Marklin looked around the large space. “So... many of them.”
Gadget nodded, gulping a bit. But then, he took a deep breath, grabbed Marklin’s arm, and jumped, using his grapple to swing to the center of the enemies. Marklin gasped but held back a yell for obvious reason. Gadget landed, quickly holding his wispon in front of him.
“Wyhat=12!?4325” Marklin somehow said. Gadget silently fired his wispon, which happened to be a flamethrower. Marklin squealed, suddenly in his arms was a weird staff. Gadget glanced back curiously. Marklin looked at Gadget with a muted horror, he then gulped and took stance ready to fight. Gadget looked back, more focused on the fight than his curiosity.
Marklin charged a robot, and quickly smashed it. “Oh this is not bad.”
And so, the two went along, making sure to destroy the robots. Finally they made it to the ships.
“Alright, so we just go to space now?” Marklin asked, taking a second to breath.
Gadget nodded as Vector, Espio, Charmy, and a small team of soldiers arrived. Vector spoke first. “We managed to get the keys for this thing.”
“Then let’s hurry and save Sonic!” Charmy said impatiently.
“Alright.” Marklin gasped, straightening up a bit.
They made it into a ship, Vector driving, and they took off. In the ship, Espio started to go over the plan. “Vector, Charmy, and I will sneak into the main controls and turn off all security measures. Meanwhile, Gadget and Marklin will make their way to where Sonic is being held captive.” He handed Gadget a map. “Rouge told us where he is, so all you should have to do is follow this map and avoid enemy fire.”
“Oh that sounds simple.” Marklin blurted.
“If everything was as simple as it sounded, we wouldn’t be in war right now.” Espio sighed.
“Well then.” Marklin said, going back to himself and crossing his arms, closing himself off.
They approached the Death Egg. Charmy looked out the window in awe. “Wow! That thing’s huge!”
“I’m more worried about what’s going on inside it.” Espio said as they landed. “We have to act fast. According to Rouge, they’re going to banish him into space soon.”
“Well then, what are we waiting for?” Marklin snapped.
“Nothing!” Vector replied, opening the doors. “You two get going; we’ll find the controls.”
Gadget nodded enthusiastically and ran out. Marklin rolled his eyes and followed Gadget the best he could. Gadget looked around, marveling at the area. ‘I can’t believe I get to meet Sonic the Hedgehog!’ he signed excitedly.
‘Count your blessings.’ Marklin signed back.
Gadget looked at him curiously, and was going to sign back, but was interrupted by gunfire, to which he quickly shot back with his wispon. Marklin quickly started to beat at the robot’s with his new fancy staff. The lights started to flicker, and Gadget saw some security cameras turning off.
Marklin grunted as he worked on disabling the robot he was sparring. Gadget soon found himself surrounded by robots, his wispon dropped out of his reach. His ears flattened against his head as he started to cower a bit. He glanced to Marklin, but quickly decided that he wasn’t going to do much to help. Marklin finally noticed Gadget, and went to react, but-
A fast moving blue thing instantly smashed through all of them. It finally stopped, and it turned out to be a cockily grinning Sonic.
“You took your sweet time to join the plot you rat!” Marklin said as he finally snapped the head of the robot off.
“I’ve been in a cage for six months; I had no choice.” Sonic was quick to reply, grinning to Marklin. “Good to see you again.”
Gadget stared, amazed, as Sonic helped him to his feet, giving him his wispon.
“Yeah, whatever, let’s just get this mission over with.” Marklin barked, he walked over and got ready for whatever they needed to do now mentally.
Gadget pulled out his communicator. Knuckles’ voice was heard on the other side. “Did you find him?”
Gadget made a sound of affirmation. Sonic chuckled. “Knuckles! Good to hear from ya buddy!”
“Sonic!” Amy’s voice was heard. “Are you okay!? What did they do to you!?”
Sonic glanced away uncomfortably. “All that matters is that I’m fine, okay?”
“Alright; meet up with Team Chaotix at the ship and get back here.”
Gadget made another sound of affirmation before putting away the communicator.
“Alright, let’s go then, we don’t need to be in a vacuum of space longer than Aunt Cass needs to know.” Marklin stated.
Sonic chuckled. “Man, the whole gang’s back? This is awesome!”
Gadget gesture for the other two to follow as he started to run back to the ship. Sonic followed behind happily.
Marklin rolled his eyes, and puffed, following on. “You know this staff thing is heavy, it doesn’t even have like, a strap or anything.”
“I missed hearing you complain.” Sonic laughed as they ran into the ship.
“Did miss you’re idiocy a little, if I must admit.” Marklin snorted, smirking a small bit.
