Sonic Apocalypse

Chapter 62 - The Cleansing of Mobius

With Eggman's traces unknown and his cybernetic goons still parading throughout the planet, the Alliance had but two more tasks to complete before they could officially declare the war as a victory. Sonic brought Shadow, Silver, Blaze and Tails to his hometown of Station Square. The intent was to find Tails' laboratory so that he could have access to whatever information regarding Eggman he had. If the lab wasn't destroyed, Tails could use said information to potentially pinpoint his location. There wasn't much anybody could do in finding Eggman with the way the world has been for nearly the past year, but Tails' lab could, emphasis on 'could', provide them with the necessary information they're searching for. Whether this endeavor would turn out being useful, or a complete waste of time is yet to be determined. Either way, it was worth a shot.

But nevertheless, the road between them and the lab would be a perilous one. Station Square was still one of the most overrun cities on the planet, mostly thanks to its abundance of citizens that could submit to the Empire and provide it with the labour that Eggman had wished for. Everyone used their trademark abilities as adequately as they could, allowing them to clear through the massive bloackade of androids whilst keeping their stamina at a moderate level. They were already exhausted enough as it is, over exertion would have detrimental effects.

"Silver! Help take Tails to his lab! The rest of us will keep these guys occupied!" Sonic had ordered with a great amount of authority.

"Yes, sir!" Silver complied with a humorously exaggerated salute.

Silver enabled his telekinesis to grab a hold of Tails and carry him up to the complex apartment where his lab was located. Sonic, Amy and Tails had lived in this massive apartment for a few years now and have named it the perfect, most luxurious place they've ever called home. After the two of them immediately noticed the amount of damage their home had taken, Silver calmy set Tails down, feeling empathetic for him. Tails quickly ran toward the location of his lab, hoping that it was in accessible condition, despite the fact that the opposite was very likely the case.

"I swear if you mother--" upon arrival, Tails examined his lab and his worst fears came true. It was completely, utterly trashed. What was once a gorgeous room filled with some impressively advanced equipment was reduced to rubble.

Tails was forced to view years of hard, pain staking work all gone to waste. Projects he had been ambitious about, projects he was never able to start, it was all but gone now. The more he quietly walked across fields of broken glass and hi-tech gadgets, the angrier he had become. Silver noticed this, so he hovered above the all of the broken glass to try and cheer Tails up in any way he could.

"Years of all that work, all of it was for nothing apparently." Tails began fidgeting with what was left of a machine part he was working on, picturing the beauty that could've came out of it.

"Well...do you still--"

"Silver...before you say anything, don't." Tails cut off Silver before he could enrage him even more. "Let's just regroup with Sonic, so I can teach these bastards a lesson."

"Do you want me to carry you again?" Silver asked Tails, who was now surveying the battlefield below from his balcony.

"Nah, I think I got an idea of my own."

Tails, without hesitation, leaped off of the balcony, with what would've been a hard landing being broke by an oh so unfortunate android. Tails stomped the aforementioned android into the concrete and quickly tore its weaponized arm off. With a new weapon in his hands, Tails blasted away at all the surrounding androids, much to Sonics surprise as well as his admiration. Doing all he could do before he was inevitability overwhelmed, Tails flew back to rendezvous with Sonic and the others, who were joined by Silver shortly after. But Tails wouldn't flee like a coward, for he had one more quick trick up his sleeve. He tossed the detatched arm like a javelin into a nearby tankers core, destroying it and causing a chain reaction that created a substantial explosion that had eliminated much of the forces occupying the vicinity.
