Egg Flag Ship

[Decoe and Bocoe]

[From Battle of Soleanna]

Being the last ones on the transport; Decoe and Bocoe were the first to step off into the massive hanger. Getting out of the way of the swarms of robots coming out of the transport, Decoe and Bocoe eyed the hanger in awe. Decoe promptly whistled, and despite the noise going around he could still hear his whistle’s echo loud and clear.

“This place is HUGE!” Bocoe exclaimed first, with wide eyes.

“Yeah! This hanger looks like it could fit the Egg Fort 2 perfectly! Whether it’s in three pieces or whole!” Decoe replied second.

“This Eggman-sama is truly great!!” Bokkun replied third with a twinkle in his eye, as he hovered around the area Decoe and Bocoe were standing in for a while.

Bokkuns reply, though sent Decoe and Bocoe into a bit of a depressed state. Both there awed looks seemed to darken as they looked at eachother in deep thought. Sighing, Decoe was the first to talk.

“Yeah…But what happened to OUR Eggman-sama?”

Bocoe looked up, resting his right hand on his chin. “Oye, he must be somewhere around here. After all, he was around us when that Chaos controlled happened….”

Gasping in excitement, Bokkun flew down in front of the two, with a huge smile on his face.

“Does that mean we’ll have TWO Great Eggman-samas!!”

Almost in unison, Decoe and Bocoe’s eyes dulled as they stared at Bokkun.

“That would be like having two Sonics!” Bocoe started, “It’d be overkill as well as annoying.”

“Not to mention we’d have two over egotistical geniuses to deal with.” Decoe chimed in with an aside.

The little Messenger Robo looked at the two androids with a deathly look, as Decoe and Bocoe ignored it; Bocoe placing his hands behind his head and Decoe getting his last yo-yo out and playing with it on his right hand.

[Dr. Robotnik]

[Sonic, if you'd like to try fighting with Robotnik while hanging from his Egg pod, let me know.]

Robotnik's own voice boomed out over the loudspeaker in the Egg Carrier's hangar bay. "Attention Egg Carrier! I am incoming now! I need covering fire right away!" On a nearby radar screen, the three robots would see a big Robotnik icon moving towards the Egg Carrier's profile.

---

Robotnik growled and shook his head as he flew back towards the Egg Carrier. He felt very much ashamed of himself and humiliated as he flew back.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why didn't I just stay in the Egg Carrier? I have enough forces to handle the Freedom Fighters. But no...I had to be stupid and go after that...that...hedgehog when he came back. I know it's dumb...but I just can't help it. I can build giant cities and fleets and robots but I can't handle one little grudge? Why? It's so frustrating...

The Egg Carrier was in sight now, but Robotnik was only in his little Egg Pod at the moment. He had no weapons, which meant if someone attacked him he'd be quite defenseless. Robotnik just hoped he'd get some SWATpods over here fast so they could cover him...

[Decoe and Bocoe]

As soon as the three of them heard the incoming message, they all headed over to the nearest computer consol. Decoe though, would be the only one to start typing onto the system.

“Ah, Right away Dr. Eggman-sama!” Decoe replied, as he turned on the microphone on the consol briefly for the Doctor to hear his reply.“Sounds like you’re up, Bocoe!”

Bocoe blinked for a second and looked at Decoe in confusion.“Me? What can I do?”

Turning towards him with a slightly angry expression, Decoe replied “Didn’t Doctor Eggman–sama give you a piloting program?”

Bocoe looked up more towards the left as though he was thinking about the question. But it wasn’t long before he had an answer,“Yes, but that’s with airplanes and jets. I don’t think vehicles like Dr. Eggman’s count.”

Decoe seemed to huff at his answer. “Well, whatever.” He began, in anger, “Sending out SWATpods now!” With a few taps of the keys, Decoe issued the order to send out five SWATpods out on the double to protect the doctor.

[Sonic]

[From Battle of Soleanna]

Watching as the Egg pod flying closer to the humongous Egg Ship, Sonic couldn’t help but feel a little weary about his current position. Not so much about the fact that he was hanging onto the Egg Pod, but more of what they were flying over. The ocean depths looked beautiful even when it was clouded; but man, he’d hate to fall off into it. One bad move and he’d be sinking with the fishies. And that thought didn’t give him much confidence.

"Attention Egg Carrier! I am incoming now! I need covering fire right away!"

“Ah, Right away Dr. Eggman-sama!”

Now that was a problem, and Sonic knew it. But, he could just take the worst and make it better for his own liking. He had planned on waiting for the Doc to get back to the carrier before making himself known; but the Doc was already forcing his hand. With a smirk, he began to slowly swing; making sure that he didn’t move the entire Eggpod and make his presence known. Once he felt like he had enough force behind him, he quickly back-flipped; landing on the upper, right side rim of the Eggpod. His landing was light enough that it wouldn’t tip the rim, as he landed in a crouched postion; his arms resting on his legs. With a wide opened smile, he looked over to the left at the Doctor.

“’Sup, Doc?” he began with a large grin planted on his face and a cocky tone in his voice, “I didn’t to do much back there. Mind tellin’ me why your party was so lame?”

[Dr. Robotnik]

Dr. Robotnik's look was priceless, when he saw the hedgehog had stowed away. Thinking about it, he supposed he shouldn't be surprised, but it caught him off guard all the same.

But as Robotnik considered the situation, he realized he wasn't so bad off. He left his radio on, so that everyone on the Egg Carrier would clearly hear. With the small grin, he spoke with the self-assured voice of someone in control. "Sonic...did you think this plan all the way through? You don't know how to fly my Egg Pod, so what happens after you decide to knock me out or something? Plus, now your friends can't shoot at us, or they might hit you. Not to mention..."

Robotnik suddenly jerked the yoke sideways. The Egg Pod promptly tilted upside down and went into a steep dive towards the ocean below.

"...I'M THE ONE WITH THE SEATBELT!"

[Sonic]

[I'm skipping Decoe and Bocoe for now until they can really do something. ]

As soon as the blue blur felt the Eggpod tip, he used all fours-with the help of his super-sonic legs- to quickly crawl on the sides before now, making it to the topside of the Eggpod. He whistled at the close call, putting his clutched fists on his side.

“No, really Eggman?” Sonic began, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “I just thought you stayed in there by using all your fat in such a tight space to stay upside.”

Pauseing more to himself, to let the insult sink in, he continued onto something else. “I’m also quite flattered that you care so much about me, Eggman. I don’t need to worry about my friends shooting at me....” Pause, for the dramtic affect of course, “ ..But I think you need to worry about your –own- little buddies shooting at –you.-”

[Tails]

Tails enters the scene in his Tornado. He sees a blue spec on the pod and it can only mean one thing. Sonic.

He sighs. "I guess I'll help Sonic from falling, there's really nothing else I can do other than attack the pod." He clicks a few buttons on his Tornado and the weapons disengage.

He manuevers the air plane underneath Robotnik and switches the plane to auto sustain. He gets out of the plane and gets onto the tail of his plane. "You won't escape this time Robotnik..."

[Dr. Robotnik]

Robotnik laughed at Sonic's insult.

"Who's worried about who now, hedgehog?"

Realizing that simple acrobatics weren't going to get rid of Sonic (he was a professional at hanging onto that Tornado anyway), Robotnik righted the Egg Pod. They were now hovering above the ocean surface by a good distance. A large red blip came up on the radar. Robotnik turned around and saw Tails coming in behind him. Tutting, he resumed his course for the Egg Carrier, while speaking into his radio.

"SWATpods, make your way to me, but hold your fire for the moment. One of you hold far back and slow down."

The five SWATpods began to move into formation to surround the Egg Pod and the Tornado. As requested, one of them held back. No shots were fired.

"Sonic, in all seriousness, you've only caused a stalemate here. No one can attack anyone until one of us is off this Egg Pod. So, what's it going to be? You going to go with Tails? He looks like he misses you after all, and I know you consider each other family..." The doctor gave a little chuckle. "I will say I do have an idea for how to resolve this situation peacefully. Want to hear it?"

[Sonic]

When the Doc righted the Egg pod, he quickly ran in the direction it was turning and appeared safely on the large mans side.

“I don’t know Doc,”he started off, with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. “I doubt I can trust whatever you have to say. I ain’t like Knucklehead, ya’know?”Of course, Sonic knew he did. After all, the Doctor was the one who always lied to him anyways. But he had to admit, he was beginning to feel a bit antsy. An Egg pod was no place for his speediness. “You can tell me what you have in mind, but that doesn’t mean I’ll listen. After all, a stalemate’s not so bad. And I’m a patient guy.”

Sonic slightly smirked at the last statement. The Doc knew him well enough to know he wasn’t. In fact, he had already began to tap is left foot; showing that he was beginning to get tired of standing still.

[Tails]

CT23: Tails, I wouldn't advise being that far back on the airplane. Please return to the flight deck, its too dangerous.

Tails jumps back into the flight deck and switches off auto sustain and closes his throttle to low ignition. It sits there for a little bit and he checks around the perimeter to see if he's in any danger. He sees swat bots all over the place in all directions, but he knew the robots wouldn't fire as long as he stayed in this vicinity.

Tails keeps his eyes on the egg pod and where he's going throughout the flight.
