Sonic Apocalypse

Chapter 9 - The Sacking of Central City

In an instant, close to a million androids were spread out across Mobius, with many more to come. The Chaos Emeralds helped make the horrifyingly fast production rate possible. Without them, it's possible that there wouldn't even be enough androids to take over a single city. But thanks to the Emeralds, Eggman and Starline could kick back and watch as the world falls victim to complete and total devastation from their relentless army. After all of the androids jumped through each of the eight portals that were open, 8 more portals were opened and more squads of androids jumped through, so on and so forth. The android invasion spread across Mobius like an incurable pandemic that swept the entire planet in an extremely short amount of time.

Shortly before Eggman's army was unleashed, Amy gathered her strongest allies and soldiers in order to fight back against a threat they knew nothing about. They didn't know what was coming nor when, but they soon would be caught completely off guard by an army more powerful than anything they've ever faced before. And with Sonic looking for Eggman on his own, the challenge would become even more difficult. Some would say impossible.

The gathering took place within Central City, one of the first locations to recieve blows from the Eggman Empire. Several recognisable heroes, such as Team Chaotix, the Babylon Rogue's, Silver, Blaze, Big the Cat, and among many other friends eager to make the planet a safer place all gathered to reform the Alliance with Amy and Tails. Knuckles, however, was still recovering from the injuries he sustained over at Angel Island.

Amy took the stand, took a deep breath and began to speak out to the crowd in front of her, "As you all know, I have called you all here to address something huge. We have just recieved word that Eggman has somehow broken out of Prison Island, and with the unfortunate circumstances that Knuckles was involved with, it has given us reason to believe that Eggman is undoubtedly planning something. We don't what it is, and we don't know when it's coming, but it's better to be prepared than to be blindsided, so we need to be ready to take on any threat that dare harms our planet. Any questions?"

Jet the Hawk raises his hand. "Yes Jet, what is it?" asked Amy.

"Where the hell is Sonic?"

"He has left to go find Eggman. Wherever he is."

"And he left us to fend for ourselves? We can't do this without him." yelled Jet.

"Sonic may be this planet's hero, and I'll admit, this'll be a whole lot tougher without him, but he had a team. And that team was us. We can all do this if we stick together and fight like hell until our last breath, just like we've done time and time again."

"I agree." said Tails who was standing right beside Amy, "Instead of dwelling on Sonic's absence, we need to do what he would want us to do, and that's fight to protect Mobius from that evil bastard, Eggman."

"And this time, Eggman will not survive." said Amy, "No matter how bad this upcoming war will get, I know if we try our best to fight back, this will be the last war we ever fight. And that's a fact. Now, who's with me?"

The crowd cheered.

"I said, who's with me?!"

The crowd erupted with explosive cheers. The whole crowd went wild as Amy and Tails walked off.

"Sonic was right," said Tails, "you really do have incredible leadership skills."

"I'm flattered," Amy blushed, "but it wasn't just me up there after all, you were pretty inspirational too. And you were correct, Sonic would want nothing more than for us to defend Mobius while he is away. But there's still one thing that's been bothering me all day."

"It's the fact that we don't know what's gonna happen isn't it?" asked Tails.

"Exactly." replied Amy. "After what happened to poor Knuckles and how Eggman mysteriously escaped, this whole thing is going to be completely unpredictable. This isn't like our other several wars with Eggman, there's obviously some sort of power or device that Eggman came into contact with. There's no way in hell he could've just escaped without something like that."
