Aylin and Chris were secured to the wall by a metal bracket. Decoe and Bocoe were pointing wrenches at them to make sure they wouldn't pull any stunts. Aylin glared at them angered that they did this to them. On the radar, Sonic is running ever closer.

Decoe: Dr. Eggman! Sonic is following us!

Chris: Sonic, hurry!

Aylin: Sonic!

Bocoe: He's gaining on us. We have to do something!

Eggman growls, pulling his hand away, Aylin looks on with a smile.

Eggman: Who cares about him? Especially when the seventh Chaos Emerald is waiting for me!

They soon arrived at the city dump where Lucky signals to the incoming Egg Fort ll where Lucky signals to the incoming Egg Fort ll.

Eggman: Ahhh... There's my little good luck charm! I just knew he'd bring back the Chaos Emerald!

He smirked

Bocoe: (Quietly) I am surprised he did not drop it.

Decoe: (Quietly) He sure is a klutz, isn't he?

Eggman: Hey... H-He's a bit clumsy...

A hand extends from the Egg Fort II to pick up Lucky

Eggman: I'd better grab that Emerald. Lucky... Come to Daddy...

However, Sonic arrives and smashes the hand, sending Lucky flying. Aylin widened her eyes and her eyes sparkled.

Sonic: Sorry, Pops, ya gotta be faster than that!

Aylin: ha!

Eggman: Gah! Why does that heinous hedgehog always have to ruin everything?!

Decoe: That is just our luck - bad!

Aylin: cause your villains that's why!

Lucky lands on a soft object

Eggman: But... But... my... my Emerald!

Sonic turns back to Eggman

Sonic: Heheh, don't worry. I'll keep it safe and sound for ya!

Chris: All right!

Aylin: go ahead!

Aylin smirked.

Eggman: Rrrgh, don't even think about it, Sonic! (Shouting) That Chaos Emerald is mine, d'ya hear me?! Mine!

But Lucky is already extending the Chaos Emerald to Sonic.

Decoe: He would not dare!

Bocoe: We must do something, Doctor!

Just as Sonic is about to take the Emerald, several robots arrive on the scene. Sonic avoids one that nearly hits him.

Sonic: Too bad. You just missed me. Nice try though, Doc!

Eggman turns to Decoe

Eggman: Was it your idea to send those robots?

Decoe: I do not get ideas, Doctor.

Eggman pats him on the head.

Eggman: Good boy.

Aylin cringed at the comment but noticed something. The G.U.N. Beetles close in.

Bocoe: Where are they coming from, Doctor?

Beetle Co-Pilot: Hang on. Sonic's in the line of fire.

Beetle Pilot: Sonic, this is an official government operation. Please stand aside. I repeat, stand aside. We are launching an attack.

Aylin eyes widened she and Chris were on the ship. Now they were going to explode with Eggman? This is not good. Sonic was in both shock and fear.

Sonic: Attack?! But my friend Chris is trapped inside there! and Aylin...........

Beetle Pilot: We can't waste time. Open fire!

The Beetles begin firing at the Egg Fort II, doing minimal damage. They don't seem to realize that Eggman is a advanced inventor and also not forgetting two innocent people who were kidnapped and trapped by Eggman, not to mention the ignorance of the people doing that to them. Have some common sense. Aylin and Chris were shocked. Eggman growled.

Eggman: Those fools! How dare they attack me!
