Sitting down on the floor, Sonic lay motionless in thought, Trying to figure out anything to help him.
Sonic: I still feel it, The connection to the virus- no. The hivemind, it is trying to pull me in back to the illusion.
Sonic constantly resists the calling as it tries to pull him back into the fake reality he was in before.
It has been a week since he helped the soldier fights back against the alloyans and throughout the week he has been constantly mimicking the emerald abilities.
His body which was rigid like a rusted cranky machine before now moves at the level of iron geared steam engine but still far from his former flexibility.
Sonic: My body seems to getting better but I can't understand why.. Ring force?
Silencing the voices again, Sonic tried to tap into his almost non existent ring force, he tried moving it around inside his body and bring out to the skin.
Then he felt it, A strange sense of refining, his body was adapting to the alloyan structure and slowly turning into a mix of metallic and organic structure.
Sonic: Well this is a relief, atleast I have a method now, should I try some exercising?
Getting on his feet, Sonic warps out of the shelter and made his way to the rooftops again.
Under the dazzling sunlight, He moved from building to building while pumping out his ring force through his body again and again.
During the first few times, it was so weak that it had no effect but as he used it again and again, the more the body transformed but the effect was extremely weak and recovery was very slow.
Even then, Sonic couldn't help but smile in joy, Even if it was minimal he felt the effect, the constant calling also seen to have gotten weaker.
Sonic: I can see it, a path, I hope I recover my taste buds soon as w- *got hit by a wave of wind* What now?
He turned to the side to see a giant airship comparable to his mothership back at treum flying alongside hundreds of smaller ships.
Sonic: A Convoy? or a transport ship? I guess I need to investigate a little. *Dashes back to his shelter*
Sonic went back to the shelter and took the sword he grabbed a week ago, stuffing his mouth with some bland ration he rushed towards the airship.
****
-The airship, Navigation room-
A bunch of people were on their seats as they align and control the ship's pathing, a silver furred hedgehog sat in his seat in the middle of the room.
Silver: Petro.Any sight of alloyan ambush yet?
Silver's assistant and manager Petro, a bald sparrow in a plated armor stood beside silver with a tablet and glass of water.
Petro: Nothing sire, we have seen no mov- *his earpiece beeped and a message was conveyed.* The detector just saw a blue alloyan with spiky features coming towards the ship.
Silver: Just one? Is he armed?
Petro: Only a katana model sword sir, one of the basic soldier models, it also seems to be attacking the slugs along the way.
Silver: Thats.. wierd, aren't the slugs supposed to be their meatshields or something?.. *ponders for a second* Get me a lift to the main deck.
Petro: *bows* Understood. *Turns and leaves*
Silver looks at the terminal in front of him and opened a security feed, he saw Sonic moving atop the building.
Suddenly he saw Sonic stop and leap down, he went into the building which was very self explanatory for silver.
The next second however, he saw another alloyan be thrown away from the building, following it a explosion happened and Sonic appeared on a nearby building.
Silver: Teleportation? And what was that explosion? *Taps on the terminal and starts a call* This is your captain, send a drone to the place of explosion.
Just when he was about to change to drone pov, Silver saw Sonic do something akin to gestures in sign language.
Silver: Is that.. *trying to understand* Move Dodge ambush ahead, fight?.. underground. *Stood up and turns to the navigators* EVERYONE, ACTIVATE COMBAT MODE.
Silver then turned around while grabbing his coat from his seat and left for the main deck, instead of taking a lift he just propelled himself with telekinesis.
Silver : I don't know who you are and how you know that but, that language was a part of freedom fighter training program. I hope my instinct are right.
*****
As he arrives on the main deck, Silver could see squads of soldiers running for their positions on the main deck.
The turrets being mained and the aircraft engines being ramped up, the service crew are completing their maintenance work at full force.
Silver: Open Gate 7, release model meteor.
His instructions were completed in a instant as a giant steel door was opened for his drop off.
Behind him, on something akin to automated trolley, a giant frame resembling a planet with multiple ring orbits and a hollow inside was brought.
Silver turned and entered the strange vehicle, the gate opened to reveal a circular platform for standing and a inside filled with screen that showed a full all angle view of outside.
The maintenance crew quickly arrived and fueled the frame and checked for any damage before giving it a thumbs up.
Silver's psychic powers throttled at full speed and the frame begins floating as all the rings orbiting around it spun at high speeds and aligned themselves.
The frame shot out of the gate at Silver's view inside shifted to the large ruined city below him, he extended his hand and a bunch of robotic giant arms followed up and begins floating beside the frame.
Silver: This is Captain Silver, deploy recon and scanner squads, activate the shields. It's an order.
Like a flock of sparrows, the smaller ships exited the mothership and flew towards the ground, the soldiers dismounted and quickly begin a through scan and search.
???: Just one explosion and our cover is already out, just which morons blew up the pylon?
Standing atop a floating pillar with energy radiating for its core, a heavily armored figure with a one headed hammer was sitting.
The figure looks down at the fleet flying beneath him as he tries to find what he was looking for.
???: Ah. There he is, my target *focuses on Silver* It's been two years since I got defeated and today. I will return the favour tenfold.
???: Etgon, You are one arrogant prick you know that? I hope you got the luck to defeat a general on you.
Etgon: SHUT UP SONOS, *points the hammer towards Sonos* You do your damn job and I do mine.
Sonos: You better move this hammer or i compress it into your chest.
The armored hunk of metal scoffs before putting hammer back on his shoulder, he looks down again and sees the shield of the mothership power up.
Etgon: Our cover is blown.. You deal with the orders.
After saying his words, the armored alloyan leaped down from the pillar, his weight accelerating his speed as he free falls down.
Silver: Something is wrong, my gut is telling me to do something but i can't understand what.. *chills move down his spine from a wave of bloodlust* ABOVE?
The robotic arms quickly come forth and braces as the giant alloyan hit them from high above, The recoil pushed down Silver's frame as the figure hovers in mid air for a moment.
Etgon: WE MEET AGAIN HEDGEHOG, TODAY IS THE DAY YOU DIE.
Silver: 'this guy? I remember shredding him to pieces. I guess I would do it again.'
The telekinesis power soars the frame towards Etgon and Silver hit him with the robot arm.
Pulling the enemy closer, Silver clasps both the robot arms together and propelled them straight on the armored hunk's head. Following up with strong punch from the metal frame, Etgon was sent crashing down towards the ground.
Silver: That's not all, Pressure.
Accelerating Etgon's speed with telekinesis, the figure hit the ground like a meteor, shattering the ground to bits.
Etgon: HHAHAHAHA *Laughs manically while getting up* Now that was a good one, That ain't all you have got right? *Taunts silver*
Silver: Don't blame me then, I never show mercy for your bunch.
The buildings on ground begins uprooting from the ground crumbled to pieces, Etgon was buried in a mountain of rubble as the pieces hit him again and again.
High up in the air, Sonos looks down at the muscle head being beat up by silver, sighing out of disappointment he starts the pillar as a beam of light connects to the ground.
One by one similar light soared from nine pylons hidden throughout the city as a dome was created in the sky.
Silver suddenly felt his telekinesis grow weaker to the point the frame fell, ejecting himself from the it, silver looks at the green dome formed up above and around him.
Silver: A trap. *Gritting his teeth* I should have understood sooner.. this is gonna be a problem.
Etgon's hammer shot towards silver but slowed down and stopped right in front of him, Silver looks at the smiling face of the Cowardly fighter with disgust as threw the hammer far away.
Etgon: Come on now, that was my only hammer.
Silver: Then you should have kept it close, I doubt this dome plan was yours with that undeveloped brain of yours. Muscle head scrap pile.
Etgon: Still acting tough? You haven't changed as well, annoying silver fly.
Forming a shield of fast wind around himself, silver flew towards the ground. He landed with grace and looked at his enemy right in front of him.
With a madman's smile, the Ironclad Goliath charges at Silver like a madbull, Silver leaned to the side as he grabs Etgon's hand and flipped him upside like a judo throw.
The giant Goliath quickly regains his footing swings his arm wide like a hammer only for it to be deflected and hit the ground instead, silver closes the distance.
Coating his fist with a layer of rock from nearby rubble, Silver hit Etgon straight in the chest making him go flying into a nearby building but still not dealing any effective damage.
Silver: Just give up and die, You could never defeat me even with all this planning.
Etgon: Oh? *Points his thumb to the side* What about him then?
Silver barely dodged a sword strike as something flew past him at blurry speed, the new figure arrived at Etgon's side with his hammer in hand and passes it to him.
???: You messed my ambush you brick head.
Etgon: What's the fun in that? I would rather take my time playing with him before we end this.
???: Idiotic as always. i ain't got time for playing around *gives silver a sideeye* So I am gonna go serious.
Resolving himself for a tough battle, Silver looked at the shiny alloyan incased in armor with a pair of jetpack wings on it's back.
The newcomer propelled himself towards silver with a sword swinging, reflecting the sword to the side silver grabbed the airborne enemy by the neck and slammed it into the ground.
Letting go of the enemy, Silver retreats as he dodges a hammer swing and quickly attacked back with a spike of rubble, a stone spike formed under the giant sending it flying upwards.
The other foe however quickly changed it's approach and begins firing bullets and lazers and silver who took cover in a building behind him.
As silver weaved through the attacks, A third figure arrived from the shadows and slashes at him with a katar, leaving a cut across silver's arm.
At this time, Etgon came crashing through the walls and delivered a hammer strike to Silver's back, sending him flying as a ragdoll.
Etgon: STRIKE, somebody count my points for me.
Silver flipped in mid air and landed on his feet, his body dragging across the ground with pain ramaging through it.
He anticipated more enemies but didn't expect such teamwork from someone like Etgon and regretted it, he watches as the three enemies come closer at him when his eye caught a glimpse of something below behind him.
Silver: Another one? Now this is-
???: you are surrounded hedgehog, Relent to your fate.
Just when Silver was resolving for a pincer attack, the blue figure however didn't hit his barrier and circled around and hit the enemy flying with a spin kick.
Silence, nor the airborne shooter nor the tanky giant had any idea of what was going on, A alloyan had hit their third ally flying instead of pincer attacking their target.
Silver: YOU. Who are you?
Sonic didn't speak but gave him a few gestures in sign language, Ally help fight were the words and Silver understood.
Etgon: When did we have a defective garbage like you? *Comes in swinging* DIE.
Sonic dodges the downward swing and leaped onto Etgon's arm, running across he left a cut across the eye and kept moving towards the figure in the back
As Etgon roared in pain, Silver followed up and delivered a uppercut with a rocky fist, using the moment of stagger silver took the hammer from the giant's grasp and sent it flying towards the third enemy with katars.
Silver's hand grabbed onto the giant's helmet and sent the wave of telekinesis through it, slamming Etgon face first into the ground while himself followed behind Sonic.
Weaving through the storm of bullets coming his way, Sonic went full speed towards the airborne foe.
warping forward behind the enemy, Sonic spun and cut off one of the jet wings and before the figure could stabilize himself, Sonic stopped time for a split second and impales the figure straight through the torso and retreated.
Silver came dashing in and pinned the figure to the ground and ripped it into pieces with telekinesis, he lifted the sword and sent it towards Sonic who caught it and stood side by side him.
Silver: You look similar to someone I know just more serious.
Sonic: S.er... 'This damned rigid voice muscles'.
Cursing the inability of Low alloyans to speak, Sonic gestures for silver to fight first while pointing at the sky.
Focusing towards the sky, Silver saw a pillar with a green pulsing center acting as the center of the dome.
Silver: What about these two?
Sonic gave no answer and just started running towards the enemies while raising a thumbs up.
Something told silver to trust him, so he left for the pillar while Sonic went to confront the duo himself.
