Big Red here with an extremely short update since I owe a certain friend a Lethal League match tonight. So instead of a recap, I will just say that this larger than average chapter will blow your mind. Just read it and be amazed at how close we are to this arc's finale.
The dramatic light from the resulting blast persists as if this were the end of the world for the parties among this war. Not a single voice could be heard or spoke during this brief momentary silence. This is true what's the result of something powerful being applied to another weapon for destructive results. The first voice that will speak comes from the man who is taking commands for the remaining men that actually survived Greedy's black hole.
"Damn it, that weapon is far superior than anything the Americans can do! It's a miracle that we didn't lose ourselves from its power. Selvaria, are you still there, comrade? I may have lost most of my Bolshevik soldiers, but at least I still have my drive to crush our enemies. Are you guys alright?" General Winter called.
"I'm still here Winter. The screens on the ship aren't picking up signs of anything yet. Perhaps our machines went down due to power overloads. I already have a few technicians working on it as we speak. Are you still there Morte?" the Valkyrian woman said.
"I can safely say that we are completely fine after using the Moonstone Cannon. But it appeared that the chamber overheated as a result and some crew members will have to work on it before we are able to use it again. We can't risk losing one of the Delphinus's best weapons," Aika said.
"But not the worry, the ship is still completely intact from the power overload. I'm sure if Winter just spoke, then everyone on the deck is alright as well. So I'm sure that Vyse would be proud and disappointed at what we did. It will take about an hour or less to clean up the chamber room before we can use it again in the future. But the real question is whether or not any significant damage was done to the ships," Fina wondered.
The crew members that Aika called for finally arrived in the room to help work on the broken glass and overheated power source for the room. These six workers were the current builders of the ship since Izmael left years ago to help rebuild a city since Ramirez's defeat. Most of them were male while some were female to keep things balanced aboard the Blue Rogue's ship. They all has a specific set of tools for fixing along with a large fan to help cool down the overheated power source.
"You guys know what to do. It shouldn't take long to rebuild everything in less than an hour. You all can trust me giving orders to the cannon gunners to fend off any more attacks," Aika said.
The crew would walk up to the damaged sight before them to begin their work under their current captain's orders. Fina would watch the two workers set up to fan to help cool off the generator the Master Emerald sat on. She wondered if working this hard while they fought wouldn't be a problem for them.
"Anyways, how are you doing Morte? You've been awfully silent since before we launched our counterattack," Aika spoke into her communication device.
Morte would be standing at a table with the two college aged stowaways that argue with each other over trivial things that she wouldn't want to listen to. Some would be about how Derrick isn't man enough to follow his own mind instead of abiding by the rules all the time unlike their parents. The girl herself is already tipsy from having one too many drinks while they ate and argued within the past twenty minutes.
"So what I'm saying is that you have to be sly like a spy instead of a cuddly marshmallow, Derrick. Why I've chosen to really hang with you is beyond me. I thought you would be the bad boy that would piss on all authority instead of being the law's personal lap dog. If that's how it is, then you've missed out on this!" she rambled in a drunken slurred speech.
The boy however would be still angry at her for spouting this nonsense while having too much wine in her system.
"Well at least I'm not the one who dragged their own loving boyfriend into the middle of a war where plenty of lives are at stake and we are in the middle of it. All of this because you owe some witch who would probably not be nice to us a favor. And here we are having dinner with a captain who should be doing her job instead of watching us!" he yelled.
Morte's right eye twitched as she endured the current conversation whilst ignoring the messages here allies had for her.
Why do I have to be stuck babysitting these problematic lovebirds again?
"Morte, how are things going on your end? We've been trying to get your feedback for a while now. I can understand what you doing is important, but this is urgent!" Selvaria shouts.
The red haired woman jumped from her ally's sudden outburst and the two would stop arguing from earlier. Britney struggles to keep herself still while under the influence of the red beverage even if the yelling caught her off guard.
"Yes, this is me. Sorry for being distracted by these two going back and forth after a good meal. I had the feeling the girl would lose herself when giving her the wine though. She literally said she can handle it, but I was foolish to do so!" she rambled in surprise.
Just the silence of Selvaria alone proves that she can't really process the information given to her.
"Are they safe where they are? That's all I wanted to ask of you. Things were pretty noisy after the Moonstone Cannon was fired and I want to know if everyone is completely unscathed. Is that clear?" she replied.
"Yes Selvaria, it's clear as ice. They are perfectly safe on the table and well fed. I'll make sure to keep watch of them while giving orders to attack. Now the real question is whether it would take long for Bayonetta and the others to get here. This girl is acting pretty skittish just to really give her thanks," Morte said in annoyance.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting ladies, but I would like to have a word with my fellow adventurer and second-in command Aika. She just needs my congrats for pulling off the Moonstone Cannon on her enemies without my permission," Vyse interrupts in a smug voice.
Aika shook her head while the crew continued working on the chamber behind her. Fina would simply pat her on her back with a smile being one of the more level headed members of the crew.
"Come on, where's my warm welcome from the best girl in the whole wide world. You honestly deserve it for taking care of the ship with Fina while I was gone. I really appreciate what you did back there even if there were huge risks of using that emerald with Knuckle's permission," he continued.
His words alone were enough to change Aika from a annoyed to actually surprised by the congratulations she received. This time, her face would be warm with a slight redness to it since they always stood for each other within their previous adventures. Her Silvite crew member would be surprised by how silent she went along with the lovely expression she had to his words.
What is happening to me? I can't be this surprised by him thanking me for doing a favor that he had always done. This is not the time for me to be like this. I need to finally make a stand for how I've been feeling about him since we departed from our last adventure.
"Aika, are you sure you're feeling alright. You were just like me after you gave me that kiss on Crescent Isle," he replied.
This would only make her face get redder since he still remembered that event during the time they stayed together at an inn. Fina would eventually grow more shocked since she never knew about this at all.
"Is it true, you really did kiss him?" she asked.
Aika didn't know how to answer herself with her put on the spot like this by both of her closest allies.
"Come on, tell Fina the truth. I've got to prepare for take off before Eggman's cronies try attacking us," he said.
The red haired sky pirate would finally take a deep breath and sighs with guilt on her shoulders.
"Yes, I've kissed him. But I only did it as a reward for his selfless actions and care for all of us a crew. But with how things are now, that kiss my have more meaning to it. Vyse, I've always viewed you as a good person I can always counted on when we kicked Valuan butt in the past. But with us trying to save this very world, you are the most important person in my life that I always look forward to working with since we started this grand plan to stop the Legion. You are definitely more than just as ally, but someone who's close to my heart like the skies are to the islands we wish to explore," she said sincerely.
Everyone would be silent within all of their lines, but the one who was impacted by her words the most is Vyse. He could feel his heart pounding in sync with him thinking of the times he had with Aika in the past. The Blue Rogues captain is now more focused on her as an individual over a simple thanks over her Moonstone Cannon feat. He thought to the day he protected her to earn the present shaped scar he is known for being one of the earliest memory that started their bond. The next thing that came to mind is how he accidentally peeked in her room through a hole before getting hit by her. It was one that got him into trouble, but he couldn't deny that she looked stunning with her hair down. The next memory he had detail the scene she talked about, him receiving a kiss from her on Crescent Isle. With the last memory, it was a scene of them fighting off the Silver Gigas that fused with Ramirez during their last fight on Dangnral Island. He eventually put his hand over his heart after these flashbacks with his heart pumping from his close ally's words.
Get it together, Vyse. You are a captain and this is uncalled behavior while we are in the middle of a mission. But what am I saying, I should be more honest with my feelings instead of keeping them in a dusty chest forever. She kissed me for a good reason and that shouldn't be ignored.
"Aika, you are to have another thanks for something that you've awakened. My compassion for you as a person needs to be recreated into something more meaningful: love. Hearing that I am a person you hold dearly to your big heart makes me feel more touched by your yearning for something bigger than trust. If it's one thing I'd like to do after we save this world, it's for us to be much closer as a couple like our old friend Enrique. Loving you would definitely be the thing I would enjoy the most if it's not for more adventures with this crew and our ship once this is all over. Thank you, fellow Blue Rogues crew member and my love," he said in honesty.
This answer would only pull more strings in Aika's heart with tears building after she smiled from his words. Selvaria would be slightly happy, if not proud, for the two getting their bonds tied together in a better way than how things went with Maximilian and Ramirez. She had no intention of crying herself since the bigger focus is on their enemy whom's fate is uncertain. Morte on the other hand is very happy for him since her relationship with Kyrie grew close before he repeated the world into something better than the one they've fought in beforehand. In fact, she would be shocked once she remembered what happened with him while he was outside.
What am I happy for when he is somewhere out there during the blast. I hope he used his power in time to protect himself.
"Vyse, I am so happy that things could be this way between us, but much bigger than our time Crescent Isle. Just hearing that you accept me as your companion of important just fills my heart with enough skies for a fleet. Thank you so much," she cried after her face is soaked with tears.
Vyse smiles upon hearing her words, but this a more genuine one compared to his usual smirks of confidence. He wished that this moment could last forever between the two of them if it weren't for the war.
"Uh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But you guys need to check this out since everything is finally clearing up. Also Vyse, you need to get everyone out of the ship since the gang had been having too much fun since you last told us about your victory," Morte said.
The smoke onto the screens would finally clear from view of all three individuals between airship and Delphinus.
"Oh, she's right. We'll have to talk more about this later and I promise that I will make it out alive for your sake Aika. Hang in there if what Morte said is true," Vyse said.
He cuts off the signal from her to have them focus on the enemy ahead. Fina would look at the screen for Aika as she held the device to her hear from his last words. Her face is still wet from the tears, but her heart is definitely in the right place to continue fighting for him.
Promise me that you will return to this ship safe and sound. I will make sure these ruffians get the best taste of their own medicine.
Now Britney is sleep from her mild hangover to give the captain the silence she needed to focus. Ecco swims around in his massive tank to see what is actually going on from the outside despite being under it.
"Is there anything wrong with the dolphin over there? He seems to be a bit startled," the brown haired boy said.
Morte still had her eyes set on the clearing smoke to see what became of their enemies. Mario along with Jack's group and Opa Opa's shooting trio still flies above the projected brown airship to see what really happened with them. The plumber noticed something was off with the appearance of a black ship before them.
"Just what I've expected. Those Subspace baddies are a still alive. I hope something good came out of it," he said.
"Look, something did come out of it! Notice that there are no more shields and the ship is covered with strange green sparks," Harrier said.
Everyone would notice that all three ships were affected by the same matter once all the smoke is gone, the shields indeed were completely removed thanks to the Moonstone Cannon's extended power. The enemy fleet that originally fought the heroes are mostly vaporized by the blast, even the supposedly improved Zeti Bots that Master Zik sent out to fight the heroes. Only a swollen Hypernova Kirby, Zephyr, and Isaac riding atop his red dragon from the protection of his power. This would shock the heroes and give him sighs of relieve since all wasn't completely lost from the blasts.
"So they really were impacted by the blast after all. But what does this mean about the functionality of their ships?'" Agent Seven asked.
Within the room of Ramirez's ship, everyone is surprised that they survived and mostly saw their attack as a laughing manner. The silver haired commander could only do nothing but stare at the very target that he wants to retaliate for their "futile efforts". It wasn't until Ashra sent him an urgent message about something that crushed their confidence.
"Ramirez, we've got a situation on our hands! The controls aren't working at all. The shields are down, our weapons are unstable, and we can't move a muscle the way we are now," he panicked.
Ramirez would eventually drop that feeling he had and question what really went wrong.
"Are you sure that there aren't anything working? Because we were able to shoot fine just earlier. I would care less about the shields as long as we can attack them head on," he shouts.
"Yes, I am pressing all the necessary buttons on this ship and they are indeed not working. Somehow it's a miracle that our screens can still work and this ship stays afloat. I just hope they don't plan on taking us all down with the same tactic," Ashra replied.
Ramirez would felt his heart sink in disappointment hearing that the Moonstone Cannon ruined their only means of defense and offense.
What!? But how did they do that? Unless it has something to do with that damn emerald!
"Come in Ramirez! Can you hear me? Our ship appears to not be responding as well. One of our pilots was able to tell us that we can't attack at all. This isn't looking too good the way things are now," Mishaela said from her screen.
Ramirez dropped his communicator in surprise with a more crazed look that expressed his shock.
"You too? That blast must have been powered by an emerald to do this much damage to all of us. Are you sure that you can't send a team up there to fix it? Mines is currently busy trying to fix the damage that blue abomination caused," he said.
It was now that Neff is being restrained by Balder and Zomom to prevent him from rampaging in rage for their plan to be falling part.
"Just as I feared. They would use those emeralds against us after collecting them. I had the feeling the blast seemed to powerful with how primitive it is compared to our black fortress. There is a seed of excellence that is guiding them to victory," Zik said in suspicion.
"I call bullshit! You sayin' that they used one of them crystal gems to make a mockery of our powerful ships? The Master of Carnage ought to jump out there and beat their asses until they bleed for doing that to us as well," the Black Baron complained from his screen.
This time, he is genuinely angry about this and tried to look around for the nearest minion to vent his frustration on. Rokkaku and the others would be cowering from their able since they didn't want to be his training dummy. But Reala would be just as angry as him since one of his fellow siblings, including Donbalon, got killed by the blast instead of being able to have any fun. It was one thing that truly upsets him and it's the idea of his own fellow Nightmarens to be made a fool of or killed early.
"This means war. If our ships can't be used to fight them. Then I will be the one to get out there and make them pay myself," the red Nightmaren said.
Isaac looks around to see that the back-up he had is completely dead with the fully protected Kyrie being the only one left to fight. The red flying beast he rode still had his eyes on the blonde boy, snorting in rage since its primal instincts were kicking in. Kyrie himself finally opened his eyes to see that his opponent still lives along with the bloodthirsty dragon that hungers for burning him.
"Aaaauuuggh! How did you survive that blast? Are you some form of superhuman with an ancient artifact of power?" he freaks after falling on his back.
The silver haired boy would laugh at his opponent's answer because of how spot on it was. His winged steed would growl because it was tired of waiting for the right time to burn him.
"I guess it's just you and me, you big coward. For someone who's equally as powerful as me, you sure act like you've never had the courage to warrant having it. If only Prince Ali were here to see this but I will probably defeat you before he leaves that ship," Isaac said.
He begins charging an immense amount of magic within his Silver Armlet to engage combat with his only opponent. Kyrie slowly stands up on his feet after his last words with the feeling that was sparked by his insult.
"We'll see about that when I take you on with my power. Your big red friend is also begging to have his wings clipped by me for being an ugly annoyance that is no better than the Ferals that I've fought before. There is no way that I'll be disappointing my fiancé, or the whole crew, by falling for your weak threats," Kyrie barked.
He charged dead at the red beast with both knives out for their intense fight. The dragon swings his claw at him to attack before he dodges him in a flash. He would suddenly roar in pain within a few seconds to Isaac's surprise.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" he yelled.
He would eventually notice that his forelimb is heavily scarred by lighting fast cuts that Kyrie himself did before he reacted. Isaac eventually released that power in a yell to catch were he went, which successfully hit him. But the protection from his power is what prevented that attack from severally hurting him and he tossed a large meal into the dragon's mouth. The red creature would gulp it from the force of his toss and begin to feel sick from what he ingested.
"No no no, you can't be eating anything this guy feeds you. I bet it must have been something that your species can't eat," Isaac complained.
Turns out this meal was indeed poisonous which slowly effected his vision and flying to hinder his master's goal of defeating Kyrie. Then Kyrie reappears with around ten knives in his hands to toss at the beast and boy below him.
"You know that you should never underestimate anyone you've come across. I am the man who destroyed this world once and recreated it!" he shouts.
Then the knifes would be fired onto the dragon's limbs and face at high speed with Isaac blocking one knife with his Silver Armlet. The beast's loud roar is a mixture of pain and sorrow due to the damage it received from its already poisoned body. Isaac would finally jump into action himself with the power of flight to keep himself afloat.
"Sorry big fella, but you are seriously slowing me down if you are losing to this pathetic guy easily. I'll take him on myself," he said scornfully.
The dying dragon would slowly descend from his pain only to roar again in tranquil rage since it wouldn't give up without a fight. This would slightly impress him whether he actually smiles instead of being annoyed by his earlier failing.
"Now that's more like it. We can finish this fool together with the energy we have," Isaac remarked.
Kyrie would appear right before him with a large sword to attack him, which he blocked with the Silver Armlet in time. The clash would be loud enough to be heard from all three of the malfunctioning ships and the nearby Reala that flew out to stop the heroes himself.
"Now where are the fools so I can make sure they don't dream well again," the red jester wondered.
He would eventually see Kyrie and Isaac engaged in serious combat within forty feet ahead of him along with his red dragon to cover from the air with his flames. He eventually noticed Mario and the others towards Morte's airship in the back where he had a special plan for them.
There they are, right where I can knock them out of MY sky. This will teach them not to mess with me or my master's plans.
"Morte, you might want to take a look at this. Kyrie is actually fighting back against one of their strongest members Isaac. He's got an artifact of immense power known as the Silver Armlet, which another host related the prince of Oasis used to nearly rule the country. The match seems pretty close, but I would keep an eye on those two since things would get heated as the villains just plot whatever plans they have to stop them. They won't be able to bother us with their shields and weapons disabled," Selvaria said.
Morte just got done covering Britney's face with a sleeping mask with her back lied against the chair doing her drunken nap.
"Good to hear that he is back into fighting again like old times. But you may be right that they may stop him with whatever dirty tricks they've got. Meanwhile, we are simply to stall them while the heroes are finally leaving the ship. Speaking of that, I wonder what's taking them so long? Wouldn't it be too far fetched for Shadow to just Chaos Control them back to the exit with their vehicles?" she said.
This is where Selvaria would feel obligated to send another message to one of the heroes to check on them. She sends the signal from the device on her wrist to check on them while waiting for feedback. The Valkyrian woman patiently waits since things aren't too bad, but their mission is already over with most of their enemies dispatched.
"Are you already contacting them? I'm just slightly worried about Vyse since he's been taking a complete while to really leave. Or maybe it's because I'm becoming too clingy for his second in-command," Aika said in concern.
"Not to worry Miss Aika, it's fairly normal for any superior officer to be concerned about her superior's whereabouts. It's only naturally given the same would become of me back when I was a part of the European army. But we have bigger things to worry about instead of me going back to the past," Selvaria replied.
Then the signal finally came up to reveal Vyse back in the weapons room with his allies and the prisoners to leave the place. It would be safe to conclude that Shadow helped them get there due to the danger of certain villains on their tail from the break-in. The Chaotix are also there with everything they've needed from the beginning, even with the construction of new weapons to reverse the effects of the Petrifaction Guns that their enemies used.
"I see things were already going good with you guys. You all are just one hall away from reaching the deck and reporting back to the ship. I would like to congratulate you on your mission of saving Sonic and the others without getting into any problems. Would it be nice to have a word with the hedgehog before I end transmission?" she explained.
"And it's good to see that you are doing good on your side with my own Aika crippling their defenses with the Moonstone Cannon. I could go on about what beautiful words she did, but I'm sure she completely gets it now. With us knowing the secret to the Petrification Gun and its weakness, there will be no doubt that we will save all the people that are frozen instead of being currently used as shells for the Shadow Fiends. We'll easily do the honors of leaving immediately to reach our ships and head out of there. Rouge also helped disabling their main weapon systems so that they won't be able to do a thing to us. This whole operation went smoothly with little deaths and some stalling. Sure, you can talk with him in a bit before we all quickly leave the room," he replied.
The Blue Rogues captain stepped aside to give Sonic enough screen time to speak with the woman that led them to this location. He didn't know how to respond since she was the one who last hurt him like the other villains before she betrayed them.
"So uh…. you are on our side as well?" he said nervously.
Selvaria still gave him the look of a professional since she wants to get down to business before they can leave.
"Yes, I am simply helping your allies retrieve you safely along with the others that had a similar faith to you. But now that the mission is complete, I would like to say that you have a big day ahead of you with the final war against the Legion and they have still have one emerald in their possession. We don't know what they need them for and how long until "The Dark One" appears, but you are the one savior this planet needs when we decided to strike back at full power. For now, we can focus on building more strategies at the G.U.N. HQ after we escape the skies. Is this too much for you to process?" she said.
Sonic takes another chili dog that Phantom R gave him before heading to the exit with the other group of people that leaves.
"Hey, thanks for the chili dog pal. I'll be able to get to the ship and talk with you later!" he called.
He mindfully knows that she still wants to talk with him after taking a bite.
"Sorry, I'm still starving since the time I've stayed there. I completely understand that will have to be the one to kick Eggman's butt as always, even with his bigger plan of turning the entire world into his slave factory. This Dark One from what I can understand without a doubt has to be the successor of the Time Eater in order to pull off something on a bigger scale. I don't mind having to save my reunion with him until after to build an effective strategy of defeating him with everyone's help. I do know that they want all seven emeralds in order to bring him into this world which thankfully won't won't happen. I have the scary feeling that he is on his way here to stop us before we can leave," the hedgehog explains.
Selvaria thankfully nods to what she heard before looking to see who things went on the outside. Both Reala and Neff were already picking fights with Jack's group for ruining the flow of their ships. The fire belled salamander creature breathes a stream of fireballs to burn down the planes that carried Jack and the 7th Dragon duo while Opa Opa blasts his shell.
"You all made the big mistake of messing with us. So die!" Reala shouts before drilling into Harrier headfirst.
AGES is already struggling to shoot him own because of his great acrobatics and superior speed. Meanwhile, Balder is giving Isaac assistance by pitting a white Fortitudo against Kyrie with his knife attacks proving to be inferior.
"Shoot, I've got to use the stronger techniques if this dragon is too strong compared to my best attacks. Even my poison meals are failing to effect him," he said as the two villains corner him.
This would lead into the Dark Demon, Black Baron, Misheala, Purge, the remaining Deadly Six minus Zavok, Turbo, Psycrow, and Guan Yu overpowering Segata and Chaos on one of their ships before he could help his allies. The man would be able to concentrate his strength to defeat one of them if this many villains were dog piling and attacking him from many directions.
"Friends, hurry or else my days of promoting the Saturn is over. Ple…pleeeassee," he said with all the pain he is receiving.
Selvaria would be disgusted at how they are going all out to really stop her from being the victorious one on the battlefield.
"I think we are in need of your assistance to stop these fools from attacking our allies. We would help with our ships, but that would risk putting them in danger. Just hurry outside with the others and we'll make sure to make our escape. Sorry we have to end this call like this," she said.
Then the signal would be shut down on the communicator given to Sonic. It was now down to him, Beat, Gum, the Bonanza Bros, Shadow, Rouge, Vector, Mighty, Espio, Gamma, Omega, Cream, Big, Amy, Knuckles, Tails, Prince Ali, Mega Man, Gear, G, Varla, Chuck, Ristar, Charmy, Amigo, AiAi, Vyse, BD Joe, Axel Stone, Blaze, Ryo, Honey, Columns, Gilius, Tyris, Eliot, Akira, Alex Kidd, Billy Hatcher, Cipher, and Kiryu waiting in the last room before they can escape. Cube and Meemee would be the last ones to be in the door before one of them called their allies back.
"Come on, don't you guys want to leave along with the rest of us?" the black haired goth shouts.
"We'll be there just in a sec! It would be kind of rude if we left Vyse and Sonic alone while they still communicate with Selvaria," Rouge called.
"But they aren't wrong. We have to get out of here with everyone else. I can sense something big heading our way and it's best not to entertain them," the black hedgehog said with his arms crossed.
Then the massive steel gates within the door would suddenly slam before Cube and Meemee before the others and there chance to leave. Everyone would realize that they were not alone when the door finally locked on them.
"What? The hell just happened while we were here?" Beat said.
Sonic and the others had a bad feeling thats something wasn't right when the locks were clearly disabled in the control room.
"Are you sure you made sure that the controls wouldn't work when we were up there Rouge?" Shadow said. "
Eeeek eeeek eeeew eeek," AiAi angrily hoots when he lost his chance of leaving with his wife.
Then Gamma sensed something fast heading Sonic's way before jumping in the way to save him.
"Look out!" he shouts.
Then a familair blue foe would appear and kick the E-Series robot away with a powerful strike. Sonic got a good glimpse of this blue attacker and recognized him once he got a look at his red eyes.
So you finally decided to show up for that long wanted reunion? It's good that my old rival isn't fine with me leaving so soon.
"Gamma, are you alright?" Shadow asked.
Ristar would reach out for the blue intruder before he could escape, causing the blue doppelgänger to glare at him.
"He's a little gift for hurting our friend!" he called.
Then he slammed himself against the intruder to knock him towards the steel door.
"Good work, Ristar. A fool like that should know better than to try stopping Sonic from leaving," Gear said.
Alex Kidd and Tails rushed in to help fix any serious injury that Gamma received from Metal Sonic's surprise attack.
"Everyone, get ready. Because he's finally here to say hello and probably ramble about how brilliant his plans are," Amy said with her hammer ready for a beating.
"I heard that, pink pest! You better be lucky that you weren't the one held prisoner unlike my blue nemesis. In fact, none of you are allowed to leave after thinking you could humiliate me and insult my own intelligence. Your little friends on the outside are already getting crushed by my fellow Legion members after you though ruining their ships was enough to force them to flee," an angry older voice shouts.
Sonic and others grew extremely cautious since it was none other than Dr. Eggman who stopped by just to trap them for whatever ready he had. A large red machine similar to the Egg Dragon would make its way inside the room with some new improvements to separate it from it's formerly serpentine design. He now has a pair of drill hands near the chest, hatchers on the wings for extra fire power, and a retractable whip instead of a permanent tail befitting of his more warrior like approach for the fight. Everyone grew cautious with the appearance of this deadly machine that was build for destroying all of them in the room. Vector and the Chaotix got into their battle rotation the they've practiced for a situation like this. Vector posed in the back with Espio and Charmy posing to the side and Mighty kneeling down for a crouching pose.
"Are you sure that we should be doing this?" the armadillo asked.
"Trust me Mighty, this will be needed to give us that mojo we need for the fight," the determined crocodile replied.
Metal Sonic would rise from the dent he caused in the door and lets out another powerful screech to express his rage at being attacked by an enemy that ain't Sonic.
"He's about the come back. Make sure you hit him harder like the last time, Star Kid," BD Joe said.
"I wouldn't be so sure that he would be able to be defeated easily like the last time. I've fully redesigned Metal Sonic with some stronger capabilities and new weapons to take all of you down easily. Think of this as my way of saying that all of you are in deep trouble for making a fool of a genius like me. You all better be truly sorry for ever getting in the way of my plans or attacking this ship. Any last words before I destroy you all?" the angry scientist said from his massive machine's cockpit.
Sonic clenches his fists with his might as he stared down his old nemesis that approached him and his allies.
"If you think that we will be scared or back down from your maniacal plans, then you are delusional in many ways. I've fought my fair share of crazy people, but you are in a whole new class of crazy for thinking that you can do what you want with this planet," Kiryu said in his usual serious tone.
"The Yakuza is right. You are sick in the head if you think that we are going to bow down to that overgrown trash can of yours, Eggface. If Rokkaku wasn't taken serious by me, then you should be in that same category easily," Beat shouts.
"Yeah and the morning light will always shine for the people of this world. Drowning it in darkness will do you no good at all. You need to be stopped while there are people suffering from your mistakes," Billy said.
"You are no fun when it comes to judging the fate of this world. I bet that you are the type that fails at making a puzzle when given the chance. Just walk away or else we will be forced to crush your precious toy," the Greek goddess said.
Eggman would have his patience tested when he applies the settings for his best weapons for these fools before him.
"Like Death Adder, you must be stopped at all costs before you cause any harm to this planet. If I went out of my way of going on this quest to stop the likes of you, it will certainly happen for the sake of the gods," Gilius said his his powerful axe out.
Shadow and Rouge would get into their best battle poses before their long time enemy.
"Enough of the short talk, just get out of our way or else we will make scrambled eggs out of you. You are nothing more than a pathetic waste of our time while we have better things to do," Shadow said.
This would be enough to make Sonic and Knuckles chuckle a little since this is the first time he not only joked, but burned Eggman to the core with such an insult. Loud banging could be heard from behind the door since its sudden closure. Ralph, Zobio, the ChuChus, and Centurion are working together to help bust their friends out after they heard it being closed.
"Just keep wrecking the door guys. Nobody gets left behind on our watch, even if it another bad guy wants in on the action," he yells.
The four strong heroes were doing their best to damage the extremely hard steel of the door in order to break them free. Metal Sonic finally flies out of the smoke after his attack to get revenge on the yellow attacker that insulted its strength.
"Leave the blue robot to me, I'm the one he wants and the only one who can keep up with his speed. Anyone else can feel free to help or take on Baldy McNosehair while he's boiling from Shadow's third degree burn," Sonic said.
This would excite and enrage Metal at the same time since he's been waiting years to finally fight his organic rival again like the good old days. Beat and the others would notice one of the guns on Eggman's Egg Dragoon Mk III being points at them with flames building in the barrels from the press of his button.
"The only one that needs to burn around here is you and the rest of your inferior friends. No one dares insult the smartest genius in the world and gets away with it!" the scientist yells.
"Everyone, get out of the way!" BD Joe shouts.
The flames were fired and burns the entire ground at a large radius as the heroes scrambled from the spot he fired. Akira, Jacky, Blaze, Axel, Honey, Kiryu, and Ryo were the last ones behind that narrowly escaped the incoming flames that chased them. The ex-Yakuza member can feel the high intensity heat creeping in the back of his suit as he escapes Death's reach.
"Shit, these flames are too fast!" he shouts.
Ristar grabs a rocket launcher that hangs on to wall to keep out of reach of the red pool of fire.
There's got to be something I can hit on that mech.
He would notice the cockpit that contains Eggman that rests atop the barrel chested machine that contains enough firepower for napalm bombs. This would lead to him reaching his long black arms for the unprotected cockpit and launch himself at the speed of a bullet. This severely damaged the glass, but not enough where it can break because of the adjustments he made with this machine compared to the original model.
"Nice try, how about something served cold to freeze that stupid face of yours," Eggman said.
He aims the other gun at Ristar to shoot a rapid fire blast of ice shells at him. The shooting star would be severely damaged and frozen from this attack, which got the attention of Billy.
"Cipher, unfreeze Ristar and try melting that scrap's face!" he called.
The Fire Egg Animal launches himself as a massive flaming projectile to save his friend.
"How about this!" Eggman shouts with the gun aimed at Cipher.
The ice pellets would be completely melted due to the severe heat of this Egg Animal then he causes an explosion of flames before Eggman. The unconscious Ristar fell before Gamma snatched him in time before his ex-master could think about hurting him. The extra drill hands would appear from the smoke to fire both drills at the heroes before them.
"Leave this to me!" Knuckles said.
He glides toward the incoming drills to execute his Maximum Heat technique to destroy them. Instead, they survived his best attack and still crashed onto the ground thanks to their shells.
They didn't get hurt by the attack at all?
Then the drills begin to rapidly overheat which gave Rouge the signal it was time to run.
"Everyone, they are going to blow!" she yells.
Everyone splits up from the center of the room before they erupt into violent explosions. Meanwhile, Sonic and Tails were taking on the devious Metal Sonic from above in a high speed chase and fight. The fox's best weapons could not harm the blue robot thanks to his Black Shield and great dodging.
"It's going to take more than just gadgets to hurt him Tails. Try cornering him and we can take this guy out together," Sonic called.
This was until Metal Sonic would charge at him with his Maximum Overdrive attack, one of his strongest moves that can easily hurt the two if they were unlucky enough to get hit by it.
"And it is time for us to evade him," Tails quickly said.
The two would split up to dodge the whirling electrical madness that approached them It quickly turns to the right to chase after the blue hedgehog that ran alone the walls next to it. This would be safe as it's also risky due to unused bombs being hanged on the walls that can explode if Metal Sonic where to crash into then. He performs several Quick Steps to dodge the incoming guns that would trip him if he weren't careful enough. The spinning Metal Sonic would still approach him showing no sighs of tiring down unlike his first model during the time Eggman wanted him to kidnap Amy.
Yes, keep following me, chrome dome. You know that hitting me is exactly what you want.
The whirling Metal Sonic would lunge at Sonic continuously for him to dodge every single attack by jumping. During these attacks, the bombs were detonated and blew up in his face multiple times. But it would take more to tire out this metal monstrosity since defeating Sonic is what he hungers for in this fight.
"Come on, step it up! You can't be failing to hit someone like me after all them years!" Sonic called.
The arrogant blue robot would continue attacking the walls to attempt hitting him with more bombs blowing up. This would easily leave him vulnerable to Tails hovering above him with a fully charged Electron Cannon to blast him down.
"Now Sonic, let me send a shock to his system!" he yells.
The Blue Blur runs out of the way for a massive blast of electricity to be fired on Metal Sonic and the next bomb. This time, the blast dissipates his electric generated shield and disrupts his spinning completely.
"Oh yeah!" he cheers.
The hurt blue robot would glare at his attacker before he launched himself at him as a spinball. This would knock Tails out of the air and lead him to spiral downwards. Shocked by what he saw, this led and angry Sonic to retaliate with a Light Speed Dash and powerful punch to his face.
"Never touch my pal or else your metal butt will get crushed!" he said with a never before seen tensity in his eyes.
Amy noticed the falling Tails from above and quickly launches a pink tornado to save him.
"Hold on Tails, this will keep you from hitting the ground!"
This plan was successful with the hurt fox resting atop the sailing mass of funnel wind. She sighs in relief with Knuckles wondered why did he get hurt.
"Metal Sonic did that to you, didn't he?" he asked.
He would look up again to see the two engaged in light speed combat to show him that it wasn't safe enough for anyone to join in.
"Let me get up there and help him. You guys can help take on Eggman if you put your heads together," he said.
"Hey, you can't just leave me out of the fun. I would like to see that Sonic reject try me when I show him why I'm the Ultimate Lifeform," Shadow said.
The echidna had the feeling that he would say that since he is another one of Sonic's rivals, but one who's closer to him as he is with Metal Sonic. This would lead him to chuckle slightly from the black hedgehog's words which left the later confused.
"What's so funny? You don't believe that I'm the one worthy enough of being Sonic's equal?" he said.
Knuckles would look back at him with his usually smug grin when he's excited for a fight.
"Who said anything about me underestimating you Shadow? I like the way you think. Perhaps you and I can join Sonic if we want to show that metalhead who's boss," he said.
For the first time in a while, Shadow actually smirked along with his red rival and laughed at his response.
"I like the way you think too, Knucklehead. Let's see who can race to the top and help before you're declared the loser," the smug hedgehog replied.
Then he began running up the wall with his skates before the red devil begins following him to accept his challenge.
This guy is quite the comedian. I'll show him everything about me that makes me Sonic's best competitor.
Eggman would fire a volley of ice shells out of his new gun in a machine gun-like manner to hit Alex Kidd, Big, Billy, and Cipher. The cat had his best pole out with a fire lure to burn any shells that were aimed at him.
"You all are merely ants that need to be crushed if you think you will ruin the only plan I had going for this world. Just give up and die already!" Eggman yells with his bald head scrounged in a permanent scowl.
He would also aim the secondary arms to fire more exploding drills at the defenseless human fighters that were running.
"We've got something big heading out way!" BD Joe shouts.
Columns would activate her wall of powerful jewels to protect them from these incoming drills.
"Just stand behind me and cover those ears, mortals. It would be shame to lose against this devilish fiend," she said.
But Varla would eventually fly from behind it with her own plans for Eggman.
"Varla, where are you going? She was going to protect us!" G called.
The emerald powered zombie woman had little intention of running anymore and wanted to help destroy the enemy before them. She grabs the spinning drill just in time with her strength to stop it completely with her own hands overheating from the friction and internal head of the explosive material.
"Just what are you doing? You are going to get your own body destroyed that way," Ryo yelled.
But the determination she had to stop Eggman tells her body to keep acting on its own before she could do the things about it. Eggman would use the tail like flail held over his shoulder to prepare attacking the drill before it can hit him.
"You honestly think you can use my own weaponry against me? Now burn to ashes, you insignificant being!" he snarled.
The undead showgirl would eventually charge her way at him despite the metal flail being swung towards her from above.
"Now take this drill and shove it down your ship's asshole, you fat prick!" she yelled after tossing it.
The flail would knock her towards the ground from the force before the drill finally hit the Egg Dragoon for an explosion. That tactic would be worth the risk since his weapons were stronger, but they would be seen as a weakness since they can deal significant damage to him.
"Good idea, now you can leave it to me and Gum since we got some soul to spread for his machine!" Beat yells.
Eggman would still fire his ice gatling gun at the two rudies that skate his way with there next plan. Axel and Blaze would join them as well since they had another idea to help fully dispatch the angry scientist.
"I think I may have plan, but you would have to follow my lead for it to work," the blonde cop said.
"Cool, mind laying it down on us while we are almost there?" Gum said with a smile.
The drills would be launched at the four again for them to flip or sidestep to dodge them. Beat already took out his beat can of spray paint for his devious plan of ruining it with his soul marking.
"Just tell us what it is. I'm hungry to give him the mark of our gang right now," he said with a devious grin.
"Remember how Ristar couldn't hurt the cockpit and he just got harmed by his own weapon? We need to find ways of distracting him until launching it and we use the ammunition against him. This may not work with his ice shells or flamethrower, but those exploding drills will definitely be ideal for it to work," Axel said.
This plan would have Beat and Gum looking at each other before they nod in agreement of their allies' plan. They weren't the only ones in on this special plan, Amy told Big how his fishing pole and strength would come in handy for grabbing the drills and using them against Eggman. And this was based on her observing Varla's risky tactic of doing it.
"We're in for it. Now all we have to do is tick him off in order for the plan to work," he said.
The smoke before them clears to reveal an angry Eggman beginning to fire the shells from his massive gun barrels.
"This is the end of the line, heroes. Time to drop dead once these napalm bombs fire at you!" he shouts.
The flaming red shells fired all at once for the rudies to jump into the air with their strength and Axel splitting up with Blaze. Vyse appeared just in time with his Skull Shield to block the devastating attack easily with the ominous green skull pirate taking the hits for him.
"What do you think you are doing to my allies?" he said with a smile.
AiAi launched himself at Eggman to hit the cockpit rapidly to annoy him. The banging glass would kick him around his seat and piss him off further.
"You annoying primate, get off of my mech!" he shouts.
He smacks him away with the machine's gun arm in rage. Then a storm of massive maracas would be raining on top of his machine due to Amigo scoring high on the Vamos a Carnivale song that he plays with ease. He would eventually fire his flamethrower again to burn the music playing annoyance. Efreet appears just in time to take the hit for Amigo thanks to Prince Ali summoning him in time.
"You call that a hit? I've felt hotter in the caverns of Oasis!" the smug Fire Spirit said.
Eggman would only get briefly angry before the two rudies were already marking their paint on his machine. These special properties of the paint weren't enough to significantly damage it, but weaken the best parts that granted it the best defense.
"What do you call an Eggman that is hardboiled and painted with the best colors?" Beat said.
Gum eventually blows a kiss at the special sign she sprayed the Egg Dragoon's arm.
"An Easter Egg!" she replied before the two begin laughing at him.
Before he could press the next button, he would hear heavy bumps against the main body. Both Axel and Blaze were beating it with their best skills to get on his nerves.
"Grand Upper!" he yells before scraping the midsection with a powerful uppercut.
Eggman would aim the ice gun towards the two fighters and his drill arms at the rudies.
"Get off of my prized machine, you nitwits! Just cease from existing!" he shouts.
The two skating teens would jump high into the air before the exploding drills chased after them. Blaze and Axel however anticipates the ice shells that fired at them. A Dragon Punch and Kikoushou were enough to knock some of the shells back the Egg Dragoon's chest. Rouge also joined in to kick the remaining shells with her fast attacks.
"I don't know what you guys did to think of this, but it's a great plan," she said.
Beat and Gum joined in to kick of the drills together to knock it back towards the machine below them. Seeing this would get Metal Sonic's attention while he struggles to fight Shadow, Knuckles, and Sonic at the same time.
"Hey, keep your eyes on us if you want to beat us!" the echidna says while punching him.
Metal Sonic eventually charges at the echidna in rage before Shadow greets him with a kick to his face.
"You better watch those blind spots of yours if you think you can take on all of us at once," he remarked.
Then Sonic would execute a Homing Attack to hit him from the front. It wasn't until he activates his Black Shield to lessen the impact and save himself. Sonic bounced back and stopped his spinning to take a long at the familiar prism shield.
"Very clever, but I'm sure it won't withstand all of us attacking at once," he said.
He begins attacking it with consecutive Homing Attacks along with Knuckles and Shadow, who decided to join in after hearing his words. The rapid strikes from all directions were absorbed by the purple energy shields to take all hits. Gamma and Omega would attempt shooting at the damaged Egg Dragon to cause even more pain to their massive target. Another drill it fired to stop them from attacking until a fishing line grabs it to be flung back by Big.
"Stand back everyone, I will smash this drill on the count of three!" he said.
More Ice Shells were launched for a Dualized NiGHTS to overpower each and every one with timed hits. Having Eliot pilot the Nightmaren from within his body is exactly what he needed in order to have the full extent of his strength. These bullets would be slowly sent to different parts of the machine, even the flail that it was going to lash him with.
"How about you pick on somebody with you own size, metal fiend!" the purple jester yelled.
Good, he's already losing that so called defenseless shell of his's. It's good to be flying within my friend NiGHTS again. Reala will definitely get something in store for what he did to me and those other children.
The Bonanza Bros would give the two red robots something special that can give them that boost of strength they needed to stop him.
"Here ya go, it's on the house. That way the egg faced bozo can finally leave us alone," the tall red thief said.
The two robot scanned the red gem to realize the potential in getting more fire power from this mystic gem the villains wanted. Eggman would notice it from afar and grew more determined to take it from them despite the damage on all of his limbs and the broken flail.
"You get back from the emerald this instant! I'll deal with you pests later!" he said.
He launched more napalm bombs out the broken slots to blow away the nearby heroes that were enjoying him within these last few minutes.
"Guys!" Billy yells after witnessing the surprise attack he pulled.
The consecutive explosives gave him the clear signage to dart for the red gem that he wanted to take. Amy threw her Piko Piko Hammer at the robot to distract him before he thinks about taking it.
"I have no time for you, insignificant girl. That emerald should be in their rightful hands," says before he smacks her away.
It was a good thing Espio caught her in time before she hit the wall from that last attack.
"Choatix, slow him down before he gets any ideas!" the chameleon ordered.
The smoke cleared to real that Rouge and the others were protected by Vyse's Skull Shield and Tails's Guard Bot before anyone was seriously hurt by hist attack.
"It seems that I've missed out on a lot after Metal hit me. But we've got to stop him before he takes the emerald away from the Bonanza Brothers!" he said in distress.
Vector blows multiple explosive bubble gum bombs alone with Mighty's Fake Ring tosses and Charmy's electric stingers to attempt slowing him down. He would only retaliate with a quick drill shot at them. Both Akira and Jacky teamed to deal their strongest martial arts techniques to reject the incoming projectile's path from hitting either allies.
"Thanks a bunch you two. But we could have handled it ourselves," the overconfident croc said.
Then the Egg Dragoon would be blasted by various fire explosions and lightning strikes to damage the weakened parts of its body. This is the result of Gilius and Tyris attacking him with their best spells.
"Now who's the true ant?" the green wearing dwarf said.
The angry scientist would eventually fire all of his best weapons at the two in rage to stop them. But little did he know that certain superstar was back for revenge from freezing him earlier.
He grabs one of the drills and quickly headbutts it while saying, "Try this one for size, baldy!"
Eggman would reach out for the thieves and robots before him in desperation of the emerald he wanted. Then the reflected drill would blow a large portion of his mech's chest off from the impact it received from Ristar's light speed headbutts.
"Oooffff, you little…," the scientist grumbles.
But it was far too late for him to take the emerald back since Gamma and Omega were now strong enough to reduce their ex-creator's best toy if they wanted to, which was exactly what they wanted.
"Ready brother?" the larger E-123 robot asked.
"I was created to be ready for annihilation, little brother," Gamma replied.
With enough dents from behind the steel door, Ralph and his friends were making progress in breaking it down due to the amount of superior steel used for locking. Zobio's brain eating instincts also helped for him to contribute to most of the damage since he knows that something is going on back there.
"Just keep going, friends. We shouldn't be too late to break inside. I can smell plenty of them having to fight something much tougher than what we faced here," the transformed Centurion snarled.
The door is weakened with plenty of dents from these four powerhouses, but it would take more for them to really break through and save their friends. Eggman would already be rattled by a series of Chaos Emerald powered bullets and missiles to blow off or damage whatever weaponry he had left to defeat his own foes. He struggles to activate the flamethrower again until the readings on his screen reminded him that it is under too much damage to fire. His drill hands also erupted from overheating thanks to the blasts, leaving behind broken limbs covered in sparks.
"Keep it going guys, he's about to go down soon!" Ryo said.
Now Alex Kidd, Billy Hatcher, Amigo, Amy, Knuckles, Tails, Chuck, and Big would grab at the loose flail and begin by lifting. The echidna joined in with a new plan after witnessing the exposed flail due to Shadow doing enough damage to Metal Sonic for his blue friend to need any more assistance.
"Alright guys, we are about to send this egg flying to that pan in the back so it can crack like a shell. Just keep holding on and start swinging him on my mark," Knuckles said.
"You can count on us, Knuckles. Because he deserves something much worse than being served on a platter," Bill Hatcher said.
Eggman frantically press the buttons of all of his weapons on the screen as they gave off warning signals for the critical damage he received.
"Warning! Warning! Critical damage detected to every single weapon on the Egg Dragoon Mk III! Proper evacuation is needed," the computer said.
Eggman would eventually throw his tantrum to bang the keys before him.
"No, no, no! It isn't fair that something I've worked so hard on goes down easily because of Sonic or his friends having the upper hand! Life isn't so fair after all!" he whined.
He eventually felt the weight of his machine being moved as the the screen he's looking at begins to spin. It turns out to be Knuckles and his allies plan to swing his mech around like a massive flail to bust them out. Amy holds onto her part tight like everyone else as they continue swinging it around. The non-participating heroes would back up from the spinning robot to avoid being hit by it. Ristar quickly joins in to grab a part behind Big to help spin the robot around. The fight between the two hedgehogs and Metal Sonic would come to a conclusion after he sustained enough heavy damage from the two of them. His eyes flickered within the black screen due to heavy damage as smoke and electricity rises from his body. Even his own arms struggled to auction due to being overpowered by the two speedy fighters at the same time. He could only whisper a series of static bleeps to say his final words before he is finished off for good. The blue hedgehog would stand on the opposing wall beside his dark furred rival with the perfect way to end this fight.
"Just like old times, isn't it? Just the two of us kicking butt together," Sonic said with a smug grin.
Shadow scoffs, but this time in a friendlier manner due to his equally smug grin.
"Save the soft talk for later. We've got to put an end to this tin can quickly since Robotnik is probably giving them a hard time down below," he said in a snarky manner.
The two would bounce off the wall and evolve their pose into that of flying kicks for the defeated doppelgänger before them. The impact of their kick would shatter Metal Sonic's entire body in a resulting explosion from the attack. The disembodied head would now have its trademark red eyes die from the dismemberment as it flew to the other wall from the force. The other parts of his body like the arms and legs would continue falling down into the ground below. Gilius noticed one of the legs as it clanked onto the floor as did everyone else near him.
"That limb could only mean one thing," the dwarf said.
"That Metal Sonic is down for the count thanks to Sonic beating him at his own game," Honey said.
"Why don't you give Shadow some credit as well. He did go out of his way to help fight him up there," Rouge said.
Eggman however screams from the spinning that he experiences inside the ship as his head begins to get dizzy.
"Can somebody please stop this thing?" he echoed from the glass.
It wasn't until two familiar faces would arrive in the room to see what was happening with there fellow ally. One of them would be outright furious since no one makes a fool of his allies.
"Hey, that's my pal you are spinning. Why don't you pick on someone your own size, cowards!" a gruff voice said.
The heroes had no time to see who it was since they are too focused on spinning.
"It's Bowser, that big shelled meanie that held us prisoner here!" Cream said.
"Chao Chao Chaoooooooo!" her Chao pal screeched.
Bowser would recognize the bunny that stood near his enemies very well, only to chuckle slightly.
"Good, we finally cornered the culprits where they are. All we need to do is crush them while they are still trapped before we continue with our plans," the devious Koopa King said.
The remaining heroes would get their weapons and fists ready for this next fight they would have now that the remaining masterminds is standing before them.
"Wily, this is the end of the line for your plans of global domination. Just stop what you are doing since we already ruined most of your future plans, the subspace bombs and emeralds," Mega Man threatened with his buster cannon aimed.
The semi-bald scientist could only respond with crazed laughter because of his "cute" threat along with the fact that he is far from right.
"Good old Mega Man, thinking that he always has me beat when he is FAR from correct. You should be the one giving up since your little friends from the outside are getting overpowered by us after what they did to their ships. The best you can do is stay where you are so we can hold you all prisoner for stealing our prisoners," Wily said.
Prince Ali summons Dytto the water fairy to help him fight these incoming villains that confront them. Bowser would notice the Golden Armlet on his arm to trigger a sly smile as he thinks of his next words.
"Bwahahahahahaha! That's a nice armlet you've got there, boy. But it's nothing compared to the Silver Armlet one that works for us. He's already beating your World Destruction trump card already. Who is a sniveling coward that doesn't know how to control his own power," he said.
Hearing his words would cause the boy to freeze in his steps instead of making any orders to attack. This worried Dytto, Honey, and G that stood next to him.
"Silver Armlet? He has returned and works for you? But how?" he said in shock.
"Ali, is there something that we should be worried about?" the agent asked.
Knuckles and the others kept spinning before his final call to let go and toss him at their desired target.
"Everyone, let him go and get ready to bust out of here!" he yells.
Wily would be concerned about flying there to save their ally, but realized that he would still be alright after he is tossed by them. Both Sonic and Shadow dropped down just in time to see their fat nemesis being hurled eat the steel door before them to bust it down.
"So long Dr. Eggman!" the cocky hedgehog called.
The door would finally be knocked out of balance with the Egg Dragoon Mark III's large body crashing into it. Ralph, Centurion, Zobio, and the ChuChus caught it just in time before it fell on top of them now that the door is down.
"We made it guys. Now we can tip this door over and crack that shell like a top chef," the large bad guy ordered.
Eggman would be dizzy from the impact and felts the machine breaking from the door's weight.
"No, you aren't going to take me out when I've got plans for this world!" he yells before frantically punching the glass with his own hands.
Despite being naturally weak without his mechs, he was no slouch either when it came to physical strength for a human being.
"Should I go get him before they crush him?" Wily asked.
Bowser would see that the cracks in the glass were getting bigger form Eggman's beating as the door continues crushing the right arm of the fallen machine.
"I don't think that's necessary. He's already following in my footsteps of fight his way out on his own," he turns back to the frozen Ali and continued, "Anyways, the kid is said to be someone that originally came from the same land as you. His family was killed by the original owner of the Silver Armlet and you shoved him away like he was garbage. It was then when he would build that drive to become Oasis's rightful king by taking over your kingdom by force with our help. Sounds like too much for that airhead of yours to handle?"
Sonic would look at the wide eyed prince who is shocked that the reincarnation of his kingdom's original attacker is back to haunt him. Even Dytto's cries for any orders where failing to reach him while he struggles to hold his weapon.
"Awwww, did I make your legs weak from giving you the truth? I've seen Koopas around your age do the same when that plumber is there to kick the shell out of them. But that won't be a problem now that him and his new friends are getting crushed by our allies easily," Bowser said.
Eggman finally breaks the glass after enough attacks and jumped out before the entire cockpit is completely crushed by the heavy steel door. He would use this time to call his two robotic allies to send him his Egg Pod for backup transportation while everyone is focused on his allies.
"What do you mean everyone is out there losing? They crushed your ships easily with the help of the Moonstone Cannon. There is no way that they would lose to any of your evil friends when they've got the upper hand," Sonic said.
"He's right. We've got you within our grasp as long as your ships can't fight. How much trouble can a group of powerful villains be when we have enough strong people out there to fight?" Vyse yelled.
NiGHTS however decides to fly off with Eliot still in his body since he had no time to wait for everyone else instead of fighting Reala while he's there.
"Hey, where are you going? Are you that concerned for the children that you can't just stay here?" Alex Kidd called.
Bowser and Wily laughed at the entire group of heroes thats stood before them and the frozen Ali that couldn't listen to reason anymore. The prince could feel this strange chill coming down as his heart accelerates as if he's seen the worst thing in history.
"Let me put it to perspective, your pathetic allies are out there losing. L-O-S-I-N-G! What will it take for me to spell it to you, a video to tell you the harsh truth before your blind eyes?" the Koopa replied.
Wily would send out a special Tellie that he've invited for a situation like this.
"Allow me to do the honors while they are too busy being fueled by denial in their weak hearts," the scientist said.
The blue jar shaped robot would eventually shoot out a projected screen to show what is overall happening form the outside. A Chaos Emerald powered Reala holds a defeated Chaos by the neck after a brutal fight with the Chaos Emerald guardian. Just the sight of this would anger Knuckles easily since there would be no way he can believe his defeat.
"Is that Chaos? How did Reala defeat him?" Tails asked.
Sonic would realize that this is no laughing matter once he sees the blue aura surging from this body. This is definitely the result of using an emeralds power to their advantage.
"That is impossible, how did he even think of the idea of strengthening himself to fight Chaos the same way!" Akira yelled.
"The same way we've thought of using the same tactic against you. It uncommon of us to predict your tactics and use some of our best strategies to counteract yours," Wily said.
The next thing that is shown is two angels carrying a defeated Kyrie above a pack of angels that awaits their new meal. The fact that both Balder and Isaac are watching him suffer what will be an agonizing death seals the deal that they easily overpowered him despite his best efforts. The blonde boy's face is devoid of any life due to the beatings he received from both, leading to what the heroes saw with their own eyes. Gear would only get slightly angry by what he seen with his eyes, especially seeing how a strong fighter like Kyrie lost.
"Lies, there is no way that he would lose to a bunch of cowardly villains like you!" he said.
Amy could feel the anger in his voice and looked at him in concern.
"But what about the new spies that came to help? They were defeated by the same people?" Tails wondered.
Wily would only nod with a villainous grin since he is aware of everything that happens with his fellow allies. The screen would reveal a bloody Jack that struggled from having a hopeless fight Neff that didn't long due to the evil wizard's superior strength. Judging by the blood on his purple hands, things were too one-sided to justify a last minute effort with their fight. Not only that, but the bodies of Sora and Agent Seven lied next his feet as well. But this was due to the help from Master Zik, Zazz, and Zomom who defeated them when they tried fighting back. They were on top of the deck of Morte's ship due to the shields being disabled with Reala's help thanks to his new powers.
"It's those Deadly Six clowns we've fought in Seaside Hill. And they've defeated the spies that easily," the shocked Billy said.
But what lies next to them on the deck shocks them easily. The massive "beached" body of Atolm lies onto the front ends of the airship, included the nose, due to his sheer size. This was a sign that Azel alone wasn't enough to fight off the incoming villains.
"Azel lost the fight? Don't tell me that they've reactivated their weapons too?" Varla said.
"Precisely, but they didn't need them anyway to take down such a weak beast. Mishaela easily defeated it and knocked out his secret weapon of a rider with her best magic when she attempted fighting back for her lies. At least she got her wish of killing her before she could strike back like a misbehaving dog," the scientist explained.
Eggman would only sit where he is to wait for his Egg Mobile after a long argument with his two robot sidekicks.
"Shut up! There is no way that Azel is dead after everything she went through to help!" Tails shouts.
This time, the fox seems much angrier than usual after seeing so many people suffer at the hands of thee fiends. Even Sonic would be concerned about his pal's emotions getting this out of control.
"Tails, keep your cool. They are only bluffing. I doubt the others would even lose to these guys easily, even there's more heading their way to kick their butt," he said.
Bowser would only laugh at the hope that the heroes are having over this humiliating defeat they have.
"How cute, they are having too much denial to look at the solid proof they have. Want to show them more like what happened to the captains and fighters?" he said.
Just hearing his words awakened Shadow's instincts since they could be implying the G.U.N.'s defeat.
"Enough talk, show me what you did with my team. Even if they lack the capabilities their vehicles got, they are a special operational group that wouldn't lose to the meager of fools," he said.
The next thing that he was shown would only shock him and his partner Rouge at the same time. More Zeti Bots are sent to destroy the remaining fighters with nearly nothing left to fly. Even the last carrier was torn down easily by a swarm of Cybugs that not even the more trained soldiers could fight off before they got sunk. The Aphelion still remains airborne due to being set on Auto Pilot, but the defeat of Ratchet Clank wasn't prevented. The Lombax is now carried away by the more aggressive Zeti Bots that avoided his best weapons and damaged Clank's body. The little robot's eyes were just as lifeless as his scarred body as he remains on his friend's back. Turbo would be carrying away the defeated bodies of Banjo and Kazooie within his talon-like hands. It was safe to assuming his advantage of glitching as able to take the best of this bear and bird before their defeat.
"Even Ratchet wasn't able to fight them off? How is that even possible?" Vyse said in confusion.
"Like I said, that denial would only make you more into a Boo that's trapped in the corner. You just can't be too confident in your poor strategies? Speaking of strategies, we were able to confiscate both ships easily to bring out the masterminds behind this attack. Not even the defenders on the other ship were that great. And let me say that certain someone won't be able to promote his Sega Saturn consoles anymore after what my best man did," Bowser said after laughing.
The next thing that appears would upset and shock all of the heroes in the room. Even Ralph and the others were stopped in there tracks before they could beg their allies to stop listening. The shaggy haired Judo practitioner now lies on the next of Misheala's ship in a pool of his own blood, lifeless and without the strength he had after he defeated Marcus. Their attack on him from every direction definitely guaranteed that his escape would never be successful. But what really made several people cry was his heavily bruised face along a few stab wounds on his back from a certain warlord.
"What just happened with him? There is no way possible that Segata Sanshiro would be dead!" Ristar cried with tears in his eyes.
"Yes, it's real Little Star. Not even you can wonder what he is after what happened," Bowser said.
"You guys are absolute monsters, you know that. How can you crush that man's legacy by ending his game is beyond me. Even though I'm a bad guy, this type of thing is plain disgusting. I never expected you to even side with that cherry picking king, Bowser!" Ralph yelled.
This outburst would interest the two villains into looking at Ralph in the far back with his large hands curled and eyes set on him.
"Ah, so the Fix It Felix villain, or shall I say fake villain, is here after all. King Candy told me all about how you thwarted his plans of ruling the Sugar Rush and erasing that glitch for good. But at least those machines, especially yours, now belong to us now that you don't have to worry about it anymore. And to believe that the arcade me sides with you? Disgusting, I wouldn't even side with a cuddly weak "bad guy" in a million years. A real villain would be serving us on this conquest like King Candy, but you are a stain to everything that a villain stands for. Just don't even dare think you can even side with us after that opportunity was lost when you helped that Sonic lookalike steal the cyan emerald," the arrogant king said.
Both a slightly harmed Fortitudo and a full healed Red Dragon would be continually attacking the unprotected ship in an attempt to blow it down. But it wasn't the only one under attack, the Delphinus would be bombarded with hordes of angels. Tembo and Ash were desperately blasting down every attacker that drew near the ship along with the larger Beloveds that punched the ship or tried lunging at them. Sega-Chan tries to retreat towards the ship before a stray blast knocked her out easily. Turns out that Psy-Crow appeared just in time to cause trouble onto the ship. Omochao would fend of a group of Rhythm Rouges that invades the ship from the deck with his Chao Missiles.
"Stay back, this is our ship you ravenous robots. None of you deserve to horde our ship on my watch," he said.
It was only until a familiar crazy haired prodigy appeared right behind him with a special switch in his hand. Amy knew that the robotic Chao was in danger from the screen and screams for his attention despite her location.
"Omochao, behind you!" she cried.
But it was too late, purple electricity would be surging through his blue body to cause him to scream. All Purge would do is laugh while this is happening as he continues holding the button. This would lead her to get just as angry as the upset Tails with her weapon ready to hit them. The next thing that would be shown is a wounded OpaOpa and AGES laying next to the crashed Sky Pop plane after they were overpowered by both the advanced robots and the Legions best forces overpowering them. They were foolish enough to attempt fighting Reala with his new strength which led to there defeat. Lastly, Mario and Harrier were tired and breathing from a hopeless fight with Raidou, Guan Yu, the Baron, and Dark Demon. The two were without a doubt having a hard time facing the four of them at once while outside forces distracted them due to the armies being sent. Meanwhile, bloated Hypernova Kirby still stands on his Warpstar with someone who the hedgehogs though they defeated. The one and only Metal Sonic.
"What, how is he out there and we destroyed him here?" Knuckles said.
The Eggman would slowly walk they way with his businesslike strut since his new ride is coming soon.
"To answer you question, I've sent a weaker doppelgänger of Metal Sonic on purpose just to distract you all while the fully upgraded one that got defeated by one of your teammates in Wood Oak City was already sent since the first time. You honestly thought that I would waste my greatest creation to fight you all this early? This is why I'm always two steps ahead of you fools even when you've though victory was near. It was even a miracle since normally he would rather jump in and fight you instead of taking orders from me at all," the scientist said with a grin.
Beat could only hang his head down from the things he had seen while Gum comforting him. BD Joe would lose that smile he is known for and cross his arms in disappointment for wasting his time with Eggman. G would only get angry and aim his gun at the robot since he saw enough of their tricks. But what would really upset them is the sight of Selvaria, Morte, Hardy, Janet, Britney, and Derrick being dragged out by the toy soldiers that worked for the Dark Demon. The captains were given special cuffs to keep them restrained from doing any serious damage to them. Even Aika and Fina would be dragged out with similar cuffs by the two Applaud angels that invaded the ship while they weren't looking. Vyse would be on the verge of attacking them for even dare doing this to his closest allies while he's board the ship.
"So what was it about you guys beating us? Go on, give me your best reply since we are only enjoying your suffering. This is a friendly reminder that no one should ever think bout messing with the Legion at all. Funny how opinions would change once you all saw the truth with your own eyes," Wily said in a gravely voice of excitement.
The Egg Pod finally arrived just in time with Orbot and Cubot manning the controls, which prompted Eggman to run where they are. Then a strong arm would grab Eggman from his leg suddenly.
"Where do you think your going, you ruffian!" a familiar voice said.
Eggman would turn to see a pissed off Zobio holding him hostage from getting way from him. Eggman would only snarl from his sudden snatch and try kicking him to hold him back from his attack.
"What do you think you are doing, you disposable corpse. Let go of me this instant!" he replied.
Both robots would be shocked at what is happening with him with Bowser preparing to charge at the zombie.
"Oh dear, he's under attack. Doctor, we are about to save ya in just an instant!" Cubot called before looking through the weapon system.
Orbot however would hesitate slightly since he likes the idea of seeing him complain about being held. Bowser had his eyes set on the "small" corpse due to his massive size with his claws ready to tear him apart.
"Incoming!" Sonic said before he jumped for a Homing Attack on Bowser's head.
But his attack wasn't working due to his tank like defenses, which prompted him to keep attacking.
"Guys, I need a little help here!" he called.
This would snap out Tails and Amy into helping him fight off the large Koopa, along with Shadow who is largely upset about his fallen men. Tails blasts him with several Electron Shots before Amy would strike him with a Super Piko Piko Hammer to the gut. This would slightly harm the determined king into swiping his claws at both of them. Eggman would still be trying to kick the angry zombie into letting him go since he had better things to do. Shadow attacks the angered Bowser from every direction with a series of warping strikes thanks to his Chaos abilities. This would only motivate Billy Hatcher and Alex Kidd into helping fight off the Koopa King while he's there as payback for the entire operation's counterattack.
"It's not over guys, we can still beat these guys while we're here!" he shouts.
Billy would deal severe Egg Bounces onto Bowser's head while Alex Kidd rapidly punches at his underbelly with his might.
"You know, he's right. We can still crack this turtle's shell while we are here! Gum, we are going to help them while we are here so their defeat isn't in vain," the red haired rudie said before taking out his spraypaint.
Gum would be glad that her love is finally back to his good old self and takes out her best can.
"Let's do this Beat. Droppin' the mic is at least DJ Professor K's last wish for us," she said.
Gear would start calling Ali's name to help snap him out of his shock so he can contribute to everyone's efforts.
"Ali, this isn't the time to be succumbing to that trauma. We need your help giving these villains the defeat they deserve," the blue haired boy called.
He still wouldn't listen, even with Dytto would be using her energy to slap his face while it was almost time for her to disappear.
"Please master, you can't just be standing there. Silver Armlet would need to be defeated again if you want this problem to be solved," the water fairy cried.
The Chaotix charged at the airborne skull carrier that Wily rides to attack it.
"This is my order for you guys, let's knock Einstein out of his craft if he thinks making fool of us is hobby," the crocodile snarled.
Rouge turned to see that both of the robot siblings were gone after seeing the video. The curious bat wondered what would make them want to leave so suddenly. Then she would hear Wily yell to see what was happening with him. Ristar, G, Varla, and Chuck were helping the Chaotix bring down Wily's hovercraft by attacking it while he tries to defend himself from these attackers. Mega Man was covering them with his Leaf Shield to prevent any serious damage from them.
"Just keep attacking the ship. Wily will be regretting what he did after we do this," the blue robot said.
Rush would appear in a flash once he realize that his blue friend needed assistance. The two would quickly meet up into an emotional embrace before they begin their next formation. Wily would be upset after enough damage is done to the skull face that he gave his hovercraft thanks to the heroes ganging up on him.
"Ugh, you guys gave me no choice but to bring out the remaining Robot Masters to defeat you all. It's too late for you to really change what happened to your worthless allies," he yelled.
Then Varla would knock his Wily Capsule into the air with a powerful uppercut to give Ristar the opportunity for his next attack.
"Now, crack it open with a powerful headbutt!" she yelled.
The shooting star promptly grabs it with his elongated black arms before dealing the blow he needs to shatter its defenses. Both Orbot and Cubot would be flying the Egg Pod away as Gilius and Tyris try to bring it down with their spells with Blaze trying to reach them with a Lightning Kick.
"Whoah, these guys are really serious about getting us? What did we ever do?" yellow robot said.
"Ever thought about the phrase "another one bites the dust"? Because that would happen if we don't pick a weapon and fight back," the red robot said.
Then Eggman would be hurled at the white hovercraft to knock them all down after Zobio tossed him from a distance. They all fell into a pile of themselves with the heavy hovercraft slammed on top of them.
"You fools, did you not know where the weapons were the whole time?" scientist snapped.
"But sir, we rarely use the Egg Pod that much to know where it is. I'm being completely honest," Orbot begged.
Then Ralph would help lift the machine before he tossed it away like it was trash.
"You blathering baboon, that was my only means of transportation. You have any idea how hard I've worked on…"
Centurion would grab him by his legs to lift him into the air like a hanging fish. The werewolf would growl in his face with like savage beast to express his anger, with the scientist feeling slightly scared from the sharp jaws that breathed on him.
"Nice doggy, can you please be a good boy and put me down?" the nervous doctor asked.
Both Orbot and Cubot would be kicked away by an angered Kiryu that wanted to defeat them before they had ideas of getting way.
"Whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaa!" they both yelled as they flew away.
Bowser would be spinning within his armored shell before chasing his attackers away in blind rage. Sonic and Shadow would execute their famed tornado technique to help stop him in his tracks and lift him into the air.
"Now, hit his underbelly while you can!" he yelled.
This would lead Amy, Billy, and Alex Kidd to hit into the Koopa's overturned body. This would eject Bowser's limbs and his head where he gags for air.
"You guys are so annoying. How about I decide to roast you all alive while I'm still here!" he snarled.
He quickly spins again to subdue Sonic and Shadow's tornado whilst knocking them away for him to get room. Sonic and Shadow quickly lands within the opposite sides of the room to continue their fight with the Koopa King. He breathes his fire breath at the annoying heroes that stood before him and continues spreading these flames to other parts of the room. Cream and Tails was able to snatch Alex Kidd and Billy just in time before they got burned. AiAi took the risk of rolling his monkey ball through the flames to hit Bowser's unprotected face. He paid no mind his burning feet as the ball's temperature rose from the contact with his flames.
"Eeeek eeeek haaaauuuggh heeeeeaaaaaaaah!" he screeched at the top of his lungs.
He bounced just in time to smack the fire breathing Koopa's face and stop him from breathing fire.
"Why you little! That was my cheek you're hitting!" he growled.
Then Amigo smacks him further with a pair of maracas that outsizes his own body to beat it like a drum.
"These stinking monkeys are killing my patience with them!" he said before swiping his claws at him.
The samba monkey dodged just in time before a familiar Flame Spirit appears to punch him in the face. This is leading to where a certain prince would appear and toss his best bomb inside of the dazed Bowser's mouth to blow him from the inside out.
"So what you were saying about us being weak and losing? Sounds like someone is the sore loser themselves," Ali said with a grin.
The bomb finally explodes to make Bowser's face red when he jumps with black smoke pouring form his nostrils. This would surprise the fallen Wily that's begging his attackers for mercy and the hanging Eggman that Centurion held.
This isn't over. I will definitely make sure you all get stomped like Goombas the next time we meet on the battlefield.
Then he breathes out the rest of the resulting smoke form his mouth with his eyes devoid of any life before he slowly collapses onto the ground. Ryo would be glad to see that their friend is no longer the frozen deer that stood next to them thanks to Gear's efforts to talk some sense into him.
"Ali, that was a cool move of you to do. It's good to have you back pal," Sonic said after running to the site of Bowser's sudden defeat.
The prince would only look back at his blue ally and nod since it is good for him to be focusing on the bigger picture than being shocked about the sudden return of Silver Armlet. BD Joe and the others would cheer at his plan of defeating Bowser ending the fight for them.
"Everyone, we have no time to sit here any longer, we need to get out of here and help them," Shadow called.
"Shadow is right, us sticking out longer mean us losing our only tickets of leaving this place and heading back to HQ. Just leave these three alone and get out of here," Rouge said.
Mega Man would only stare at the frightened Wily for all the times he had been begging to be spared only to go back into doing harm to the world. The sweat rolled down the bad man's forehead while his boney arms shook in rapid confessions. His friends would walk away from him with their eyes on the broken door before them with Varla flying away.
"Come on Mega Man, we can't be wasting our time here even longer. Selvaria needs our support to get those Subspace nuts off of her," G said after reloading his gun.
The Blue Bomber would continue staring at his long time nemesis with a less than friendly face, trying to hesitate from wanting to put him into justice. Instead, he simply turned away from the scared old man and slowly walks toward the exit that is begging to be left. Rush would also scrambled beside his blue friend in case he needed him for that extra speed to leave this place.
"Good boy Rush, we'll deal with him later. We've got bigger problems to handle," he said silently.
Eggman would notice that all of the heroes were now making their leave while his werewolf captor continues to hold him hostage.
"So you see, your friends are now letting us go. So shouldn't you be going somewhere like a forest or something instead of hanging out with me?" he said.
The annoyed shapeshifting warrior would toss him at Wily from across the room before running way.
"Come on Cipher, we have some business to take care of," Billy called to his loyal Fire Egg Animal.
"Amy! Mr. Big! Wait up and don't leave us behind," Cream says while flying after her old team.
Cheese would keep up with her as well before getting left behind this scary place. The last ones to be left in the room would be the Bonanza Bros themselves who searched the pockets of their defeated enemy for any valuables to steal.
"Get off of me you two. I have nothing of importance other than useless buttons that would be used for blowing this place up," he said.
This would alarm the two goons into running way since they would not want to risk killing their own allies.
"Fine, then you can have your crazy buttons. We're out of here before you plan on blowing this place up!" Mobo yells.
Eggman would be laughing at them leaving since it was only a lie he said before they thought about stealing from them. Not only that, but he noticed that they were silly enough to drop the only emerald that they were responsible of protecting.
"Good thinking, Eggman. So it appears that all wasn't lost after all if you were able do scare them into giving us a free emerald," Wily said with a sinister grin.
"That's right, they have a long way to go if they want to beat us with such careless fools into their group. Now we have two to their five at this rate. It will be a matter of time until we get all seven when we meet again," he said with a grin before breaking into laughter.
On the other side of things, all captains and the ship defenders are held hostage by their Subspace captors with the sub-commanders there to taunt them. Ramirez would be staring down the defeated Selvaria to see how she was so confident in her victory that she lost to him. The Azure Witch tries to used her Valkyrian aura to help help break out of her cuffs.
"Enough, you will not be able to break out of these cuffs since they were made for people like you. Inonis was able to help create these for times when we need to hold you or your strongest fighters prisoner."
Tembo would be held down by a few Beloveds before he thought about breaking from their grasp with Prince Ash's head being played around by a group of strong angels.
"You #* &ers better be lucky that I don't have my blade or body to kick all of your asses," the angry dead rabbit shouts.
Both the defeated Mario and Harrier would be cuffed by two high class angels after they suffered a humiliating defeat from their numerous opponents.
"Looks like your days of playing the hero is over, plumber. Should have stayed your mushroom eating ass back in Macro Land instead of thinkin' you can kick our butts or even Bowser," the Deathwatch pimp taunts.
Mathilda continues to thrash Jack's unconscious body to relieve stress while she's helping her crew take over and destroy both ships.
"You aren't going to get away with this all, Ramirez. Our back up should be on their way here to make sure none of you sink our ships or pride. You are a blind man if you think you'll accomplish anything being their personal puppet," Selvaria barked.
The only way he would respond is by pointing his blade straight at her throat with his eyes hungering for bloodshed. She shown little fear with the idea of meeting her end here since they can easily help save this world without her help.
"This is rather ironic coming from the puppet who used to work for us. If you think you are making a point in insulting us while you are within our claws, then you are nothing more than a powerless fool who has to play by our rules. Now you and your friends can come with us while we destroy both ships where they stand," Mishaela remarked.
"As if I would have you put your hands on me, you smelly pachyderm!" a female voice yelled.
Britney had the nerve to spit on Neff's face for his attempt of taking him to the cruiser to hold her prisoner. She was too angry too even care about the possibility of this large purple beast hurting her for not complying. Now her boyfriend would be scared for his life since this towering creature would most likely kill her if he were to thing about striking her down.
"What the hell are you doing? You do realize that these guys would kill us if we don't do what they say!" Derrick shouts.
"Who gives a shit? These big scary guys are nothing but a bunch of cowards that cheat in order to get their way in the first place. I would rather die than be their personal slave. If Witch Girl were here, she would definitely defeat all of them easily," she barked.
Neff would already be snorting from the anger that builds within him for dealing with this obnoxious human that dared insult him. Balder heard that from afar and only laughed since he knows that there is no way that Bayonetta would be able to do if she arrived here.
"Got to love the human race, full of hopeless delusions and dreams about heroes going to save them when their planet is close to ours. It's actually kind of adorable how that girl thought she's so strong despite having no means of hurting us. Neff, kill her and her knight in shining armor since they aren't worthy of living," the dark sorceress said.
With that, the massive rhinoceros creature would raise his right fist into the air before the girl that shows no fear in her death. Selvaria would only glance at her for her stubborn bravery while Ramirez remains holding his blade near her vitals. Derrick would hold on to her girlfriend from behind since the last thing he wants to do is protect her before they both die. Aika and Fina winced from possibly seeing these two innocent college students die before their eyes as the angels held them.
"Fire!" a female voice called.
Then a blast of fire magic would scorch the rhino demon's back to prevent him from attack. Mishaela, Baron, Guan Yu, Zik, Ramirez, Reala, and Rokkaku would look to the east of them.
"What the hell just happened?" the distracted Nightmaren said.
Then a familiar purple foe would knock Reala out in full force, leading to the wounded Chaos being free. The angry red Nightmaren would look up from this sudden attack and be surprised that NiGHTS is finally here to see him again.
"Did you miss me? Save the small talk for later after me and NiGHTS finish you off together," Eliot said while still dualized with him.
This would only lead the angry Reala to yell with his blue Chaos Emerald energy building up.
"How are they out of the ship that fast?" Isaac said beside Balder.
"Who cares in all honesty. Let's just dispose of your annoyance once and for all since my children are starving for the blood of a impure human," he said before snapping his fingers.
Kyrie would finally be dropped by the large angel for the serpentine creatures to swarm to the spot where he falls. Then a flash of red would snatch him just in time to their surprise. Then multiple buster shots would be fired to destroy all angels around them.
"What is the meaning of this?" Isaac says as he kept floating.
Then a familiar black witch would deal a surprise After Burner Kick to Balder's face, breaking his golden opera mask and knocking him back from the scene.
"You are back to get kicked by our own daughter again? Very classy meeting you here, Balder," Bayonetta said before licking her lips.
Right where I've expected. I've longed to see that face of yours again Cereza…. and crush it for real.
Proto Man and Roll reloaded their weaponry before the focus on shooting the armies of angels that flew around the area.
"Come on, let's clear this area for our new friends to have that clean getaway," the red clad robot said.
Gamma and Omega would already make a killing of the Zeti Bots that destroyed the entire G.U.N. fleet for Shadow's sake while Kasumi would go toe to toe with the mutated King Candy.
"Mugen Tenshin Style: Torn Sky Blast!" she shouts.
The blue ninpo would scar the side of his body where he would scream in pain and drop the bear and bird. Both Ulala and Pudding flew just in time to save them with Electra lashing any angel that dared follow them.
"Are you two alright. It was a miracle we appeared to save you two," the reporter said with a smile.
"Guuuuuh, what happened out there. Where are the G.U.N. operatives we should protect?" Banjo said after regaining consciousness.
"They all got must have been defeated after you got knocked out. All I know is that a certain black hedgehog will not be happy about this," Pudding replied.
"All I know is that we will make sure they all get blown to smithereens by our Grenade Eggs. When I get my energy back Banjo, you and I will be kicking some serious arse after what they did," the irritated Kazooie squawked.
Shogun saved Ratchet and Clank just in time with Baby there to help repair his pal.
"Fear not allies as I am here to make sure these fools get their armies crushed by the almighty Shogun. Just make yourself comfortable while my white simian friend grants the best hospitality to your backpack," the Japanese warrior said while driving his machine.
Ratchet would look around to see the mech piloting baby monkey with his tools ready to help.
"Well, I suppose some quick repairs wouldn't hurt just as long as you be gentle with Clank. I just can't wait to head back to my ship when this is over," the Lombax said in relief.
"Those robotic ruffians will definitely not get away with what they did to my delicate body. Just make sure you be careful with my vitals while fixing everything, young one," the robot said before getting his repairs.
Headdy and Heather would be attacking Metal Sonic from behind with machine-gun fire thanks to their Plane Heads, which gave Kirby the time to fly away with his own plans for their defenseless ships.
"Just stop harassing the puff and go after us. We've been waiting to see how big and bad you are with that ugly face of yours," the male puppet teased.
This would lead the real Metal Sonic into angrily beeping before it begins charging at the two. The Beloveds that attacked the ship would finally fall from their attacks thanks to Ax Battler's strongest volcano spells that he used. While Alis blasts down the red dragon that attacked the ship thanks to her high tech tank with her old visitors, minus Kiryu, in the same room.
"Bingo, that's one more of these guys to go!" she said.
Then a massive airship would suddenly appear from in-between the two ships and the villains that appears to have been crafted out of fabric and other things. Turned out that the fallen G.U.N. soldiers were saved by Sackboy himself after he first abandoned ship just to create this vessel from scratch during the fight. He greets them all with a happy smile while jumping to celebrate the quick creation he crafted.
"So that's where that little rascal's been this time. I'm glad that he managed to do Rouge and them a huge favor instead of having them fall," Fina said.
The villains would be expressing a mixture of panic and anger at the tides being slowly turned on them. Joe Musashi would appear before Guan Yu and snaps his neck in a flash to their surprise.
"Very clever, they seem to have planned this before we've attacked," Zik said.
"Now is not the time to congratulate them, old man,. We've got to stop them before…"
Purge would be struck in the back of his head by Sarah and Pai, leading him to drop to the ground from a severe concussion.
Doctor, GonGon, and Meemee all attack the gigantic two headed dragon angel at once with their bouncy Monkey Balls to distract him. It was until Orta would appear just in time to be shooting the pale face on its body to hurt him.
"Take that, you malformed dragon! This is what happens when you mess with my mother!" she yells.
The Fortitudo heads would eventually try shooting her dragon down with powerful fireballs for her to dodge. Then Schezo and Lord Max appeared at the same time to deal powerful strikes from their magic blades to the face, causing its pale shell to break into an explosion of blood to reveal it's disgusting muscley face. Jeanne would toss Kyrie towards Ramirez to deal with him while she finishes off that angel.
"Now, bring on those dinosaurs of yours!" she said.
A fully transformed Terry with Ace would loom above the massive angel that is near their ship and roar at them.
"Terry use Fire Scorcher!" Max shouts.
"Ace, crush that ugly being with Sonic Blast!" Rex commands.
The two dinosaurs would ravage the damaged angelic dragon with their powerful techniques, with sonic blades of wind and volcanic flames scarring it.
This would would would give Jeanne the time to dance and prepare the perfect demon for killing this angel.
"Adrpan!" she chants.
Masses of white hair would flow from her body into a portal which would cause another to appear right below the damaged angel. Then a massive bird of prey made of white hair, like the one Bayonetta summoned earlier, snatched him from the face before tearing him apart in a bloody mess. Max and Rex would be disturbed by this, but their transformed dinosaur allies begged to differ.
"And that is a wrap. You all been a lovely audience for this magic trick to make the angel disappear," Jeanne says while holding her summon pose.
Neff would be in the middle of looking around for where his prisoners went in the middle of this chaos. Then he would see Marie and Stella walking the couple away while the Virtua Cops were being unlocked by the Burning Rangers under his nose. The angry demon would begin charging at them to make sure they didn't escape him easily. Before he could think about attacking the couple before they walked away, both Dedede and Satan appear to knock him out completely with their best attacks. The towering purple beast is now fallen over from the hit, leaving both Ramirez and Mishaela angry at the results.
"Are we too late for your celebration party for defeating us? Or is it that party was never prepared before we crashed it," the green haired dark prince said.
The next chapter will happen next Friday as expected. So no recap tonight, but absorb what you read for that full experience of this frenzied air conflict. The next chapter will be just as mind blowing with a fight to the finish before Sonic can finally leave safely. Good night and enjoy the rest of your weekend folks. ;)
