Disclaimer: I do not own any portion of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise - SEGA does. I don't claim to own it, neither do I pirate it. The only part of this story I own are the following characters: Luster the Cat, Megan the Wolf, Jack the Cat, Entity, and Quill.
-------------
Last time, the military begun their attack on Doctor Eggman's base, it being a two-pronged assault from both sea and air.
Rouge the Bat, Topaz and the other G.U.N soldiers proceeded into the base, unnoticed, trying to find a way to the power room.
Tails the Fox, Amy Rose, Christopher Thorndyke and Frances found a Chaos Emerald in Tingalin Villa, among the cornfields. Their digging procedure was cut short by the arrival of Doctor Eggman and his robot, E-35 Funfun. They were all literally blown away.
Can Sonic get there in time, let alone will he able to even beat the thing? Find out, after the opening!

Gotta go fast,
Gotta go fast,
Gotta go faster, faster,
Faster, faster, f-f-faster.

Movin' at the speed of sound,
Quickest hedgehog around,
Got ourselves a situation,
Stuck in a new location.

Without any explanation,
No time for relaxation.

Don't, don't, don't

Don't blink, don't think,
So just go, go, go, go g-g-g-g-go go!

Sonic is on the run,
Sonic is number one,
Sonic's coming next,
So watch out for Sonic X

Gotta go fast (Sonic)
Gotta go fast (Sonic)

Gotta go faster, faster, faster-faster, faster,
Go-g-go-g-go go go go go!

Sonic X!

Gotta go fast,
Gotta go faster, faster, faster-faster
Sonic X!


"My citizens, the military's raid on Dr. Eggman's headquarters has gone underway. They will be battling fiercesomely to make sure he is no longer a threat to the world. Doctor Eggman must be stopped, now!" the Prime Minister added. More people had arrived under the television, to get a good perspective of the fight. Among the crowd was Danny.
When footage of the assault was shown, everyone was shocked, amazed, or otherwise stupified as they stared blankly at the giant screen above them. "That looks like a heavy-duty fight..." Danny commented, taking a deep breath.

Jets came in, narrowly avoiding all the rockets that zoomed by. In retaliation, one certain pilot opened up his plane's own rocket. Guess who this was?
Only Knuckles.
As soon as he was shot out the plane, the echidna rode the missile like a board of sorts, joyriding it until the end, when he jumped off and grabbed onto the tower. Climbing, Knuckles was clearly determined to find something.
Inside the spiriling, metallic hallways with a repeating floor pattern (seriously what is up with that), Rouge and Topaz' group of soldiers were halted. "Stop!" Rouge ordered. LIke good soldiers, they did what they were told.
"Why did we stop?" Topaz asked, rifle ready.
"Because, we're about to get a visit from Eggman's welcome wagon," Rouge answered. Her superior hearing ability allowed her to hear the footsteps of the oncoming robot frrom a mile away.
Her bat instincts were correct. A robot, an E-12 Behemoth to be exact, was in fact ready to guard the base. "Hmph. I'll take it!" Rouge exclaimed, bravely.
"Hey, get back!" Topaz cried, worried for the bat-soldier.
A fight of their lives, for their lives, was about to ensue.

Meanwhile, along with Mr. Stewart, said teacher was trying to resist the intense wind with his car's horsepower, but it just wasn't enough. "Chris is still out there. I must...I must...this is terrible..." he cried, worried for the student.
The X-Tornado, as a result of being launched up in the air, landed with a thump. And a couple of bumps and scratches on the sheen of the plane, but the fox himself was relatively okay. Funfun proceeded to stand right in front of them, planning to finish them off at close-range. "We just can't stay here forever!" Frances protested, getting up.
Stupid mistake. Because of this, she was sent flying. Lost to the wind...until Amy grabbed her arm, saving her. "Get down, and don't get up until it's safe!" Amy strongly advised, bringing the human down to Earth.
"Right, sorry," Frances apologised, grabbing on for dear life.
"I hope Tails is alright!" Amy wondered, also holding onto one of her sticks.
Speaking of the furry two-tailed fox otherwise known as Miles Prower, he was conked out as a result of the crash. Just as E-35 was going to crush the plane with one of it's metallic feet, Chris tried alerting the fox to the problem.
No good.
"That's right, Funfun! Show that furry urchin who's in charge!" Eggman rooted, still keeping cool in the Egg Mobile.
Tails was completely awake at this point, powerless to fend of the might of the opposing robot. Just what could he do?
In the nick of time, a blue blur passed by, completely unaffected by the wind. "Au revoir, Tails!" Eggman taunted, not noticing the hedgehog.
"Hey, Eggman. Bit windy today, isn't it?" Sonic mocked, folding his arms.
"S-Sonic?" Eggman stuttered. Just his luck.
The blue hedgehog grinned, taking down the robot with a powerful Spin Dash attack, eliminating Funfun and blasting Eggman off for good. "Funfun, shut down!" Eggman ordered.
No good. The scientist was gone with the wind. Soon after, E-35 halted it's windpower.
Tails jumped out of the X-Cylone in order to properly thank his best buddy. "You saved us..." Tails thanked. "Thanks, Sonic!"
"Yeah, yeah. Oh Tails, why're you out here?" Sonic asked, cutting the thanks short.
"That's because our Chaos Emerald picked up another one coming from here!" Tails explained. Quickly, he remembered something. "I almost forgot!"
Miles instantly darted for the wide circle that they all dug earlier, furiously digging away with his hands. "Easy, pal!" Sonic laughed.
But it wasn't all fun and games for any longer, as Funfun arose. "Hey, just let 'em have what they came for!" the blue speedster barked, trying to get the robot to go away. When the fan started up again, Sonic wasn't pleased. "Looks like I'll hafta knock the wind outta ya!"
Chris hopped into the X-Tornado, and pressed the button that opened the storage latch. "Sonic, quick, the ring!" he alerted, the ring flying into his friend's hand.
"Got it!" Sonic nodded, absorbing the ring's Chaos energy and Spin Dashing through Funfun, finishing it off once and for all.
Tails used his time wisely, by digging up the last section of mud, revealing the yellow Chaos Emerald. "I did it! The Chaos Emerald!" he exclaimed, happy that he managed to dig it up successfully.
"Oh Tails, you shouldn't have!"
The fox was confused. Where was the voice coming from? Was it left, or right? Up, or down? In all the confusion and scatterbrainness, the Chaos Emerald was stolen by a mysterious claw.
Doctor Eggman. He was back, obtaining what he came for. "He-he-he!" he laughed, zooming back to his base at super fast speeds. "No..." Tails cried, falling to his knees.
"Don't worry, buddy. Let's go get it back!" Sonic suggested, helping his friend in a time of woe.
"Get it...back? Okay!" Tails nodded, obviously agreeing with the idea.
"Alright!" Frances exclaimed, jumping into the back seat.
"Frances...actually, never mind," Chris said, taking the seat in front.
"I'm ready when you are, guys!" Amy asserted, popping into the second seat.
"Let's do it to it!" Tails joked, taking the helm of the hi-tech jet plane.
"Hey...!" Sonic grinned, sitting upon the plane itself. One quick transformation to the X-Tornado later, and everyone was officially ready to go crack some Eggman.
Speeding into the distance, the fight was about to get serious.

Rouge dodged a crushing blow from Behemoth, gaining it's attention. "Quickly, set the charge!" she ordered.
Topaz nodded, and proceeded to place the explosive onto the robot's leg. "Okay!" she replied, giving the okay. Literally. But not that literally. She then took a grand step back, activating the oncoming explosion, burying E-12 into the floor, and down a couple.
The two partners gave each other a high-five. It was truly a great effort.

Up above, in the control room, Decoe and Bocoe had been left in charge of defending the base. "Those soldiers have us outnumbered!" Decoe realised, facing facts.
"We need to formulate a new strategy quickly, before they destroy us!" Bocoe added, bringing forth a good idea. Suddenly, before either of them could compute that, the radar opened up, showing a new enemy was approaching. "An unidentified ship! Fire immediately!"
"Blast them!" Decoe exclaimed, his eyes turning a furious white. A ton of missiles were then launched at the all too literal U.F.O.
Unfortunately, that UFO was in fact Doctor Eggman, trying to return with the Chaos Emerald from earlier. "It's me, you scrapheads!" he retorted, frantically avoiding every single rocket. "The Prime Minister thinks he has me in his sights. Ha! Well, I hope he didn't prepare a victory speech, because I'm back in command!" The mad robotic engineer managed to avoid the last few, and enter the base from a secret passageway.

Back in Station Square, everyone was worried. "The attack on Eggman's base appears to be failing...wait, what's that?" Scarlet Garcia noticed, before spotting a certain plane. "A new aircraft is on the scene. Is it friend, or is it foe?" The camera zoomed in on the plane, revealing it to be...
"The X-Tornado!" Danny realised, instantly recognising the grand design of the jetplane. This sudden outburst gained a couple of questions and odd looks from the other people in the crowd that surrounded him. Even Elmer Johnson and Albert Butler had come to take a look at the ongoings of the fight.
"A strange figure is on the nose of the craft...no, it can't be...a hedgehog?" Scarlet wondered, the camera zooming in even futher, to fit the entirety of the blue creature on everyone at home's television screens.
"It's Sonic!" Danny noted, revealing the identity of the cool, azul hedgehog.
"Who is that dude?" someone asked.
"Yeah, what's his name again?" someone else added.
"His name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Danny, Elmer and Albert all answered at the same time.

Sonic was enjoying the thrill of the flight, the rise of the challenge from his rival. Clearly, the hedgehog will be the last known survivor; with Eggman stalking him through the night, with the eye of the hedgehog.
It was going down.

During the arrival of the X-Tornado, Rouge and her group came to a locked door. Behind them, was another E-12 Behemoth. "There's another?!" Topaz angered, having enough of this thing.
"Don't sweat, hon. Get the boys to the generator room; I'll handle this robot," Rouge stated.
Topaz nodded. "Alright guys, follow me!" she ordered, rushing off, leaving the bat to fight the bot.
However, that probably wasn't the greatest of ideas, as protecting the locked door was a group of E-13 Guardbots. All the G.U.N humans ducked, to prevent any deaths.
Rouge on the other hand was narrowly avoiding each and every attempt at her life, taunting it. Again, that wasn't such a good idea, being that she was distracted, leaving her off-guard and unprepared for capture. When in a fight, never get distracted. That will mean your death. Luckily, she broke out using a Screw Kick attack, breaking the claw and all.
Suddenly, an unexpected saviour arrived. He punched in through the wall, and started destroying the Guardbots like they were paper. Before the G.U.N soldiers knew it, all of them were destroyed.
"Wow, thank you!" Topaz thanked. "You're one of Sonic's friends, aren't you?"
"We're not friends," the Mobian stated, as if it were a common fact that everybody should know.
"But you do know him, don't you?" Topaz continued, trying to find out if this was someone to trust or not.
"Maybe," was all the response she got. "By the way, what are you and your crew trying to do here, anyway?"
"We're here to destroy Eggman's base. As a matter of fact, we were just on our way to the generator room to sabotage this fortress' power," Rouge explained, disguise on.
"Heh, there's no way you can do that. That room is impossible to get into," the Mobian refuted.
"We have to at least try," Topaz debated.
"You'll fail. Unless you have me along," the stranger stated. "I can't wait to see the look on Sonic's face when I get to play a massive part in Eggman's downfall and he misses out on all the fun. Can't wait to mess with his ego."
"Sounds like you've got an inferiority complex!" Rouge joked, shrugging.
"A what now?" he asked.
"Nothing," Rouge smiled, confirming her thoughts.
"Tell us, what's your name?" Topaz questioned. A name would be great for me, at least.
"Knuckles."

"You dolts! That was me! You're messing with the greatest scientific mind of the universe!" Eggman yelled at his two servants, taking the helm of the control room.
"Sorry doctor..." both silver and gold robots apologised.
"I'll wipe that smirk off Sonic's face!" Eggman asserted, determined to finish it all off. "I'm not holding back!" He pressed an assortment of buttons, each one setting off a mass of missiles emerging from the beach, all aimed at the X-Tornado.
"Hang on, everyone!" Tails said, gearing for the up and coming launch of the missiles.
Eggman had transformed the control seat into a hands-on handle based guide for aiming the missiles with greater accuracy. "The doctor's truly mad now!" Decoe noticed, as his creator aimed precisely at the X-Tornado, only for Tails to successfully evade each and every one.

"They're done for!" a random person claimed, having seen the closecalls the Tornado has just been through.
"No, they'll survive. Just watch," Danny reassured, having faith in his new friends' capabilities.

It truly seemed over for our heroes, as these missiles turned out to be the persistant kind; lock-on missiles. "They're coming back!" Amy noticed, concerned.
"Don't worry; watch this!" Tails replied, hatching a plan. I know foxes don't hatch, no need to look that up for me.
He turned the plane around so that it faced it's chasers, and then started to gun them down to simple explosions, saving each and everyone aboard it. "Yeah! Good work, buddy!" Sonic complimented. "That was pretty cool!"

That last sentence was caught on television. "Go Sonic!" Danny cheered, eventually making everyone else in the crowd cheer.

At the mansion, Luster had flicked over to the channel that was covering footage of the assault, also cheering. "Woo! Sonic, get 'em!"

Back on the fight, Tails made a circle of bullets, to mark where Sonic can breach the base. "Hey Sonic, that good?" he asked.
"Perfect!" the hedgehog replied, grinning and headbutting through the wall.
The true fight was about to begin, as Sonic sped through the seemingly endless hallways, until he found a door he'd like to burst through. Inside, somebody was waiting for him. "That's far enough. It was mere luck that brought you here - now, your lucky streak is over!" Eggman taunted, the massive door in front of Sonic opening, revealing a giant, humanoid robot, complete with arms, legs and a torso.
Eggman's Egg Mobile fit perfectly in the head area, similar to how it went down back in Mobius. "Ready, hedgehog?" Eggman asked, after taking control of E-18 Guerra-Hard.
"Ready, Dr. E!" Sonic replied.
This was it. The final showdown between Sonic and Doctor Eggman.
Begin.

During the beginnings of an epic battle, the G.U.N soldiers and Knuckles made their way to the generator room, setting up all the explosive charges they had on them. "The demolition charges are all set, ma'am," a random soldier reported.
"Good work!" Topaz answered. "Well Rouge, looks like we're ready to-hey, where'd you go?"
"I saw her go that way," Knuckles pointed, answering Topaz's worries.
Above the generator room, in the same place she battled Noizi, Rouge began her search for the cyan Chaos Emerald. Eggman must be keeping the emerald someplace else now. Great.
"Hey Rouge!" Topaz called from below.
"Yeah?" the bat responded, a whiff of disappointment cooked up in her tone.
"Get down here, we gotta go!" the adult woman answered, trying to tame the untameable.
"Go on ahead, I'll catch up!" Rouge followed up, unaware of the security camera that was watching her every move.
"We need you!" Topaz persuaded, clearly forgetting about a certain red echidna.
"There's something I need to take care of first!" Rouge finished, the camera catching every single moment.
"They appear to be working on opposite sides," Decoe noticed, looking through these happenings. "Are any of them working for us? Lock them all in until we can determine who they are."
"Good idea," Bocoe agreed, pressing the lockdown button for the two rooms.
This surprised Rouge. "Uh-oh, not good," she commented, having witnessed the triple lockdown between each door.
Topaz managed to climb up to this room somehow, trying to get a closer persuasion. "Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked, getting up safely.
"They locked us in, but not for long!" Rouge claimed, rapidly kicking the door that lay in front of her. Somehow, the others got up, including Knuckles.
"Leave it to me!" Knuckles barked, attempting to punch straight through. "Huh? I didn't even make a dent..." Not even punches linked in succession did anything.
"Is there time to defuse the charge?" Topaz instantly remembered, thinking of an idea. The bomb technician shook his head, making the woman fall to her knees in hopelessness. "Well, that's it. We're all...dead."
"Not just yet!" Knuckles debated. "I'm sure if we combine our power, this door will break like a simple boulder!"
"The echidna's right," Rouge agreed. They both turned to the door, and on the count of three, they started punching and kicking with all their might respectively.

As the fight raged on with Sonic and Eggman, the blue speedster narrowly avoided a punch from E-18, but then got kicked, hard, into the ceiling. Bouncing off, the robot kicked the hedgehog into the wall as he came down. "Ha-ha ha! He's crushed!" Eggman gloated, ready to end it.
"Not yet!" Sonic returned, jumping out of the wall and attempting to get in close.
"You never learn, Sonic!" Eggman grinned, making Guerilla-Hard grab his speedy opponent and slam him into the wall he came out from.
"I've gotten out of worse!" Sonic grunted, barely managing to survive.
"That may be true, but E-18 is the ultimate combat robot, because it has the ultimate power source! Two Chaos Emeralds!" Eggman explained, falling into the trap of revealling his downfall. "I've been looking forward to this, Sonic!" Before Eggy could crush Sonic any further, the phone rang. "Hello?"
"Sorry to bother you doctor, but we have a problem. A group of intruders have been locked in the generator room and we are unable to determine whose side they are on," Decoe answered, from the other end of the line.
Eggman turned on the miniture screen on his Egg Mobile, showing a picture of Knuckles attempting to break through the security door. "Knuckles? Those are our enemies you dumbot!" he yelled, furious at his servant's small robotic mind.
"Then we will eliminate them," Decoe asserted, without a tone of fear in his voice. Surprising.
"What are they doing in the generator room, anyway?" Eggman questioned, just thinking of said question.
"I am not certain, but they did say something about explosive charges," Decoe replied.
"WHAAAT?!"

Knuckles and Rouge were still busy punching and kicking their way through the door, actually leaving a mark this time. However, time was running out. "Five minutes left..." Topaz counted.

"This'll be a cinch!" Sonic said, pushing and speeding his way out of the looming, cold grasp. It took ounces and ounces of effort though, but there's nothing the true blue hero can't do.
"Run all you want, but I'll still pulverize you!" Eggman threatened, as Sonic sped around the room.
Guerilla-Hard tried to kick Sonic, but he jumped and landed on it's leg, quickly rushing up it. One Spin Jump later, the blue hedgehog shot straight through the innards of E-18, grabbing the yellow and cyan Chaos Emeralds from inside it. "No, bring them back!" Eggman cried, after finding out what his nemesis did.
"Take this, Eggface!" Sonic yelled, utillising the power of the emeralds to increase his own. He used this power to tear through E-18 multiple times, at faster than light speeds, effectively ending the fight.
It was all over. Sonic beat Eggman once again.

Flying outside, the super-charged hero started to rip through the tower, destroying sectors upon sectors of technology.
In the generator room, all hope was lost. "There's barely any time left to get out..." Topaz worried.
"There's still time left, so there's still a way out of here!" Knuckles yelled, punching through the door with one last punch, making a small hole. "I did it!"
"Watch out!" Rouge warned, shoving the rad red out of the way, as a super-powered Sonic sped through the hole and bouncing into the ceiling.
"Show-off..." Knuckles grunted. "Get off."
"No, you follow my orders. I'm the one leading this operation, so you'll follow what I say!" Rouge returned, fighting off the persistant echidna.
"Yeah? Well following you is what got us stuck here in the first place!" Knuckles growled, making it clear that the bat was barking up the wrong tree.
"Shut up, the pair of you! There's no time for chit-chat, get moving!" Topaz shouted, the trio of them running through the circular hallways. Every G.U.N soldier plus the Mobians managed to make it out on time, but were engulfed by the light that ensued from the following explosion. It literally tore the tower apart.

Everyone was celebrating, including Danny, Luster, Cream, Cheese, and Chuck, the latter four of which were at the mansion, watching it on TV. "Do you think Sonic made it out of there okay?" Elmer asked the two on his right.

At the mansion, in the room above the garage, Cream, Cheese and Chuck were joined by the only one whose name did not begin with a 'C' in the entire garage area. "Did you see the TV?" Luster asked, bursting in.
"Yeah. That fireball's huge. I just hope Sonic and the others weren't stuck in there," Chuck answered.
"I bet we'll see him any second now!" Cream added, pointing to the small TV that they were using.
"Me too," Luster nodded, looking at the television.

Their suspicions were confirmed, as Sonic landed on the X-Tornado after a greulling battle, with two Chaos Emeralds in hand. "Alright, Sonic!" all four of them celebrated in unison.
Everyone else celebrated, as this was the picture shown on everyone in the nation's TV screen, murmured cheer among everyone.

Eggman was defeated.
