Author's Notes: Do I have to repeatedly list what I own and what I don't or has it been drilled in enough? If it hasn't, look in previous chapters for ownership of characters' original designs. I only own this story and OC Klaxon (Siren) and design changes for my fan-made universe(s) used for this story, nothing else. Everything else belongs to its respective owner.

Chapter 29

Lightning flashes across the sky as thunder rumbles overhead and rains comes falling down. TD and Mecha-Sally slowly circle each other. The fox doll turned Mobian readying his two daggers as Mecha-Sally has another Energy Blade spark to life on her other hand along with two wrist-mounted weapons readying as well. TD watched everything quickly, his eyes looking around the area quickly while also keeping an eye on the friend turned enemy. If this fight didn't work in his favor, he was going to have an escape route open but given the fact that the village was now swarming with SWATbots, that seemed unlikely. He didn't show any fear despite not liking how this was looking for him.

In a flash, he blocks the energy blades swung at him as Mecha-Sally covered the distance quickly. Too quickly for a normal roboticization. He quickly looked his opponent over and saw several modifications and the ones that made him actually terrified, was the fact that the wrist weapons were Napalm based flamethrowers. Another one that didn't help his situation were the foot modifications, they copied Shade's shoes yet kept the original design intact.

'Robotnik's learning from us.' thought TD before he kicked Mecha-Sally away after analyzing it all in under two seconds. He blinked as a rain drop hit one of his eyes and then barely avoided the energy blade swung at him. He felt the heat from the blade as it passed by his chest before he moved to avoid the second blade but wasn't fast enough as he felt it cut into one of his arms. He jumped back, grabbing the arm in pain while also dropping that dagger. He looked at the wound and saw blood coming out of the wound and his eyes widened in shock.

'Blood? My blood? Shit. I'm vulnerable as a Mobian.' thought TD before he heard rain hitting metal and he looked only to see a metal boot before it collided with his face and sent him flying through one of the now deserted huts of the village. He landed hard and groaned as he got up. His skull aching and ringing from the hit. He got to his knees before he heard something cutting through the air behind him and he turned, using his only good hand to stop it.

Pain flooded his nerves as blood hit his face and he winced in pain as his hand now had a energy blade sticking out of it while also holding it back from his face. Mecha-Sally glared at him emotionlessly before she slammed her other blade into his shoulder, making him cry out in pain while also trying to force the other blade closer yet he fought back despite the pain.

'I can't win like this.' thought TD as he looked for a way to get out of this before he decided to go with a bad idea. He pulled his impaled hand down on the energy blade it was stopping, splitting it in half before he grabbed the blade and then kicked it with enough force to sever the blade from Mecha-Sally's arm and then slammed it into Mecha-Sally's other arm at the elbow servo and then kicked Mecha-Sally away while also launching himself out of the hut through the wall. He landed out in the rain but found himself surrounded by SWATbots with Napalm flamethrowers pointed at him.

"ROAST HIM!" yelled Robotnik from his hover vehicle with a sadistic grin on his face.

Everything seems to slow down as the flames shoot slowly towards TD before he gets shielded from the flames by a blue-scaled wing and a metallic blue wing with orange lightning arcing off it. The flames engulf TD and the one who saved him for several seconds before Robotnik calls the FLAMESWATs off before the flames die down slightly and the figure stands up as metallic armor covers half his body and he looks at the bots with one cybernetic orange eye and one red-blue organic eye. The flames not bothering him.

"Alright Buttnik, I'm slagging pissed now. Napalm? You sick twisted asshole. I was fine not providing any assistance this time but when you use napalm...oh, I'm mad." said the figure which turned out to be Klaxon in a form that looked like a mix of his dragon form, his cyborg form and his Terran form as he extended a red energy wrist-blade from his left arm. TD slowly got up again, both of his arms relatively useless now.

"TD, go. I can handle the bots." said Klaxon, giving a sideways glance to TD with his organic eye.

The Mobian fox doll nodded and ran for it. A FLAMESWAT turns towards him, flamethrower at the ready before a red wrist blade erupt through its chest, taking it offline.

"I should have known someone would have stayed behind to provide an escape distraction for the distraction which is why I opened one of the failed project vaults. OMEGA! KILL HIM!" yelled Robotnik as the bottom of his vehicle opened up and a large two legged robot dropped out of it and landed on the ground. The robot has a Greek symbol on one of its armored shoulders and a "E-123" on the other shoulder. Its red optics open and it has its clawed hands retract and be replaced by machine guns that resemble mini-guns. It then open fires on Klaxon who creates an energy shield in front of himself to deflect the bullets.

"Great. Now we've got a reprogrammed Omega to deal with. Wait...oh no, something's messing with the time stream as well as the dimensional barriers..." muttered Klaxon to himself as he defended himself from the bullet onslaught which allowed Mecha-Sally to bypass him as the roboticized Freedom Fighter Leader went after the fleeing TD.

"Death to all enemies of Robotnik." said Omega as it continued to fire at Klaxon despite none of the rounds piercing the shield. FLAMESWATs began flanking him but he ignored them as fire doesn't effect him, not even napalm enhanced fire, his main concern was Omega. Despite his species' near immortality, mini-gun or similar fire rates can do a lot of internal damage and he's not looking for shredded internal organs for several hours. Not everyone with healing rates is high like the D-man's (wait, did someone change the script? Deadpool's supposed to be there not "the D-man". Oh wait, right, saying his name summons him like Beetlejuice's does). Omega keeps firing before a grenade rolls under his feet and a massive electrical explosion engulfs him and as he continues to try to fight, he shuts down and falls down in a heap. He then grabs Omega and disappears in a flash of light.

"I don't think that was wise sir. Omega always had poor accuracy." said Snively before Robotnik grabbed his nephew by the throat with his robotic arm.

"One more word Snively and it's your throat I break." said Robotnik dangerously calm and the short man gulped nervously as sweat poured down his head.

Meanwhile, with TD...

TD ran down the now abandoned pathways of the village as he tried to find a way out, realizing that maybe being the distraction wasn't the best idea when you don't know what you can or can't do yet after your anatomy changed completely. He couldn't teleport anymore, he couldn't hover and he couldn't fly despite being like Tails, he never learned how to fly as he always hovered or teleported. The only thing he knew he could do still was summon bladed weapons like knives or daggers or swords. He heard metal getting hit by rain again before he got another metal boot to the face, sending him flying into the old workshop, his head ringing again as he slowly got up, his vision unfocused.

Mecha-Sally rocketed towards him, remaining energy blade posed for a decapitation swing before black strings stopped her in her tracks. Whistling is heard approaching as a tall lanky figure with red-orange fur walks into view, one of his claws larger than the others as he scrapes it against the nearby wall, causing sparks to follow it. The scratch line from the claw also begins to glow and TD notices that the scratch line covers the whole interior of the workshop and he looks at the figure quizzically as he walks towards Mecha-Sally nonchalantly and grabs her by the chin, tapping the claw against the robot's head.

"What are you doing?" asked TD as he tried to get up but failed as the blood loss and pain were finally getting to him and his vision was fading more.

"Simple. Giving you an escape and don't worry, your roboticized friend won't be harmed. Enjoy the ride." said the figure after he let go of Mecha-Sally's head and then walked towards TD and tapped him on the gem hanging from the gem rod before disappearing after red cracks in the world formed before the cracks disappeared. The scratch lines suddenly began to glow red before the workshop was engulfed in a fiery explosion with Mecha-Sally being launched through several huts, the damage enough to take her temporarily offline. The old workshop was also reduced to rubble from the explosion.

As the SWATbots combed through the village for those possibly left behind, Robotnik was thinking deeply as he sat in the chair inside the hover vehicle, his black and red eyes angry (what's new?).

"No bodies sir." said Snively.

"Snively, you recorded that new monster's energy readings correct?" said Robotnik calmly.

"Yes sir despite the encounter terrifying me."

"I believe he helped that doll escape."

"I'm afraid it would appear so."

"I believe we have a plan to counter such things."

"You don't mean..."

"Yes Snively, I mean Operation Impossible."

Snively gulped nervously.

1 hour downriver from ruins of Knothole...

A small fox-like doll floats along the river, its gem a dull red before it is lifted out of the water by the Marionette. The Marionette then turns and walks down into a small music box and once fully inside closes the lid. The music box then disappears after red cracks form in the world around it. The music box then appears in the makeshift camp made by the Freedom Fighters in a mountain a good distance from any other Freedom Fighter cells or Robotnik Outposts. Eggman opens up the box and the Marionette's claw hands him the doll before closing the lid again and disappears.

"So, back to being a doll huh TD?" said Eggman and the doll groaned in pain, "Alright, take a break. We've got more than enough trouble."

Eggman walks into his ship and sets TD down on a counter as he goes back to work on the Power Core from V1.
