The Warm sun Shone down on the Soon to be battlefield as Dropships came flying out of the Air, Followed by Scores of Tyto Owls, They Landed in the Ground outside of Caer Dathyl, Beginning the Assault, As Scratch IronClaw. Lord Jargafars Second In Command, Hopped out of the Dropship, Followed By Tak, Killconey, Cheesethief and Fangburn.
Scratch: Metal Beak, Take your pure ones and Meet Gwydion's forces on the Front lines.
A large Greater Sooty Owl with A large metal Mask covering his face hovered over them.
Metal Beak: As you say Commander, The Freedom watch will fall as you lead us.
And He flew off, Accompanied by his wife Nyra and His three Lieutenants, Stryker Wortmore and Uglamore.
Cheesethief: Why aren't we joining the Main action with everyone else?
Scratch: While Metal Beak and the others distract the Freedom watch, We will move behind enemy lines and Obtain the Aloha key.
Killconey: The Alpha what?
Tak: The Alpha Key, It's a device created for the sole purpose of Locating the Chaos Emeralds.
Scratch: We must Capture it for our Master, He will than use it to Find the Chaos Emeralds.
Fangburn: And then what?
Scratch: That is not for you to know, Captain.
The Five Villains began their Mission as The Alarm bells from the Watchtowers sounded and the Battle was Joined as Freedom watch Soldiers Scrambled to their BattleStations to repeal the Invading Horde of Badniks, Weasels, Rats, Stoats, Ferrets and Tyto Owls.
The Team of Five crept thought the Battle undetected, eventually reaching a door leading to the Archives.
Tak: This is the Main entrance to the Freedom watch Archives, They call it the Hall of Lore.
Scratch: This should be where the Alpha key is hidden.
Killconey: You notice how easy this has bean?
Fangburn: Wonder why.
Scratch ignored their mindless talk, But evan he had to wonder about the low resistance they had encountered, He turned out his blaster and blew the Door open to find the Hall of Lore and several bodies with Tak's Robot Mimi standing over them.
Tak stepped forward and knelt down to her servant.
Tak: Excellent work Mimi.
Cheesethief: Guess that Explains it.
Scratch: Search this Library!
The Villains separated, They turned over Bookshelves, Searched under desks, Felt the Walls for anything.
Fangburn: Found something.
The Others went over to where Fangburn was and found a large Safe door.
Cheesethief: What is it?
Scratch: The vault to the Alpha Key, At last!
IronClaw transformed his Claw into a Canon, and Fired at the Safe door, Only to find nothing there, Except a Projector.
Killconey: Wow, That's… Nothing.
Scratch: I don't Understand, Where is it!?
The Projector suddenly turned on to show a Tall Man with what seemed to many to look like the "Shaggy Grey-Haired hair of a wolf." His Eyes were Golden and He looked every inch a Warrior.
Gwydion: Scratch IronClaw, You and your comrades Profane this place with your foul Presence.
Scratch: Prime Commander, My Master has long imagined ways of sealing your fate.
Gwydion: Ha, And I see he continues to let his Dragon make his Threats, Instead of saying them himself in person, If you seek the Alpha Key than tell your master He has failed.
The Image faded away as the Projector turned off.
Voice: Freeze!
The Five villains turned around to face several Heavily armed Troops.
Scratch: Well, More scum for me.
After a long and Vicious battle, THe team emerged from the room and Continued their Search for the Alpha Key.
Scratch: Tak, Trace Gwydion's Broadcast signal.
Tak's Pack released Goggles from them and scanned for the Signal.
Tak: It's just through the Courtyard.
Scratch: Good, The Alpha Key is in reach.
When they Arrived at the Courtyard, They found their Forces had already secured it, Scratch went to talk with Cluny.
Scratch: Make your report.
Cluny: We've secured the Courtyard General, Those that stayed and fought were either captured, Killed or are still fighting, the Rest were Shepherd out of here by the Prime Commander.
Scratch: And where is he?
Cluny: Just beyond this Door.
Scratch turned his attention to the Large door in front of him and Prepared to Fire.
And when He did, He was shocked, The Door wasn't evan dented.
Scratch: WHAT!?
Tak examined it.
Tak: As I thought, Mu Metal, The Strongest Iron on Earth, Your Cannon has no Effect on it, We'll have to use a bigger Gun.
Killconey: Like a cannon?
Tak: Precisely.
Fangburn: But where do we get that kind of Firepower?
Scratch: We have a battle ship you fool, Cluny, Tell Metal beak to send in some bombers.
Cluny: But there's too much fire power.
Scratch: Than It appears we need to Correct that, We must disable the Turrets to Allow our Bombers a clear path.
Just than, Nyra came down from the Sky with Stryker behind her.
Nyra: My Husband already has that taken care of sir.
Scratch was pleased.
Scratch: Excellent, Clear the Courtyard.
As they made way for the Bombers, Several red Aircrafts soon came in and Dropped their bombs right at the door as it exploded.
Stryker: The Doors should gone now.
Scratch: Perfect, Cluny, Nyra, Stryker, Remain here and hold this position, There rest of us will move ahead and secure the Alpha Key.
ANd with that, IronClaw and his cohorts continued their mission as they enter the castle, Their journey eventually found them in a great hall, to the left was a window leading to an empty room, A Rat was there Looking desperate.
Fangburn: Hey! That's one of our guys!
The floor beneath the soldier was glowing blue.
Killconey: look! What's Gwydion up to?
The imprisoned Rat Jumped out of the way, Just was a large pillar dropped down from above.
Rat: Hey… I'm still alive! I'm still…
But he didn't notice the other floor he was standing over was glowing blue as well, And a pillar came down and crushed him Mid sentence.
Scratch: idiot…
And with that, The group made their way to another large door, This one lead to the Alpha key for sure.
Scratch: Time for a little retrieval, Advance!
Scratch Blasted the Door open and the five Villains walked into a large room at the end closest to them was a small black rectangle.
Scratch: Yes! Finally.
But before he could grab it, It suddenly pulled away from it, and There it found itself in the Hands Of Prime Commander Gwydion himself, Standing on a platform.
Gwydion: You didn't think it would be this easy? Servant of The Dark one?
Scratch: Come down Here! Prime Commander and I will serve you to my Master in one piece.
Gwydion: I think I'll remain where I am, THis vantage point will provide an excellent vantage point to see to your doom.
As Gwydion spoke a large dome surrounded him and a Projection of himself on top.
Gwydion: My will controls this very room, Ironclaw, I need only to crush you with my slightest hand to end you once and for all.
The Floor below began to glow blue as pillars came crashing down on the Villains.
Cheesethief: He's trying to smash us!
Scratch: Your theatricks don't frighten me, Gwydion.
Gwydion: I'm not trying to frighten you, I just intend to lesson Jargafars list of Thugs.
As Gwydion continued dropping pillars, His Machine suddenly needed to recharge, the core of the Machine was revealed, Allowing Scratch Enough time to blast it.
Gwydion: NO!
Gwydion could do Nothing as Scratch blasted through his machine and it crashed around the Prime Commander, He tried to unsheathe his sword, But to late, IronClaw was upon him, The Stoat Grabbed him by the throat and threw him to the ground, Standing over him, He held the cube in his Organic Claw.
Scratch: Victory…
Later.
The Villains were scrapping the spoils from their Conquest, Rats Weasels, Ferrets, Stoats, Tytos and Badniks were sorting their trophies when Scratch and his team emerged with the Cube.
Tak: This is not the Key, It just leads us to it.
Scratch: Than where is the real one?
Tak: We'll have to find out.
Cluny and Metalbeak sidled up to the Pair.
Scratch: Make your report.
Metal Beak: We are clearly the victors of this Battle Commander, Sadly the Rest of the Freedom watch escaped, However we did acquire some Prisoners.
Four Mobian Creatures were lined up against the cliffside, A pig named Hamilton, A green armadillo and Arlo, A purple Platypus named Penelope and a Brown porcupine named Dylan.
Scratch: Is that all?
Cluny: Yes sir.
Scratch: Hmp, Pity.
Arlo: We'll never reveal where they are you vermin, You won't make us talk!
Scratch: Than don't talk than, DIE!
Scratch ran Arlo threw with his Saber.
Penelope: NO!
Penelope cried over Arlos body as Dylan Comforted her.
Hamilton: You have no Honor.
Scratch: We are the Servants of Darkness, Where we lie, Honor is a sin, And those who believe in it must die OPEN FIRE!
A line of E-100s aimed at the three Prisoners and Fired.
