Metal Sonic wobbled as the ground shook, nearly losing his footing. Looking skyward he noticed the armada airship, as well as the missiles as they launched screaming into the air. Great, the metallix thought, things were just continuing to escalate. Glancing in the direction Shadow had run off in, he concluded there was nothing he could do for the situation right now. Shadow could handle himself, and wherever Sonic had run off to, he could as well. It was more important that he reach that terminal! Taking off through the alley, Metal navigated through the maze of backstreets, doing his best to avoid detection as he made his way toward the building with the coveted access terminal. Leaping through a broken window into a run-down building. Finally he had reached his target. As he straightened himself up, the very first thing he took notice of... was a giant hole in the floor. "..." Metal cautiously walked toward it and glanced down. He could hear noises coming from the lower levels like a fight was taking place. He glanced up, noticing more holes coming from several stories above him. He glanced back down. His digital eyelids lowered half mast as he constructed a mental image of what was taking place.

The final Pawn in the squad crashed to the floor, electricity sparking from its chassis as Shadow spun about in mid air and landed beside it, tossing the blaster to the floor idly, his head still craned up towards the battleship. He flinched at the sound of screeching metal from the rooftops and he watched curiously as the missile launchers unleashed their payload. Safe to assume that battleship isn’t with Eggman now…Or maybe it was and this base was under someone else’s control. The fact that Metal was having such trouble accessing a system he was designed to be able to was what stuck out to him. Sonic and himself being attacked, well that was normal, but Metal? Glancing over into the alleyway Shadow saw the cobalt blue metallix streaking off towards a skyscraper and quickly sped off after him. The robot seemed to be taking greater care to go undetected than Shadow would’ve but eventually Metal jumped into a window and Shadow followed suite. Spotting the obvious hole just as Metal did, Shadow stepped up to his side. “Any idea what made this? If we’re going down there I’d like to know what we’re up against.”

Metal glanced at Shadow, the unamused look still evident in his eyes. "I am certain Sonic did this," Metal responded. "Either way, the hub is down there." With that said, the metallix lept into the hole.

Hearing that just made everything seem to make more sense. The escalation was exactly the kind of thing Sonic would cause. As Shadow gave Metal a few seconds of falling before jumping in after him, his skates flaring up to slow his decent, he hoped for Sonic’s sake that he’d at least cleared out the room…and left the terminal untouched.

The hedgehog eventually returned to the ground from his sudden pinball-like ascent, sticking the landing on foot and knee as he continued rubbing his head. The Death Egg Robot's features were certainly a touch more resilient than he remembered it being. Possible body armor enhancements, perhaps? Sonic wasn't entirely sure... But, a little voice in his head told him that it was worth a few extra knocks to see if he could brute-force a weak spot, and so he once again prepared a leap as the machine prepared to charge once more, rockets on its back starting to power up. However, as Sonic hurtled himself towards the robot, he collided with an unsuspecting Metal Sonic that just so happened to land directly in front of him, an amalgamation of organic and machine tumbling messily along the floor before the two came to a stop. Sonic groaned loudly, and he could definitely feel a headache coming on by this point. Out of the corner of his eye, he could also see Shadow arriving, at a much more controlled descent. "Uurugh... oh, hey guys! You found my hole! Cool!"

As the large, barely lit room came into view Shadow let out a scoff as he saw the two Sonics crumble onto the floor before his eyes locked onto the giant attention-demanding robot beaming it’s unsettling, permanent grin. Shadow landed a few metres behind the blue counterparts, dropping into a ready stance as he anticipated the robot to attack any moment. Still he could get in a snarky comment at Sonic of course. “Naturally you’d be the one to find the largest of them and try to take it on alone. I assume falling on your face is part of some keen battle plan, hm?” The black hedgehog’s hand began to emit a crackling yellow aura as he charged a bolt of chaos energy in his palm. “Do we know if this one is behind all of this or just another puppet?” He asked as he swung his arm in a backhand and threw out a Chaos Spear towards the large automaton.

Metal barely had a chance to process the fact Sonic had slammed into him before he'd hit the floor. His eyes lighting ablaze, he made a series of very loud beeps and chirps as he turned and shoved Sonic off of him. Pulling himself back to his feet, he squinted at the larger robot across the room. It looked like a Death Egg robot, albeit a model he wasn't immediately able to identify. What struck him immediately were the spikes haphazardly welded all over it - particularly the parody of a crown. His head tilted to one side. "Who are you?"

The hand grasping the trident began to spin wildly as the robot placed the weapon in front, the object spiraling so quickly that it became nothing more than a blur as the oncoming 'Spear' struck, the robot managing to deflect the shot off towards the side. The spinning subsided, its giant hand glowing ruby red from the heat it generated, and as it cooled, the robot looked directly towards Metal Sonic, and let out some sort of distorted, crackling laugh upon realizing who the other machine was. "METAL... SONIC... THE TRAITOROUS ONE... I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE YOU ON... THE MONITORS..." The Death Egg Robot stood to its fullest height, and slammed the pointed end of its weapon into the ground. "UNSURPRISING, HOWEVER, WAS HOW QUICK YOU WERE TO LEAVE US YET AGAIN... LEAVING ME TO PICK UP YOUR PIECES..." It jabbed its fingers in the direction of the organic beings, and let out a thunderous roar of steam as the LEDs behind its eyes and endless grin shifted to a deep shade of blood red. "BUT YOU RETURN, NOT TO RESUME YOUR POST... BUT YOU ARE HELPING... THESE ENEMIES OF THE EMPIRE? ARE YOU ALSO NOT AWARE... OF THE BATTLE FORTRESS INTRUDING IN THE SKIES? I AM UNCLEAR WHICH SIDE YOU ARE ON, BUT YOU SEEM TO BE ACTING OUTSIDE OF OUR CREATOR'S WISHES... GROUND THAT MUST BE FAMILIAR TO YOU, I AM SURE." -- Sonic prepared a stance, just in case the robot decided it was going to charge again at a moment's notice. He glanced over to Shadow as the machine directed its attention, and apparent scorn, towards Metal for the time being. "This guy's definitely the one runnin' the show. Guess it's somethin' our dear Egg left behind... Definitely not a friendly." Dropping his voice down a little, he continued. "We prolly wanna take out that command center before anythin' else. I don't like that battle fortress or whatever, but, we'll have twice the amount o' problems if we get out and have to fend off attacks from both this base and the enemy in the sky. As soon as ol' Prince of all Eggs decides to make a move, you distract 'im and I'll make quick work o' the box behind 'im. Sound good? Great, I knew I could count on you, buddy." He grinned, looking back to the robot as he waited for an opportunity. He sure looked proud of himself.

So that ship above the city –was- a new force encroaching on the base. If it were GUN he’d surely have received word about it so whoever it was, chances are they weren’t allies. Even if they were, an all out battle would only have the three caught in the crossfire. This robot throwing accusations at Metal…Claiming he was a traitor? Shadow found it hard to believe that Metal would go rogue or at the very least be –allowed- to after last time so it seemed much more likely this mechanical imitation of the Doctor was simply dysfunctional. He bared his teeth, scoffing at Sonic’s presumption. Trying to keep his voice low as the two robots glared each other down. “Yes, let’s potentially disable all ground to air forces this base has and make it that much easier for that flying battleship to annihilate us.” His ruby eyes then turned to the metallix infront of him. “If Metal Sonic can get access to that terminal he may be able to take control of those very defences and shut down the Doctor’s robots. We should –both- focus on distracting this malfunctioning impostor to buy him time.”

Just then, there was a crackle of static from Shadow's earpiece. "-dow, Agent Shadow do you read?"
Barely a few miles away from the base's location, a GUN transport helicopter sped through the air. On board, Agent Sally Acorn leaned over the central console between the pilots, gazing out the front windshield as she spoke into the mic for the craft's radio held in her hand. She frowned as she watched the large airship hovering over the base in the distance. "This is Agent Acorn, I'm inbound on your location, but we've got visual on an unknown air battleship exchanging fire with ground units over your position. What's the current status on the ground?"

Metal Sonic glowered over the heavy accusations. At his sides his talons were flexing and one could swear he seemed to have twitched once or twice. He closed his eyes as the larger of the two machines finished speaking, looping his arms and turning his face away. "Tch," Metal grumbled, managing to hold his composure together. "My prior transgressions have since been amended. I serve the Eggman Empire and speak on behalf of it as its new second-in-command and five-star general. My 'association' with these two only extends insofar as the fact you have chosen to attack me alongside them and lock me out of the local network," he looked back at the death egg robot, glaring. "And what of you? What is this? Clearly, you have gone rogue. Are you a hypocrite to be speaking of my treason, or are you still loyal to the Empire?"

Above the base, a barrage of missiles headed straight for the huge battle fortress. The Base suddenly burst into a Flurry of flashing red lights and loud screeching alarms, the armada of small avian crewmen running around the Grand Battle Kukkus feet. "WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPINING?!" cawwed XV as he slammed his huge fist onto the PA system controls. "ALL GROUND TROOPS RETURN TO BASE! WERE UNDER ATTACK!" "S-SIR! We also have another inbound air craft approaching.. the signature coming from it appears to be GUN.." The Battle lord paused to think. This was supposed to be a simple salvage mission but now his base, his legacy even, is under attack from an unknown force. And could the armada also take on a possible direct conflict with GUN? "Lieutenant, power up the engines and the shields!"

The massive machine stared Metal down. If it had been capable, it may have been narrowing its empty eyes towards the self-proclaimed 'Second in Command'. The spherical end of its staff began to glow as the robot crouched into an attack-ready stance once more. "I AM LOYAL... I TOOK UP ARMS... TOOK OVER THIS FACILITY... TO CONTINUE OUR FATHER'S WORK UNTIL HIS RETURN... IF YOU SEEK A TRAITOR TO THE CAUSE, YOU WILL NOT FIND ONE HERE -- OTHER THAN THE ONE STANDING IN YOUR VERY SPOT." The engines on its back flared to life as the Death Egg Robot began to emanate a most irritating screech from within. "WE... WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO INTERFERE...!" Without missing a beat, the metal giant took off instantly, readying that trident before hurling it point-first for Metal Sonic with the speed of a jet, the ends crackling with an intense energy that gave off a familiar, but somewhat odd, sort of energy... The hedgehog listened to his moody companion, a hand cupped underneath his chin as if he had been in deep thought all the while... "... Oh, hey, you know what - your idea's good, too." Sonic shrugged, and offered a simple smile, complete with thumbs up. Tough thinking? He usually left that to Tails. But, without his little buddy around, Shadow was the next best thing he could ask for. ... Even if he was a bit of a grouch. Though, it was a bit of a shame - his option could've made things a bit more fun than they already were. Surely. Lost fun aside, Sonic opened his mouth to add to the conversation, before his ears suddenly perked, and thus his gaze immediately snapped onto the end of that trident with little hesitation. Something reacted in that little sphere, and he felt it clear as day. "Oh. H-hey, here's a thing, Shadow -- Iffy News, Bad News time. Iffy news first. Uhhh hhhhh, so, I thiiink this guy has an Emerald in his trident. The Bad news issss.... uh." He watched the giant robot hurl its entire form towards Metal Sonic, Sonic himself preparing to leap away just in case they got too close. "... That may not be a Chaos Emerald in there."

Back in the sky...
As the salvo of missiles either met their marks, or were stopped by the activating shields of the flying fortress, something else was happening on the ground level - more objects were launching into the sky. Only, this time, it wasn't missiles.
Numerous airborne formations were streaking up into the sky, vapor trails stringing behind well over several dozen Egg Flappers. As they began to near the Fortress, a handful of the groups charged their mounted turrets with a blast before letting loose their shots towards the battleship before dispersing, scattering all about to fire their weapons randomly in the hopes of striking potential weak spots, or any poor, hapless individuals who happened to be out in the open.
The sounds of lasers and energy blasts echoed endlessly throughout the sky as the attack was on.

He had to admit, it was surprising. Sonic actually agreed with him, with no arguing. Still Shadow was thankful for the ease with which his plan was accepted. Maybe this could still be pulled off afterall. He didn’t trust Metal Sonic for a moment but knew the metallix was more than likely to agree to continue their little truce until the greater threats of this Death Egg robot and the unknown battleship bombing the base were dealt with. With any luck he could still run back to the building with GUN’s portable drive in it, assuming the building was still standing, and extract the information before leaving. He could still complete his mission. Just then the ebony hybrid flinched as his ear was assaulted with static. He’d heard the name Acorn around HQ. It seemed odd that such an agent would be assigned to what had initially been a simple mission but one problem at a time. He brought a finger up to press the minute button on his earpiece. “This is Shadow. Currently we don’t know who that airship belongs to but they certainly seem hostile. I’m still inside the base, encountering heavy resistance. We have a plan to regain control, stand by.” A ripple of irritation ran through Shadow as he relayed his message. Sonic was still talking, moreover he was stammering which was very…not him. What the hell was he trying to sa-…An emerald? Shadow’s brow peaked as he glanced to the furious behemoth of a robot as it rushed forward at them. His skates erupted a blast of energy that sent him sailing backwards to skid to a halt safely out of the way of the charging attack. He definitely felt energy coming from that thing but it wasn’t Chaos, so how could it be..? Sonic confirmed it. They were both in tune with Chaos energy enough to know when they were and were –not- sensing it. Shadow strained to recall, he didn’t know of any other Emeralds beyond the Chaos ones….except. He’d heard of that other dimension having their own set of Emeralds, ones that cat girl was always looking for. That would account for the odd energy he was feeling but what in Chaos’ name was an emerald from –that- dimension doing –here-? He tapped his earpiece again, “Be advised. The robot in charge of this base may have possession of…” What were they called again? “..A Sol Emerald.”

"Damn..." Sally muttered to herself at Shadow's last words. This was not how this operation was supposed to go. The base was supposed to be inactive, there weren't supposed to be any others here, and there certainly wasn't supposed to be an Emerald...especially not one of THOSE Emeralds. She pressed the transmit button again. "That's a negative Agent Shadow. I'm deploying forces to take control of the situation topside. Your new priority is now to retrieve and keep that Emerald out of hostile possession if at all possible. The mission is now secondary. Acorn out." She cut the transmission and turned to the pilot. "Set down here. We'll deploy now." The pilot nodded giving her a "Yes, ma'am," before the flight crew went to work bringing the aircraft in for a landing. Sally, meanwhile, slipped off her headset and carefully made her way to the rear compartment. There, a makeshift launch rig had been set up facing the helicopter's rear ramp, inside which rested a robotic thrope hedgehog, slightly taller than normal for an organic one, colored in mostly dark blue with purple highlights, with a G.U.N. insignia on its' right shoulder armor. Strapped into the seat along the wall closest to the frame was a lynx thrope, dressed in a standard GUN jumpsuit and holding a laptop which was wired up to said frame. Though she didn't appear to be doing anything besides holding it steady, multiple readouts still flashed over the screen. "What's his status, Nicole?" Sally asked, bracing herself against another seat as the craft began to drop down for a landing. Nicole looked up from her screen, though the data-streams continued uninterrupted. "Excellent timing Sally, the diagnostic cycle just completed." As if in response to her words, a pair of bright green optics lit up on the robot, glancing around quickly as Silver Sonic took in his surroundings. His eyes focused in on Sally before he spoke. "Diagnostics complete. All systems reading 100% Standing by to commence mission, Agent Acorn." Sally nodded. "There's been some complications. The base seems to be active, and is exchanging fire with an airship of unknown origin. Additionally, there may be a Sol Emerald on site. Your objectives are to secure an exit route for Agent Shadow and neutralize all hostile forces you can while doing so, then help him ensure that the Emerald does not fall into hostile possession." She turned back to Nicole, "Nicole, contact HQ. We need an air strike, whatever they can put together on short notice that's fast enough to at least provide some cover against that airship as soon as possible." Meanwhile, there was a series of clanking noises as the diagnostic frame retracted from Silver Sonic and he dropped into a ready position, waiting for the craft to touch down.

"I hate to inform you," Metal Sonic leaped to the side, narrowly dodging the trident as it came whizzing past him. "but Eggman abandoned this facility a very long time ago." Using the same momentum, he snagged one of the death egg robot's crudely welded spikes and used it to swing himself up on top of the behemoth's shoulder. "Whatever you hope to accomplish here does nothing to serve the Empire." Sonic and Shadow hadn't been the only two to notice the energy signature as the metallix's eyes narrowed. He pointed accusingly at the trident. "The fact you have been withholding THAT from Eggman says a lot about how skewed your priorities are!"

"S-SIR! WE'VE BEEN HIT! Aft sheilds are at 20%, decks 8 through 16 are breached, engines are failing, casualty reports are coming in!" The flying fortress was in complete disarray. VX's eye twitched as he watched his legacy burned around him to a still unknown enemy. How he yearned for Dr. Fukurokovs council or at least his Son's attitude to at break the tension. Their was only one thing he could do at this point. "...full retreat.. FULL RETREAT!" cawwed VX. "Get us away from here, Lieutenant.. the ocean, flat land, a mountain range.. ANYWHERE BUT HERE!"

The robot screeched to a halt as the metal hedgehog used one of its own ornamental spikes to climb atop his shoulders, the eternally grinning head starting to spark and buzz. Not from a malfunction... Frustration, perhaps? "THIS TRIDENT... WAS A GIFT FROM OUR FATHER... HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF TRAITOROUS INTENT WHEN YOU YOURSELF SEEM TO BE OUT OF THE LOOP, METAL SONIC." The shoulders of the machine were starting to spark as well, as it appeared the entirety of the Death Egg Robot's upperbody was beginning to shake violently. Without warning, the rockets on its back fired on at full blast, and the two of them immediately shot up towards the crumbling ceiling of the chamber -- the apparent intent being to smash Metal Sonic into the iron platings above. --- In the skies, the attack onto the battle fortress appeared to be going well, with more units flying up to their target and spreading out all around to cover every inch with as much energy blasts as they could muster. However, while most of the attack robots shot out towards the airborne vessel, a pack of about six Egg Flappers seemed to take notice of something else, their formation swiveling around in mid-air to face yet another oncoming threat. Taking in the coordinates of the latest arrival, the Flappers recalibrated their flight configurations before immediately shooting through the skies towards the G.U.N. vehicle that was attempting to make a landing in their territory, mounted laser cannons at the ready to blast when within range. --- Before Sonic could do something to start working on distracting the Death Egg Robot, the metallic giant shot up like a literal rocket with Metal Sonic hanging onto its back. He sternly tap-tap'd Shadow's shoulder while pointing up after them. "Uh.. you got rocket shoes, right? Do.. do the thing. Go up. Fly? Maybe?"

Well this was turning into a complete mess. What was supposed to be a simple retrieval mission had devolved into a full scale battle and now he was tasked with obtaining the Sol emerald with Metal and Sonic around. The ebony chimera dove to the side to avoid being hit by the thrashing Death Egg robot. His hand ignited in yellow energy, ready to launch a Chaos Spear at the thrusters on its back, hoping to ground it when the huge robot lifted off with Metal, slamming into the ceiling. Wonderful. If they made it to the surface they risk being blown to bits by the bombardment and the Sol emerald would be lost. Though Shadow kept his eyes locked on the robots, waiting for an opportunity, his attention was irritatingly dragged away by the tapping on his shoulder. “I can’t fly, you idiot.” He sighed. “The most I can do with these is hover.” He folded his arms, drumming his fingers along his arm as he pondered their options. “You’re the one who wanted to fight that thing head on anyway. You can run up walls so what’s stopping you?” He asked as a slight chuckle escaped him. He was still staring at those back thrusters, if they could take them out the robot would no doubt be unable to sustain itself in the air...Then he got an idea. “I can launch you.” Shadow stated, more as a foregone decision than a possible idea. “Curl into a ball.”

Alarms blared from the cockpit as they detected the weapon locks from the incoming robots. "Agent Acorn, we have incoming!" came a frantic shout from one of the pilots. "Gonna be one of those days..." Sally muttered to herself. She rushed over to the hatch controls and slapped the open button with her palm. "No time to land. Go now, you'll have to cover us until we can get clear!" she told Silver Sonic. "Acknowledged, defense protocols engaged." There was a loud whine as his engines spooled up before roaring to life. He leapt from the copter even as it began ascending again in order to take evasive maneuvers. Upon making a landing on the street below, he immediately began scanning for incoming enemies, quickly spotting the approaching bots and marking them in his HUD. Units identified, Egg Flappers, six targets. Targets beyond effective weapons range. Close distance. Taking off like a shot, the robot headed towards the nearest building, leaping towards it and hitting the wall feet first. Then with a burst of his main engine, accelerated up the side, flipping forward onto the roof as he cleared the edge, then turned and headed towards the approaching Flappers. He sped along, leaping to other rooftops as needed, getting as close as he could just before the Flappers started dropping below roof level as they made their attack run on the transport. However, before they could open fire, he blasted into the air, curling into a spin-dash that slammed into the first flapper, then with precisely timed rocket bursts, proceeded to homing attack his way through the remaining ones before making a crouching landing on another rooftop. "Agent Acorn, immediate targets eliminated. You should be clear."

Metal Sonic glanced up as soon as he'd realized what the much larger machine was up to. Chirping a few binary curse words, he dropped down, allowing himself to fall back toward the floor. "A gift?!" Metal sounded incredulous. "Are you malfunctioning or are you simply that much of a delusional renegade?!" the metallix glanced over toward Sonic and Shadow. He needed to get ahold of that Sol Emerald, and getting it with those two around was more of a headache than he cared to deal with. Then an idea struck. He placed a hand on his hip and waggled a finger with the other. "The only one out of loop here is you. Have you seen the disrepair this city is in? Our father would not entrust something as precious as an Emerald to a second-rate, washed up, badly programmed boss fight as you. The best thing you could do is give me that emerald so I can take it to its rightful owner. Or are you not robot enough to admit you are just a massive design flaw?!"

Albeit a little disappointed in the fact that Shadow's rocket shoes weren't actually rocket shoes, Sonic got the message loud and clear with his ally's instruction. He whipped out a thumbs up and immediately spun into a ball and readied his position, ready to do some damage at the first strike. -- The wanton destruction of their fellow pilots seemed to alert other nearby Flappers, and more and more began to diverge from their main course towards the battle fortress, now redirecting their paths toward the new intruders who apparently wiped out their mechanical brethren without a second thought. Rather than wait to get close enough to prevent similar mistakes of their fallen soldiers, a handful of Flappers began unleashing a salvo of energy beams as soon as they caught just a glimpse of their quarry from afar, with others spreading out in an attempt to flank from opposing sides. It was going to get a bit messy if more of the things started to show up. -- The mechanical giant slammed into the ceiling, but found that there was no Metal Sonic TO slam upon making contact with the surface. Shaking off the crumbling debris from its iron body, the death egg robot looked downwards towards his foe, the flow of electricity increasing in frequency as it sparked and emanated from various sides of its dome-shaped head. "THIS CITY IS IN DISREPAIR BECAUSE YOU LEFT US. FATHER LEFT ME IN CHARGE BECAUSE YOU LEFT US. THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.... IS ME... METAL SONIC. YOU ATTEMPTING TO STEAL WHAT IS THE RIGHTFUL PROPERTY OF THE NEGA EMPIRE--" Ffzzrlrt. "--GGMAN EMPIRE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. IT WILL BE SEEN AS ABSOLUTE TREASON, AND I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DISPOSE OF YOU..." The trident in its hand began to glow as the robot jabbed the points of its staff into Metal's general direction. Red electricity arced from the points as the glow continued to increase in brightness, the spherical end of the staff pulsating rapidly with a piercing light of its own. "YOU WILL LEAVE NOW." And without a second thought, the Death Egg Robot fired off a particularly large, incredibly blood red energy blast, that hurtled down towards Metal Sonic and the other intruders, clearly ready to explode upon first contact.

He had one shot at this. Once the robot was grounded he’d make a break for the Emerald and run. Sonic would want to continue fighting for fun, no doubt and Metal would be compelled to regain control of his creator’s base. Shadow however was under no such obligation. As per his orders, the Emerald was the priority even over the data he’d initially been sent in to collect. Metal seemed to be doing his job distracting the robotic behemoth and Sonic was…overly eager for this plan. Shadow scoffed. He didn’t know why he was surprised. He flashed the blue speedster a slight smile as he got into position, ready to make his move. And then the Death Egg Robot fired. The wall off crimson energy surged towards the hedgehogs. It was now or never. On impulse Shadow made his choice, winding his right leg back, clenching his teeth as he put his considerable strength behind the kick. A flash of yellow energy burst from the bottom of his skates as he impacted the spiky blue soccerball before him and sent it rocketing not at the robot itself but the wall behind him, praying Sonic got the idea and bounced behind the robot to go for the thrusters keeping it airborne. As soon as Sonic was in the air, Shadow dove to get out of the way however he suddenly felt a searing pain wash over his lower half as the blast hit him. The explosion echoes in his ears as Rings scattered everywhere. The black and red chimera was sent spinning through the air and crashing into a machine console, buckling the metal and causing sparks of electricity to fly into the air.

"Allow us to return the favor. Lieutenant, fire at will!"Now properly airborne again, the transport chopper swooped overhead, the tips of the plasma cannons mounted on its weapon pods glowing as they charged up for a moment before unleashing a pair of projectiles that sped through the air towards the next wave of bots before exploding in mid air, transforming into expanding spheres of destruction. "We'll provide air support until the airstrike gets here. Proceed on mission!""Affirmative." Based on the signal from Agent Shadow's communicator, he was located somewhere in the central section of the base, logically some sort of command center. With the chopper keeping the airborne opponents at bay for the moment, Silver rushed back down to street level, speeding off in the estimated direction of Shadow's location, ready to deal with any opponents along the way.

And opponents did Silver Sonic have to face - as he swooped down towards the ground level of the enormous Eggman facility, Egg Pawns and Hammers alike were there along the way to meet him, with the titanic machines readying their iron mallets in hand, and the lowly, but durable, Pawn soldiers preparing guns and arms aplenty for battle. Chances are, they stood no real chance against the inbound warrior, but Eggman as their witness, they were prepared to go down fighting and let the intruders feel the wrath of the Eggman Empire.Assuming they didn't get torn through like paper, of course. -- As soon as Shadow launched his spherical ally into the air, the blue blur understood just exactly what needed to happen. As natural as breathing, the hedgehog flew swiftly through the chamber's empty space, completely missing their mark entirely - of course, this wasn't the plan at all. There was another goal, one that would swiftly be realized within the next few seconds, assuming everything went to plan. Sonic prepared himself for impact, and upon colliding with the wall, he ricocheted off of the steely surface in an instant like some gigantic, wayward pinball, his orb-like form whizzing with a hi-pitch screech as it spun so rapidly that the very air surrounding it began to emanate a blue-tinged aura. The target was, of course, the heavy duty rockets keeping the Death Egg Robot afloat as he fired the beams from his trident. -- If the Robot could chuckle, it likely would have given it a try - his quarry was destabilized, and their attempt at fighting back had fallen short of their own expectations, the black and blue hedgehogs clearly missing their marks as they fired their one shot in a completely different direction. However, it did not matter, as his first blast struck true and sent the hybrid foe hurtling into an unused console on the other side of the room. Satisfied with his work, the gigantic robot began to charge another blast to finish the job. Until something deep inside began to grab his attention. Alerts began to pop up in his mechanical mind, with external imaging cropping up in front of his eyes - messages, warnings, about an incoming unidentified object, headed right for his position. As he swiveled his giant, dome-shaped head, he only had but a second to realize what exactly the plan of his enemies had been all along. They hadn't missed at all. -- With such ferocious speed, Sonic barreled right into the rockets mounted upon the back of their enemy, and with a resounding CLANK that reverberated off of the chamber walls with ear-piercing volume, the hedgehog hurtled himself straight up into the air, and unfurled in time to see the result of his handiwork. The rockets, having been dealt an unexpected blow, were irreversibly damaged, dented beyond recognition from the shot, and they began to spark and smoke at random until the entire pack itself simply exploded, and the Death Egg Robot, now without his precious mobility, started careening towards the ground floor once again, a metallic groaning emanating from deep within. But before he could get too far down, the hedgehog hadn't quite finished - curling back into his ball form, that blue glow returned as he used gravity to his advantage to spiral down wildly, quickly, at a velocity that was only befitting of someone like him as he got in just one more shot. That shot was a hard-hitting ricochet right off the top of the Robot's dome-shaped cranium, the hedgehog ping-ponging off of its surface at the right moment to leave a sizeable dent that. As he hurled himself off to the side, eventually landing back onto the floor in a steady, crouched position, the Death Egg Robot crashed into the floor, creating a sizeable crater into the steel tiling beneath him as he finally came to rest. -- The Robot's face, one lens now cracked from the previous blow, began to twitch as it swiveled, the machine trying to get its bearings once more. The trident had not left its hand in all of this, and at that point, it was slowly - but shakily - trying to aim the weapon at his enemies, to fire off just one more blow. ... Nothing happened. A single, robotic lens flashed, and eyed the weapon in its hand. The powerful glow had gone away, and it could find no energy source throughout the staff any longer. The lens shifted to the orb that had contained the Sol Emerald within. The orb had been smashed. The Emerald had been blasted out of the trident upon impact, and was simply lying on the ground several years away. Within a perfect distance between all three hedgehogs. Groaning again, the Death Egg Robot was starting to shakily return to its feet, to pull itself out of the gigantic crater in order to fight again. "I.... NNZNZNNEED..... THAT..... THAT EMERALD... FOR FATHER...." -- Before he knew what he was doing, Sonic was racing for that gem. Blaze needed it back, and who even knew what the stability of their dimension was with this thing hanging around all of a sudden?

At this point, the gigantic base was falling from the sky, spiraling towards the nearby Gigan Mountains, a flaming inferno engulfing the stern the ship, the huge holes from the missile impacts slowly growing in size. "ALL TROOPS PREPARE FOR EMERGENCY LANDING!" cawwed XV. The small avian soldiers fastened themselves into their seats, fear striking their faces as the battleship crashed into the side of the mountains. VX wasn't going down like this, his eye twitched under his glasses as the monitors and screens that surrounded him exploded in flashing red error messages. A small screen appeared to the side of the Battlelords perch. Transfer all available power to weapon systems? "Confirm. Kukku XV. 9-22-95" With that, all the remaining missile salvo launched into the air, aiming directly towards the base and anything still left standing on the ground.

Despite managing to get his shield up in time and attempting to dive away, Metal, having been the direct target of the blast, had had the unfortunate luck of getting caught in it and sent flying into a wall. Grumbling as a few errors popped up in his HUD, he shut them down and pulled himself back to his feet. That may not have been one of his best thought out plans. And that's when he saw it sitting there. A glimmering light in the dark. The Sol Emerald. Wasting not a second's thought, his turbine ignited and he dove toward it. JI6Z9vzr

The ringing in Shadow’s ears was drowned out by the smashing of the massive robot into the ground. He gripped either side of the crater his impact had made in the terminal he’d been thrown against and hauled himself up, hissing through clenched teeth as his body throbbed in pain. Tumbling forward and catching himself into a kneeling position, the black and red hedgehog shook his head, cradling it as he looked up. Sonic, the Robot and Metal and…the emerald! So much for snatching it in the commotion and running. This would end in some confrontation, he just knew it but his orders were clear. Shadow’s body became engulfed in yellow energy as be threw himself forward, a burst of speed launching him for the emerald laying between the three, the force of which caused the already broken terminal to shower sparks out into the room as he made his dive for the prize. 8ruy|CSO

Silver Sonic barely slowed down as he switched from vertical to horizontal, leaping off the side of the wall to the ground. As he rocketed towards the approaching eggbots, his HUD began assigning targets in priority of what would allow him to progress on his route to the command center the fastest. "Full combat mode engaged." Mechanisms engaged in his right forearm, causing panels and components to shift around. By the time he'd reached the first Egg Pawn, it had doubled in size to a fist shaped battering ram, which he swung forward, hitting the pawn's head hard enough to take its head off and send it flying into another pawn with a blaster, knocking it off balance before it could fire. He then spun around and dodged left, using his right arm to grab the lance of another pawn that had tried to charge him, and yanked it towards him. His left forearm shifted then, changing into a two pincer claw, which he stabbed deep into the pawn's round body, getting a good enough grip on it to drag it around to use it as a shield against a barrage of laser blasts. Discarding the fried husk, he threw it at the attacking bots, scattering them like bowling pins, he charged through, speeding away before they could regroup, curling into a spindash and blasting off in a spiked ball of destruction for anything in his way.
