[\\-{Sonic The Hedgehog: Flightless Hope}-//]

Amari was completely off put by the plasma beams. She formed a small barrier over herself, thinking it was artillery fire.

Brego pursued after Tornado who was flying towards the tanks. It looked over it's shoulder, quickly re-scanning Brego. Once it was clear he was being pursued, it turned it's body round and flew backwards so it could see what he was doing.
"Who are you?!" Brego shouted, very gradually getting closer.

The hooded figure with blue fur leaped off the energy dome and slammed into the roof, then he shot a large energy beam down at Dex. He was somehow sticking to the roof of the energy dome again.

The hooded figure with black fur grinned as he walked over to Moe, who was unconcious, "That was easy" He said. He then crouched down next to Moe's unconcious body and started searching around for something in his pocket.

The hooded figure with red fur crouched down next to Mattias' unconcious body and started searching for something in his pocket.

The plasma beams that slammed down into the domes left bright white spots, and even cracked the domes. The white spots on the domes turned back to purple and the cracks dissappeared, though. The domes were regenerating themselves.

(These people aren't to be taken lightly. Both Mattias and Moe have been defeated with little to no difficulty. Infact, with all three of them teaming up, they could probably even beat Sauron)

Dan and Vlad ran away from the sky-high battles. Dan could hear something going over their heads and as he looked up he could see Brego flying after Tornado.
"Hey look, there he is!" Dan pointed. Vlad looked up, but didn't think of helping yet. Another few shots fired right at Tornado, who dodged them with ease. A mere millisecond later, Tornado had thrusted toward Brego, punching him down to the earth with force. "Oh crap!" Both of them were ready to catch him, but from his speed they were both knocked off their feet from the impact into the ground. Brego was still conscious, but he didn't see Tornado shooting down toward him with speed.

"GAH!" I fired my own beam up at him.

Dax

"Hmm." I concentrated all the beams onto the dome Dex was in.

The hooded figure with blue fur and Dex got into an energy battle. The hooded figure's energy beam started getting closer to Dex.

The hooded figure with black fur pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into one of Moe's veins in his left arm. The hooded figure drew some blood from Moe's arm, then put the syringe back into his pocket.

The hooded figure with red fur pulled a syringe out of his pocket and lifted up the sleeve of Mattias' jacket on his left arm, then stabbed a syringe into one of the veins in Mattias' left arm. The hooded figure drew some blood, then put the syringe back into his pocket. He then grinned as he stood up and walked back into the hospital, heading to Heart's room.

The energy beams caused more bright white spots on the dome that lasted a bit longer then the last ones, and they also cracked the dome, and even made a couple of holes in the dome the size of a Mobian's hand. But the dome just regenerated itself again.

Brego just managed to roll to the side as Tornado's fist made a thundering punch into the earth. Using his wings, he jumped back up and tried a reverse kick on Tornado who blocked it, but as Tornado tried to return a punch with his other hand to Brego's back, he fired a shot from Valor at the robot's head that interrupted him. Brego spun back round and, with Honor slightly charged, released a few quick shots that forced Tornado to dodge them.

Meanwhile, the M.R.A counter attack was going well. Only one fighter was lost, but Doom Storm had already lost more than 20 gunships. The Ogre units were getting closer, one of which was slowing down because it had suffered three shots to the now exposed core in the torso.

Far away in an abandoned research base in the middle of a snowstorm...

A red echidna, Aidan, was trying to broadcast a signal using the telecommunications array. It wasn't working, nor was he getting any response.
"Just give up for now, Aid... *yawn* we'll try another time." Scizo called out to him, sat against a wall nearby. Aidan sighed, turning round.
"We've been stuck here for ages. How will we get out if this snow keeps piling up?" Aidan's only response was. He noticed Torrok running out from one side of the walkway, turning to sprint towards them. His centre optic was yellow/orange.
"Something's trying to breach the entrance." He warned them. Aidan and Scizo looked at each other, then back at Torrok. Scizo stood up, Aidan having already zipped off using his speed. She ran to the reinforced entrance door with Torrok, seeing that something there was a small heated spot that was very gradually growing in size.
"It's trying to melt it's way through!" Scizo exclaimed. Again, Aidan shot back off out of the room, a second later returning with a worried look.
"There's something trying to break in through one of the walls too! It's stopping us from getting out from the other side!" He shouted. Scizo thought hard... her luck she had so many times was running out, so if she tried fighting them herself, it would probably be her last fight.
"Torrok, you stay here and wait until this thing comes through. When it does, try luring it to the other side of the building." Scizo said, pointing to the door they were stood by. "Aidan and I will try fighting off the other thing, and from there it will be a 3 vs 2."
"Or a 3 v 1 v 1." Aidan said. Scizo gave him a look, then ran off. "Good luck, Toks!" Aidan called out to Torrok, the nickname he had given him, before dashing out of the room.

(And also...)

Fourty different M.R.A soldiers were in a large dugout, guarding a key point that lead to their only holding outpost not far from the sea and were taking cover from Doom Storm troop fire. One of the soldiers looked over, seeing several light tanks, a light mecha and a two medium drop ships approaching from behind the dugout line of D.S troops, w He saw a grenade that was fired obliterate several M.R.A troops.
"There's too many of them!" The soldier shouted. Another soldier looked at him, but as he poked his head over his face was shot through by a sniper. The dead soldier fell back into the muddy puddle. However, there was the sound of a couple of explosions near where they were. The same soldier looked over, seeing two light tanks had been destroyed. He turned to see what was firing, gladly surprised to see some Shells, one or two monster trucks, two Loaders packed with supplies, two Demius tanks, a Thunder tank, but what was the most pleasing to see was the Skullbatross.
"Ha ha! Let's see those Dip Stick punks try and take our territory now!" He shouted. Thanks to all the extra support and firepower, the Doom Storm troops were beginning to climb out of the dugout and retreat. The drop ship had tried deploying a turret, but was shot down by the Thunder tank and the Skullbatross.

===

The general on Mobius was angered to find out that their own forces were pushed back by a single wave of M.R.A troops.
"Get double the firepower in there! No, TRIPLE!" He yelled into the intercom. He knew how vital that single outpost was, and he didn't want to upset Gabe.

I raised my other hand and fired a long silve stream at the figure.


Dax

"GAH it's not working.." I turned into my stone form.

The hooded figure with blue fur grinned as he got an idea. He chucked what almost looked like a dark energy grenade at the silver stream.

The hooded figure with black fur grinned, "As long as I'm here..." He said as he pulled out a vial with a purple liquid in it out of his pocket. "... Might as well have some fun" He said as he pulled out the cork on the top then opened Moe's mouth, dumping the liquid in. He grinned, then just dropped the glass vial on the ground and heard it shatter. "Time to get out of here..." He said as the energy dome around him started to dissappear, then he teleported out of sight.

About a minute after the hooded figure with red fur went inside the hospital, he teleported away, his mission already complete.

Brego went to throw a punch, which Tornado quickly countered with a punch to the gut, knocking the wind out of him as he dropped his weapons. He fell back, supporting himself on one knee. As he tried looking back up, Tornado grasped his hair firmly and pulled him up off his feet. As Brego did his best to get the robot off, it didn't work. It slowly pulled it's fist back, about to deliver the finishing blow.

The stream engulfed the object and stopped in the air.

I moved rolling to my left and then fired three metal orbs at the figure.

(Welcome back Dex. How was the holiday?)

A few gunshots came from nearby, almost shooting both Tornado and Brego, who spun him round and caused him to get shot in the back. It threw him back down on the ground with force, knocking him out. A few M.R.A soldiers were running in, guns blazing.

Amari ran outside to see the current situation, knowing she couldn't do anything else about the others fighting. She watched as an Ogre.80's foot was literally above Amari. Just before it came down, a loud, high-pitched noise echoed around the entire place, within seconds after a blur shot directly through the head of the Ogre with a shockwave erupting out of the other end as it slowly fell back, causing the whole ground to shake from the impact. She knew that it must have been the Rolling Rampager.

(Nice but it was to hot there. Got sunburnt on my neck :c)

(Welcome back, Dex!)

The hooded figure with blue fur shot three dark energy spheres at the metal orbs, he then jumped onto the roof of the dome and threw down what looked like a dark energy grenade next to Dex. The grenade slammed into the ground and exploded, but it didn't make an explosion with fire, it made an explosion with dark ooze. The dark ooze splattered all over the dome, even on the hooded figure, making it stronger. The dark ooze started to climb up Dex's ankles.

Moe's body started to shake a little, then a little more and a dark purple aurora started to surround him.

"Not this again!" I growled then began to chnage into my stronger form. Half Light Dark and the middle metal.

(Is Dex ever even in his normal form? XD)

The hooded figure with blue fur grinned as he watched the dark ooze keep climbing up Dex's body, now up to his waist. This time, their would be nowhere for Dex to run, nowhere for him to hide.

"Guuuhhhhhhh... Uggghhhhhhh... AGHHHHHHHH!!!" Moe groaned in pain. The aurora was almost black now, impossible to see through, and impossible to see what was happening to Moe.

(BTW, don't worry, the action hog is almost done lol)

The other Ogre unit was firing at most of the M.R.A units, but eventually most of the fire was concentrated on it and it was destroyed within a minute. The jets had rapidly reduced the amount of DS gunships with all of the drop ships being destroyed in mid-air, any last second deployments they had tried to make were unsuccessful.

Tornado quickly sprinted toward Brego once he had taken the shots. As Brego tried throwing a surprise punch, it was avoided, he tried following up with another one, that was blocked, he tried headbutting it but Tornado leant back, wrapping his free arm around Brego's neck as he spun his body round, then slammed Brego onto the floor with a near bone-crunching force. He knew what situation he was in, luckily pushing himself back up and to the side as Tornado did a modified heel kick that forced it's heel more than five inches through the earth.

Back with Scizo and Aidan, they were busy retreating from Prozon Mk. II after the previous room they had fought in had suffered far too much damage for them to be able to continue in.
"How's Torrok doing?" Scizo asked, running alongside Aidan. He waved his hand signalling a "so-so", but when she saw the action, it was like two brothers fighting it out. Torrok's look-alike was out-performing him in several factors, yet he was still managing to hold it in. She looked over her shoulder to see Prozon shoulder barge through a wall near the door they had tried to lock, turning to the group and grabbing his vulcan cannon that was being held up to his side by a robotic arm attached to his back.
"Uh oh." Scizo dived to the side using her superjumping skills as Aidan darted off to the other side, both of them avoiding the hail of bullets that engulfed Torrok and the other robot. They both diverted their attention to the gunfire, blocking as many shots as they could with their swords. Torrok appeared to be having a little trouble, but the other robot's increased speed made it look like a cakewalk. Both Scizo and Aidan opened fired on the other robot, but it easily avoided them by rolling to the side, even managing to curve a bullet's trajectory and divert it back at Scizo. Luckily it missed by a hair.

(Sometimes )

I smiled and watched it went up my body. "Get ready for something new.."

The hooded figure with blue fur grinned. The dark ooze was now up to Dex's shoulders.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Moe yelled in pain, there was a sound of a flicker, then a puff of dark purple smoke appeared where Moe's body was. When the smoke cleared, Moe was gone.

Brego turned round to try and kick Tornado in the back of the head, but it's speed gave it the advantage as it straight away spun round and roundhouse kicked Brego's temple. He did a full sideflip as he crashed onto his shoulder, his vision blurred, nor could he think properly because his head was spinning. All he could see now was Tornado walk up to him and stand there, but the red light on the top left side of it's face visor turned yellow. He could see it walk off to the side, leaving him. At least, so he thought.

By now, all of the gunships were down, focusing their attention on keeping any incoming enemy units away. They circled the base to confirm that the base was theirs and they controlled the skies.

"Just abit more.."

The hooded figure with blue fur grinned as he watched the dark ooze cover the last of Dex's body. He had a trick up his sleeve and he was ready to use it.

I smiled. "Well that worked well"

Brego was close to blanking out. He could see the same two feet walking in front of him, dragging his own sword behind. The only thoughts going through his head were his own death, seeming imminent as he could see the sword get lifted up and out of his sight.
