On the outside of Eggman's fortress tower, a ventilation grille began to be pounded from the inside, until it finally detached from its frame and fell into the void. Following this, Cloud poked her head through the duct to make sure the path was clear of guards, but found herself at the cliff of a very dreadful fall.
Cloud (looking down) : Wow... Me not able to jump here. *sigh* And not more parachutes...
The girl then searched for a safe way to get down from the tower, but the only thing within her reach was a set of pipes leading down to the base of the building. A valid but dangerous escape route, as there was no way to hide if the guards ever showed up.
Cloud (looking at the pipes) : Huh... Have no choice but use pipes. Me go first.
Quickly, Cloud grabbed hold of the nearest pipe and began to cautiously descend down it. Then, her friends started to follow her.
Luckily, all the members of the Tempest tribe were trained in climbing from an early age, so none of them had any problems with heights.
Cloud (going down the pipe) : Be alert and protect children.
And as Cloud and her tribe descended down one side of the tower, in the front yard, the battle between the Great Nosferatu and the two Titans continued.
Nosferatu (fighting) : Fright Meteooors!!!
The echidna once again used his rain of punches on the robots and pushed them until they fell on top of each other, but these blows still failed to break their thick armor.
Nosferatu (in a combat pose) : Ooof... Those guys are tough.
On the other hand, Dr. Eggman was intently following the fight from the comfort of his command center, while holding a large bucket of popcorn with the Eggman Empire logo on it.
Dr. Eggman (eating popcorn) : It's only a matter of time before that mock of a hero gets crushed by my Titans. Then I'll put him and his speedy friend in stasis pods so I can study the source of his power. Hmhmhm... Those uniformed cretins thought their technology could stand up to mine, but their arrogance will be their doom. Hehehe...
The two Titans got back on their feet and attacked the warrior echidna with their huge hammers, but the Great Nosferatu was too fast for the heavy robots and managed to evade all their attacks.
Nosferatu (dodging hammer blows) : Ecli, open your eyes!... Wah!... I could use your help right now!
Despite the noise caused by the battle, Eclipse remained unconscious at the foot of the tower with no sign of waking up. In that moment, Cloud noticed the two huge robots fighting against her friend and also the echidna fallen in combat.
Cloud (holding the pipe) : *looking at the Titans* Oh... Those be huge junkeroids. *looking at Eclipse with concern* Oh no...
Suddenly, five Desperados appeared flying around the tower and fixed their attention on the hostages trying to escape.
Cloud (holding onto the pipe) : *Gasp*
Desperado 0 (flying) : Hehehe... Leaving so soon? But the party has just started!
The Desperados then opened fire on Cloud and her friends, who were forced to hide behind the pipes to protect themselves.
Computer (from Eggman's panel) : Doctor, I'm detecting damage to the tower's power conduits.
At that moment, the main computer displayed images of the Desperados attacking the escaped hostages.
Dr. Eggman (angrily) : What?! What are those useless toasters doing?!
