Adventures of the Orange Flash
Chapter 31: Viva Las Kitsune
"What was the deal with those guys, I get the hunch that they aren't bad like Eggman or Brevon and yet they attacked us without giving any reason why," said Lilac with a look of annoyance as she walked next to Naruto.
"Actually, Kurama and I had why we were attacked. One of them happens to be a ninja of a clan and wanted to see if I was legit," said Naruto.
Nicole looked thoughtful for a few moments then realized what he meant "Since he's a chameleon, could it be that he's a…" she stopped when she saw Naruto placed a finger on his lips to signal for her not to say anymore but nodded to affirm her thoughts.
"That he is, and since they haven't seen us in years, he wanted to make sure that I'm not an impostor,"
"So it was something like a test then? Guess I can't be too mad in that case. Anyways, where are we now?" asked Lilac while looking around.
The team had long since left Grand Metropolis after locating Eggman's signal after their fight with the aforementioned group, now they're checking out their surroundings to better understand their current location. It is nighttime in the city and they were walking along a velvet carpeted pathway in an area designed to resemble that of a casino as indicated by the large pinball tables, roulette tables and neon-lit paths.
"According to the map, we're currently in Casino Park which like the name says is city being made to look like a giant casino with the buildings and roads designed to resemble pinball tables and roulette wheels among other gimmicks, and there are many cities like this one too," said Nicole.
"A casino eh? Suddenly I feel like trying out my luck, what about you girls?" Naruto grinned in anticipation.
"Naruto, we shouldn't forget why we're in the first place and that is to look for Eggman," said Lilac.
"I know, but who says we can't have fun and kick butt at the same time especially in this place?"
"You have a point there," Lilac found herself agreeing with the fox.
"Okay Naruto, let's get a move on," said Nicole.
"Yoooshaaaa! Time to dash and cash!" Naruto took off excitedly with Lilac and Nicole following after him while giggling at his childish enthusiasm.
Music Start: Sonic Heroes OST; Stage 05 Casino Park
The team bounced off a couple of springs to reach up to the platform above as they moved along the velvet carpeted pathway to the end where they all jumped into a cannon which adjusted its trajectory before launching them towards a large pinball table. Upon landing, the team went into their spinball forms and were rolling about while being bounced around by the green bumper walls on the table, it took some time to attuning to before they were able to make use of the flippers along with the bumper walls to ascend to the top of the pinball table and get over it to land on the next pathway where there a couple of Egg Pawns but these ones are neon pink with bunny ears, Lilac took them out quickly while the team was in speed formation before climbing up the staircase to run into a Cameron so they quickly switched to power formation for Naruto to use Tailed Flail to destroy it
Ahead of them are floating green balls with a light green, five-pointed star symbol on the front and back faces, and there was the next platform at the other side. Naruto had an idea and leapt at one of the balls while still holding Nicole and Lilac in his tails and began to bounce from one ball to another until arriving at the platform, there was a ball switch which they activated to make a long trial of rings appears before them so Lilac retook the lead in speed formation to use the Light Dash to travel along the rings to reach up to the next area with the others following close behind as they landed before a locked door guarded by a Cameron which took aim at them and launched a hoop-like projectile from its cannon. The trio evaded the incoming projectile then Lilac launched a Dragon Typhoon to flip the robot over and took it out a with a Dragon Swoop attack, they located a switch in the wall which Naruto pulled out to unlock the door for them to pass through and found themselves standing on a glassed balcony where they could see a pinball table below them.
"We're gonna have to smash our way through, hang on," Naruto reared a fist back before driving it onto the glassed floor to smash it for them to fall through and land on the large table in their spinball forms. The team maneuvered their way down the sloped pinball table to then passing along narrow slides to drop into dual linked pinball tables where they scattered and were being bumped around, Naruto used one of the flippers to launch himself upwards and into a three slot-wheel machine as it started spinning the reels, he timed his stops till the reels in the order of [Sonic, Sonic, Sonic] and was given 20 rings before being ejected out of it, Lilac used the bumper walls to bounce around then entered a single slot-wheel machine with the reel then she stopped it to reveal a Ring symbol to give her 10 rings before being ejected too. Nicole ended up falling into another three slot-wheel machine then she stopped the reels [Knuckles, Knuckles, Knuckles] and was rewarded 30 rings then ejecting afterwards.
The trio were able to find their way out of the pinball table through an opening at the top and landing on a green pathway, they went on ahead to the end and proceeded to bounce off the diagonal springs on the wall to ascend to the upper platform where they encountered more Egg Pawns bearing shields and a Cameron. Lilac used her Dragon Typhoon to blow the shields off then blasted them with Water Cannon before passing the lead to Naruto in power formation for him to make short work of the Cameron, they climbed up the stairs to the top and came across what appears to be a red and grey gong-like device positioned at the end of the pathway.
"I think this requires my strength to work," said Naruto, he punched the gong hard enough for it to flip over and catapult him and the others altogether into the air and landing on a large roulette table in their spinball forms as they proceeded to spin around it several times until going through an opening on the inner part rolling through a narrow slide all the way down to another pinball table. The team quickly made use of the flippers and bumpers to reach to the top of the table onto the next pathway as they went round the curve towards large floating red dices which were moving up and down in certain intervals. They switched to flight formation to make their way across and landed on another dual pinball table at the right side, the trio maneuvered their way to the left side and passed through an exit at the top to land in the next area. A trio of Cameron guarded a locked door so the team remained in power formation for Naruto to use his Tailed Flail whilst empowering Nicole and Lilac with his earth aspect to destroy them completely.
The team went ahead to pull the switches on either sides of the door to unlock it but they had to do so in flight formation as the switches were slightly out of normal reach before going through where they ran into a new robot. It is a gray robot with purple and cyan coloration that appear to resemble jellyfish. It has a UFO-like disc for a head that has a single purple eye, two arms that hang down and two discs at the end of the arms.
"Be careful, my scans reveal it to be a Klagen and its function is to capture. You must destroy it before it immobilizes any of us," Nicole quickly alerted the others.
"Thanks for the heads-up Nicole-chan," said Naruto, they saw the Klagen heading for them so Nicole used her Thunder Shoot to launch Lilac as a lightning cannonball to take it down for them to proceed to the end towards another glassed balcony for Naruto to smash their way through in power formation to land on the next pathway where a group of Egg Pawns, Cameron and Klagen were waiting for them. Naruto leapt into the air and used the Foxfire Slingshot to launch Nicole and Lilac as fireballs to take out the Egg Pawns and Cameron but he quickly moved away to avoid the two Klagen and switched to speed formation for Lilac to take over and use the Dragon Cyclone to destroy both of them. They switched to Flight formation for Nicole to carry them up to a platform overhead and came across another power gong which Naruto utilized while in Power formation to catapult them to the other side and boosted off a dash panel to run up a ramped wall to bounce off a spring at the top and land on another platform.
They jumped into a cannon and were launched onto a pinball table in spinball forms with all three entering a three slot-wheel machine at once. They timed their reels carefully with them stopping at [7, 7, 7] for a jackpot and were awarded with 300 rings before being ejected from the machine, like before they made use of the bumpers and flippers to ascend to the top of the pinball table and through an opening into the next area. The team switched to Flight formation to bounce off the floating green balls to ascend towards the upper level, there were three doorways but the center one is barred with lasers so they took the other route and launched off a dash ramp to land before another locked doorway guarded by two Klagen and a Cameron. Nicole quickly fired several digital spears at the Klagen to inflict damage then finished them off with Thunder Shoot before switching to Speed formation with Lilac using Dragon Typhoon to topple it over then taking it out with an Aqua Vortex Kick. The switch was high above the door so Nicole took the lead in Flight formation to fly up to it and pull to unlock.
They destroyed an Cameron upon entry before smashing through another glassed balcony to drop into a wide slide and onto another pinball in spinball forms with Naruto entering a single slot-wheel machine and stopping the reel on a Sonic symbol to be rewarded 20 rings, they all rolled down to the bottom of the pinball table and through a narrow slide which sent them spiraling round a tall building a couple of times before leading them down to the lower levels of the casino park and safely on a velvet pathway.
Music End
"Whoa, we really came a long way didn't we?" said Lilac.
"Indeed we did, and apparently Eggman must be nearby given the presence of his robots," said Nicole with a slight frown.
"Not to mention that we made a lot of cash from those slot machines on our way here," said Naruto with a smirk.
"Seems like your devil's luck is still bountiful as ever," said Kurama.
"Yeah, too bad that I can't share some of it with Granny Tsunade. Kami knows that she needs it to stave off that bad luck of hers," thought Naruto, hearing a snicker from Kurama before snapping back to attention and listening to Nicole and Lilac.
"As much as that is true Naruto, we shouldn't get sidetracked from our main reason for coming here," said Nicole playfully scolding Naruto, making him rub the back of his head sheepishly while Lilac giggled at him "So far Eggman isn't here in Casino Park throughout our exploration,"
"So where else can we look then?" asked Lilac.
"There's another area not far from here called Bingo Highway, I'm detecting Badniks activity over there so there's a good chance that Eggman.
"And another spot for some dash and cash, I'm all for that! Wanna keep this streak of ours going!" said Naruto excitedly.
"Alright Naruto, but we'll be skipping out in the slot machines to avoid wasting time," said Lilac, earning a shrug from the fox.
"No biggie, so let's get a move on,"
"Alright then, I'll lead the way," Nicole went off in a certain direction with Naruto and Lilac following after her towards their next location.
Music Start: Sonic Heroes OST; Stage 06 BINGO Highway
Sometime later, Naruto and the others are seen rolling down on a blue broad slide with great speed before passing through one of the three narrower blue slides to be sent spiraling around a few times before dropping off on the velvet pathway before an Egg Flapper and an Egg Pawn, Lilac used her Dragon Swoop attack to destroy the Egg pawn and flip into the air at a height enough to strike down the Egg Flapper too. They bounced off several diagonal springs on the walls to reach up to the upper level where they encounter a lone yellow Egg Flapper which is equipped with a searchlight.
"Exercise caution, that robot will alert the others should it spot us with the searchlight," said Nicole.
"Then we'll just have to take it out before it can do so, go for it Nicole-chan," said Naruto.
"Okay," Nicole took the lead in the Flight formation and used Thunder Shoot to paralyze it and a second shot to take it out, the team proceeded through the door behind and reached the end of the hallway towards a large fan producing wind through the vent below underneath them. Naruto took the lead in Power formation as he wrapped his tails around Nicole and Lilac then activated his Air aspect as he pointed his open palms downwards and projected jets of wind to propel the team upwards through the opening overhead to the top and reaching the next area, before them were two Klagen and an Egg pawn wielding a shield and laser pistol. Naruto enshrouded Nicole and Lilac with his foxfire before launching them as blue fireballs at the Klagen and destroying them before dashing towards the Egg pawn with a Rasengan in hand, the robot fired at the fox but constantly missed due to Naruto dashing from side to side before he got up close and rammed the jutsu to destroy it.
They moved further ahead and smashed through a glass screen for them to roll through another broad slide to descend and reached the end where they bounced off several springs to ascend to a platform with a cage on the right and an Egg Flapper equipped with a searchlight to their left. The team switched to Flight formation for Nicole to destroy the flying sentry and unlocking the cage to reveal a switch which they activated to make the giant red dices stop spiraling around and rather move up and down at certain intervals, Nicole carefully carried the team across the dices to reach the next platform with a power gong at the other end. They reverted to the Power formation as Naruto carried the girls with his tails before hitting the gong hard enough for it to flip over and catapult them into the air before landing on another broad slide for them to take on their spinball forms but Nicole noticed something and pointed it out to the others.
"Hey guys, there's Bingo on the table," said Nicole.
"Really?" asked Lilac in surprise.
"Awww yeah, fun time just went into overtime!" said Naruto excitedly.
"Pass through the number gates ahead and try to align the numbers on the display table to attain a bingo." Nicole advised them.
The trio continued to roll down the pinball-like slide as Naruto rolled through a #1 gate, they split in the middle with Lilac passing through #2 gate on the right and Nicole taking #3 gate on the left. They attempted to go for the #4 gate but the bumpers bounced them out of the way and passed by it, there were some barriers which knocked them back a few times before fading away and Naruto could only pass through #6 which triggered a bingo and rewarded them with 20 rings. The path then went into a zigzag route before they passed through a #8 gate to trigger another bingo for the next 20 rings, Naruto managed to maneuver himself to pass through the narrow center route to pass through the #9 gate for the third bingo and extra 20 rings before exiting through a blue narrow slide to enter a large pinball table. The team used the multiple flippers to reach up to the top of the table and pass through an opening to land in the next area.
Ahead of them are a trio of Klagen with one of them being a golden variant, they made their way towards the team and attempted to capture them, however Nicole carried the others out of their reach in Flight formation then launched Naruto and Lilac with Thunder Shoot to take out two of the Klagen while the golden one was stunned before impaling it with several projected digital spears. They moved on ahead to bounce off one of the floating green balls to reach up to the red dice for Nicole to carry them up to the upper level where there was an Egg flapper equipped with a searchlight which she quickly took out before it could spot them. They continued along the pathway and destroyed another Egg Flapper then were about to cross over a gap with use of the giant dices when Lilac spoke up.
"These walls are close enough for me to use the Triangle Jump to get across to the other side," said Lilac thoughtfully.
"Then let's go for it," said Naruto.
The trio switched to Speed formation as Lilac jumped towards one of the walls and landed sideways on her feet, then she proceeded to jump horizontally between the walls while moving perpendicularly across the gap to the other side with Naruto also doing the same while Nicole simply flew after them. They moved on along the pathway to the end and bounced off a wide spring to go through a large tunnel in their spinball forms as the path curved left then right before dropping down to another one to descend further and reached the end to bounce of another spring to ascend to the upper platform. There the team ran into a pair of Egg pawns wielding machine guns and an Egg flapper guarding a switch to the door behind them, Lilac attacked the Egg pawns with the Dragon Cyclone then fired a Water Cannon to bring the Egg flapper down to the ground and finishing it off with an Aqua Vortex kick.
The team activated the switch to unlock the door and continued on ahead to the end to find another large fan blowing through the vent so Naruto took the lead in Power formation and used the air thrusters whilst carrying the girls to quickly ascend to the top
"There are more of Eggman's robots ahead of us," said Nicole, gazing at said robots standing on the pathway with a frown.
"Leave the demolition to me," said Naruto, he performed the Kitsune slingshot to launch them at some of the robots as blue fireballs while in midair before landing on the ground. He waited for them to quickly returned and jump into his tails in their spinball forms as he engulfed tem with his foxfire then he rushed towards to smash them to pieces with them before performing a 360 spin for a radial attack to clear the Badniks out of the area and unlocking the guarded cage to reveal a switch to the door.
The team moved past the unlocked door through the hallway and stopped at another glassed balcony for Naruto to smash through for them to drop down onto another broad slide for the second game of bingo. Nicole quickly went around a wide bumper to pass through the #1 gate behind it before they launched off a ramp and landing back on the slide which suddenly split and Lilac passed through #3 on the right though they missed the #2 on the left but continued on nonetheless, Naruto went through a left turn and passed through a #4 gate but had to quickly avoid a pitfall ahead before balancing along a narrow bridge to pass through a #5 gate at the end then jumping off to land back on the slide in time to pass through a #6 gate before a right turn. There were several bumpers and barriers which the team had to move around, Lilac and Nicole were the ones to pass through #8 and #9 gates to get a triple bingo to earn 60 rings before they all went through the narrow slide to land onto a pinball table and they dropped down through the opening at the bottom to the lower level amongst a cluster of springs.
The team changed to Speed formation for Lilac to use the triangle jump to cross over a gap ahead of them to the side with the rest following suit, she fired several Water Cannon at the incoming Klagen then followed it up with the Dragon Swoop to take them out, an Egg pawn took aim with its laser pistol and was about to fire but Nicole impaled it with a digital spear. They moved on and bounced off the floating green balls to reach up to the platform overhead where a power gong was stationed. Naruto took charge in Power formation and made the power gong catapult them to the next area where they bounced off a wide spring to ascend to the upper platform, there they several Badniks along with crates stored behind glass screens on the floor.
"They just keep on coming and we just keep on smashing," said Naruto, he rushed at the Egg pawns and constantly bashed at their shields with an earth enhanced Tailed Flail then switched to Foxfire Flail once the shields were destroyed to do the same for the robots. Naruto quickly dashed backwards to avoid getting zapped by the Egg flapper flying overhead then the team switched to Flight formation as Nicole carried the others into the air then used Thunder Shoot to paralyze the Egg flapper and a second shot to take it, she saw the Klagen hovering over to capture one of them and projected several digital spears to damage it before passing the lead over to Lilac in Speed formation for the purple dragoness to use the Oceanic Torpedo to finish the robot off.
"Now that they're gone, how do we get up there with those dices acting up?" asked Lilac looking up at the spiraling dices above them.
"If anything like the ones before, we need to find the switch for them," said Naruto.
"Leave that to me," Nicole's eyes began scanning around the area for a few moments before speaking up "I found it, hidden underneath a metal crate under the left topmost glass screen and there's a spring on the right glass screen,"
"I got it!" Naruto rushed over to the marked spots and smashed through the glass before destroying the crates to reveal the switch and activated it to stabilize the red dices to move up and down now, then he went to the right side and destroyed the glass and crates to reveal the spring "We're all set so let's go,"
Nicole took the lead in Flight formation and reactivated her digital wings to carry others into the air with use of the floating green balls and red dices to reach to the upper level where there was a blue narrow slide leading towards the third game of Bingo. They all went into their spinball forms to enter the slide and through a long winding tunnel before exiting into the broad blue slide, things are a bit tougher as there're more bumpers and pitfalls in the path so they had to be more careful. The path split up so Naruto took the right to pass through the #1 gate whilst Nicole and Lilac went left to pass through #2 gate before rejoining in the end. The path had a left turn so Naruto took the outer lane to pass through #3 gate before dropping down to the lower slide, the path suddenly narrowed with no railing but Naruto maneuvered along it to pass through #5 to make it to the other side. Several barriers got in the way but Lilac managed to pass through #7 to attain a double bingo and earn 40 rings before the team went one of the tree narrow slides to drop onto a pinball table area but they didn't stay too long as they found their way out and continued moving along the broad slide to drop down to another slide before resuming their descent with Nicole going through a #9 gate for another bingo to earn 20 rings.
The team went through a couple of narrow blue slides to descend towards the last pinball table of the stage, Naruto and the others made use of the flippers to hits the barriers several times before they disappeared and they could go through the exit which leads them out of the Bingo Highway.
Music End
"Man that was a lot of fun, we gotta do this again sometime," said Naruto with a smirk.
"I have to admit that it was fun playing the bingo game too," said Lilac.
"Not only that, but I'm detecting Eggman nearby," said Nicole.
Naruto punched his fists together "Just in time after our warm-up, let's go and say hi to that walking poultry," the girls giggled at that.
"His signature is this way,"
Nicole took to the air and flew off with Naruto and Lilac following after her, it took sometime and the trio soon found themselves standing in the middle of a large circular platform resembling that of a roulette table. They looked around for any traces of the doctor and they soon found flying about in his Egg Mobile.
"Hey Eggman, you still haven't answered our question from before!" said Lilac.
"So it was you three again, you're the ones who have been making a mess of things and collecting large amounts of rings from my casinos," said Eggman with a glare.
Naruto simply shrugged "It's one of the basic rules of a casino, you win some and you lose some…though in this case 'some' isn't a suitable word for description,"
"Now you're going to tell us why you attacked the Knothole village," said Nicole with a frown
"Instead of answering to your worthless questions, I have a much better idea…GET THOSE THREE!" Eggman thrust a hand at the trio as he commanded his Badniks to appear and attack them.
Naruto rolled his eyes and let out a groan "Typical bad guy response, send the lackeys to attack while having a tantrum,"
"It shouldn't come as a surprise, you've met your share of such people back in the Elemental Nations," said Kurama with a quirked eyebrow.
"Doesn't change the fact that is practically a default plan shared by all villains across dimensions," Naruto took a combat stance "Get ready you two, cause here they come!"
"I'm ready!" said Lilac.
Nicole nodded in affirmation "Same here!"
Music Start: Sonic Heroes OST; Boss: Robot Carnival/Robot Storm
A fleet of five Egg flappers teleported onto the platform with the green ones opening fire at the trio with their machine guns, Naruto positioned himself in front of Lilac and Nicole then crossed his arms whilst channeling chakra into the ECG-X gloves to project a rectangular energy shield which deflected the ballistic projectiles from hitting them, Lilac rushed forward and launched off Naruto's shoulder to take to the air before unleashing multiple Dragon Swoop attacks on the Egg Flappers and destroying them before landing back on the ground. However another fleet of Egg Flappers appeared and were ready to attack. Nicole was quick to respond by flying towards one of the Egg Flappers whilst first firing blasts of data at two others before landing on the robot and hacked its systems, then she commanded the robots to fire at each other before triggering their self-destruct sequences to take themselves out and gliding back to the others.
"Muhahaha, smash them all!" Eggman cackled loudly.
Then four Egg Flappers and three Egg Pawns wielding lances appeared on the platform with the latter three charging towards the team with their lances positioned in front of them "Tailed Flail!" Naruto took the lead in Power formation and held Nicole and Lilac in his tails which he swung one of them to deflect the joust attacks then unleashed a combo of strikes to destroy them, he dashed backwards to evade the shots being fired at him from the Egg Flappers then threw a Hirashin kunai into the air above the robots before warping over to it. Nicole took over in Flight formation to carry her teammates in the air "Thunder Shoot!" she launched them in the forms of electric cannonballs to destroy the Egg Flappers before they landed back on the ground. More Egg Flappers appeared to attack but Nicole continued to use her Thunder Shoot to take them down quickly before they could launch an offensive. Four Egg Flappers teleported from the outer part of the platform and converged towards the center whilst constantly shooting electric lasers straight down to the ground from above. Lilac was the next to take the lead in Speed formation and sprayed all four robots with Aqua Splash to soak them with water which caused them to short-circuit and crash to the ground for her to use Oceanic Torpedo to take them out.
"Is this all you got eggy? Those bots are better off as training dummies in gyms than soldiers," said Naruto tauntingly.
"They're easier to beat than Brevon's robots," said Lilac.
"The firmware of their systems are rather outdated," said Nicole nonchalantly.
Eggman simply scoffed "Hmph, we're only just getting started. Attack!"
The team were surrounded by Egg Pawns with shields and lances, and Egg Flappers carrying bombs. Naruto got out of the way of the Egg pawns' attacks but had to move again to evade the explosions from the bombs being dropped at them, that was when Nicole swung into action as she proceeded to channel a large amount of her digital powers within herself "EM Burst!" then she unleashed a large radial blast of pixels around her which only affected the Badniks, causing blue arcs of electricity to course through their bodies and rendering them unable to move at all, Naruto activated his celestial aspect with a white halo appearing then he thrust his hands forwards with white orbs appearing "Light Gatling Bullets!" he fired a barrage of photon bullets at the immobile robots to take them out.
Now the team found themselves surrounded by a circle of Egg Flappers and all were taking aim and about to fire at the trio. Naruto and the others stood back to back then resorted to using long range attack to take them out before being attacked. Naruto projected a celestial construct of a bow and began to fire Light Arrows at his targets, Nicole launched multiple Digital Spears and Lilac rapidly used Water Cannon to destroy her share of the Badniks till all were cleared out. A large group of Klagen appeared and closed in on the trio to capture them, the team switched to Flight formation for Nicole to use her Thunder Shoot to destroy all of them from a safe range till they were cleared out. The next to show up were a group of Cameron led by a golden variant as the Badniks their cannons at the team, forcing them to dodge.
"This will take too long, I think now it's time for us to use our newest Team Blast," said Lilac.
"I'm ready when you are," said Naruto.
"Same for me," Nicole gave her the green light.
Lilac nodded in affirmation "Then let's do it, Cyclonic Triplex!"
"Water Spinjitzu!" Lilac started spinning rapidly as a tornado of water formed around her "Wind Spinjitzu!" Naruto also started spinning whilst summoning a vortex of wind around him as well "Lightning Spinjitzu!" Nicole was the last to begun spinning while surrounded by arcs of electricity. The trio proceeded to move around randomly in a pinball like fashion all the while striking and ricocheting off the Cameron multiple times for a bit before converging to the center and fusing together to form a supertwister which pulled in all of the Badniks within range and destroyed them from within itself. The trio disengaged to end the technique for the supertwister to dissipate with the robots completely destroyed.
Next up were a pair of Cameron and two Egg Pawns wielding rocket launchers, and four Egg Flappers equipped with bombs. The team switched to Power formation with Naruto rushing towards the Cameron and smashed them up with his Tailed Flail then he quickly somersaulted backwards into the air to evade the rockets being fired at him by the Egg Pawns before retaliating by using Foxfire Slingshot to launch Nicole and Lilac as blue fireballs to destroy them. Nicole took the lead in Flight formation and maneuvered the team away from the dropped bombs then used Thunder Shoot to destroy the Egg Flappers.
"Oy Eggman, is this all ya got cause we haven't even broken a sweat from all this," said Naruto with a smirk.
"I'm rather disappointed," said Nicole in a playful manner.
"Ditto," said Lilac.
"Don't get so excited, those were the easy ones! Next time you won't be so lucky!" Eggman quickly flew away in his Egg Mobile.
Music End
Naruto stretched his arms a bit before shrugging them "That was a bit of a letdown, that guy ought to go quality instead of quantity,"
"And as always, he runs away at the sight of defeat. Brevon proved himself to be more difficult," said Lilac with a quirked eyebrow.
"It's best that we avoid underestimating the doctor, he hadn't lasted all these years being incompetent," said Nicole.
"True that, and we're yet to find out exactly what he's up to," said Naruto.
"I suspect that he has a grand plan in mind and the attack on Knothole was nothing more than a sidequest to him," said Kurama.
"I was feeling the same way about that,"
"Then we'll just have to keep pursuing him until we find out what his plans are then," said Lilac.
"Something we're already doing from the beginning," said Nicole.
"Let's find our way out of here and continue with the chase," Naruto while getting nods of affirmation from Nicole and Lilac before they left the platform to continue with their mission.
This is Hussbek online with the latest chapter, Naruto and the gang managed to track Eggman from Grand Metropolis to Casino Park where they had some fun playing a couple of games whilst searching for the doctor until they found him lurking at BINGO Highway where he unleashed waves of Badniks at them but were destroyed in the long run before he fled from the area with them in pursuit.
