Computer: (Ping) Signal detected!

Tails's attention broke away from his machine's as his Miles electric alerted him.

Ever since taking up residence on Angel island, he'd build a home similar to his own on the land below, complete with a laboratory that used the master emerald as a power source.

He looked at the electric, seeing a signal radiating from the skies. He immediately knew who it was.

Tails: Eggman...

He grabbed the Miles electric and stuffed it into a backpack, slinging it over his shoulders and preparing some goggles on his head. Grabbing his weapons, he jumped into his newly modified Tornado and took flight.

One way or another, Sonic would be avenged.

...

Omega: Shadow, an airspace violation has been detected in the upper atmosphere.

Shadow came over as Omega projected a hologram, showing a red dot moving above the clouds.

Shadow: Eggman...

Omega: Dr Eggman has been located. Shall I inform a task force to mobilise and track him down?

Shadow shook his head, walking towards the hanger door.

Shadow: No, we can handle the doctor's schemes ourselves. Charge up Omega, it's about time the doctor was brought to Justice...

Omega morphed his arm into a mini-gun ready to fire.

Omega: Logic accepted.

...

Eggman floated through the sky in his egg mobile, a captured tank of forest critters attached to the bottom by a chain as they screamed to be let free.

The doctor's humming of his own theme tune was interrupted when he heard the whooshing of jet engines.

Eggman: Huh?

He snapped his fingers, Cubot immediately handing him a telescope as he gazed into the clouds.

The through the puffy white of the sky, The Tornado burst through as Tails locked onto Eggman's craft.

Eggman: Hohoho! Everything's going just as I planned! Now to reel in this fish and leave him out to dry!

Cubot: I think a fishing metaphor shouldn't be used in the sky.

Eggman thwacked Cubot in the head before hitting his boosters. Tails pursued relentlessly as he tried to speed after the egg mobile.

Tails: Get back here Eggman!

Eggman: Not a chance Fox boy! I must say though, I'm pretty sure Sonic would be impressed by your flying skills! That is if he weren't a pile of ashes in the grass! Hahaha!

Tails had bloodlust in his eyes, flipping a switch on his steering wheel as two twin turrets appeared on the biplane's wings.

Eggman shrieked as he was bombarded by laser turret fire, needing to put up a protective dome to shield himself. The animal container also took a few hits, beginning to break off from its chain.

From another cloud nearby, Omega flew out as Shadow clung to his back. His thrusters were being pushed to their limits in order to catch up to Robotnik.
