majority of Eggman's low level grunts with the Choatix hanging around to study their weapons on the walls. Then they would face Dr. Bad Boon's crazy mazes that AiAi would navigate so much when he deals with him. After Team Dark agrees to stay behind to face the crazy ape, Max would help the others face the five Alpha Gang members with their dangerous dinosaurs. Dedede would be lucky enough to get the data in time and the stubborn Arle would help use her magic to warp every with Satan's help. Now it is down to the Robot Masters to tango with the good guys and things would end on a good note with an angry Mega Man punching Cut Man for insulting his original creator. This series will be on a short hiatus since once again I'll be back in college starting next week. There is a possibility that Chapter 67 can be worked on for Spring Break, but I'm not making any promises since that would depend on certain circumstances like vacation. If it weren't to happen, then don't expect a new chapter until the third or fourth week of May when I'm out of class. That being said, I bid you all adieu as Phantom R would say.
