Mushroom Hill Zone

[Knuckles]

Knuckles stood his ground against the approaching pyro-bot. He crouched slightly and seemed to gather up energy. What he was about to do required it. As the bot approached close enough, the echidna propelled himself fist-first like a speeding drill. This also acted a a fan of some sort and kept the flames a safe distance away from his body. If the two were to collide, the thing would most likely reduce to scrap metal.

[Rampage]

Vanessa's attack sent the bot skidding across the ground with the shrill screech of scraping metal all along the way. Sparks pranged off the Swat-bot's head as it struck rocks. This one would certainly not be getting up afterwards. The remaining four bots on the other hand turned and fired at Vanessa, but the accuracy of their shots was up for grabs.

The Com-bot in the meantime was not letting up on Tancer. He kept pouring laser fire onto him and did not appear to have either noticed or care about the approaching cat.

A huge fireball erupted as Knuckles punched a hole clean through the Pyro-bot. Flaming fuel rained down upon hillside, adding more fuel to the already raging fires all around the heroes.

Rampage only had the split-second between when Whip launched Sonic into the air and when he leapt up and kicked him down to react to the oncoming attack, but he didn't need to move far. Hopping back a foot just as Sonic was launched, Rampage slammed his cybernetic arm into the ground, anchoring himself to the ground.

The result of the hop back meant he avoided a direct hit, though he was never in any direct danger anyway because of Sonic being aimed for his feet to begin with. Anchored to the ground as he was, the blast of air did nothing but cause his ears to ring, the rocks and dirt thrown up messed up his fur and left some stinging welts across his body but still nothing substantial. Even with the ground shuddering from the impact, by anchoring himself to the ground, Rampage was not thrown off balance too badly. The cloud of dust was fairly thick but the infrared mode of his cybernetic eye wasn't fooled for a second. While Sonic stood about admiring the view, Rampage 's robotic arm lunged out of the dust cloud, attempting to grab the unsuspecting Hedgehog by the throat.

[Vanessa Blue]

The blue cat flipped forward, still holding onto the bot. Using the momentum to sling the swatbot over towards her friend, the purple fox.

"Hey, Tancer, catch this!

Still in mid air she expended one her jumps to to try and get behind the combat robot. Her body cutting through the air with a spiral. The blue cat's legs and fore arms erupting in a blaze. The barrage from he swatbots earlier had given her alot of extra heat to work with.

[Tancer Fang]

Even though Tancer was being hammered against the floor by the chain laser gun. He could still make out Vanessa's boisterous yell. He raised one of his arms. The dead weight of bot would have dislocated or torn off most others arms, but Tancer managed to grip on to it.

The fox rose to a raised knee using the bot as a shield. Though he had to think fast. The robot was almost being "washed away" by the non stop lasers. He himself was bleeding greatly from it. A large chunk of his chest was just gone, luckily the lasers couldn't easily cut through his nearly solid iron breast plate. Also another good thing Tancer was a slow bleeder.

[Knuckles]

Knuckles landed perfectly in a slightly crouched position. He wa slightly dizzy from that last attack. He slowly rose while sighing deeply in releif. That bot had taken more out of him than he expected, but thankfully it was over. As he took a step forward, a sharp pain consumed a large portion of his left side. His hand instantly cupped the source. Looking down, he cuaght sight of a fairly sized burn. His one crimson fur was now a patch of blistering tan skin with charred edges.

"Dammit! I knew that last attack was risky." He cursed to himself. His violet eyes scanned the area as he pondered about where to go now.

[Sonic]

Sonic couldn’t see a thing, except blurry shadows from outside the cloud. But, it didn’t mean he couldn’t hear as his ear twitched. Just before Rampage could grab him from behind, Sonic did a back-flip to avoid his grasp. At the same time, he extended his leg out, attempting to kick Rampage in the back of the head.

[Rampage]

[Uh, just FYI Sonic, but when I picture someone doing a back-flip aware from someone, I imagine them going backwards relative to the opponent. So I'm not quite sure how you figure you could manage to get Rampage in the BACK of the head, so I'll just assume you're trying to clock him under the chin]

A handful of the remaining Swat-bot squad took notice of Knuckles and decided to turn their attention on him since Vanessa seemed to be intent on fighting the Com-bot.

The Com-bot in the meantime kept pouring on the pressure on the rapidly disintegrating Swat-bot husk. Luckily for Tancer, the mini-gun laser cannon at last ceased firing when it's automatic override activated it's cool-down cycle. Smoke billowed out of the laser cannons many barrels. But the Com-bot had plenty more tricks up its sleeve than just it's main weaponry. Raising its left arm, a tiny double barreled compartment popped open and the Com-bot fired off a barb with two long wires attached. The bards embedded themselves into the Swat-bot husk, but The Com-bot didn't need to hit Tancer himself as a surge of high voltage electricity lanced through attached wires. The charge would be sufficient enough to cause Tancer's muscles to convulse reflexively, leaving him clamped onto the Swat-Bot in a classic daisy chain effect. For now the Com-bot did not seem to notice or care that Vanessa just landed in behind it.

Sonic would certainly feel his foot clip the underside of Rampage's jaw. But it would be an odd sensation as the left side struck normal jaw bone while the right impacted the metal of his robotized lower jaw. The hit did next to nothing to slow Rampage down however. Even as Sonic was landing, Rampage shook off the light hit and poured laser fire into the shroud of dust settling around them. He couldn't clearly see what he was aiming at, but when you have a rapid-fire laser cannon like Rampage's aim is not altogether that important; and with all the motion the dust cloud was now cleared up enough to see.

[Whip the Rabbit]

With all the dust settling, the target of Rampage's poorly aimed laser-barrage was apparent. The still-orientating rabbit had a look of one who had been without sleep for weeks. He stumbled back one step, then another, before declaring,
"...Not...Again...This isn't over...."
His consciousness phased, his legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed eagle-spread across the floor in a dead drop.

[Tancer Fang]

Hearing the minigun stop. Tancer peaked out from his makeshift shield. "Oi it stop-ERK" his whole body was lit up when the electricity surged through his body. Due to his chest being injured, his strength was lopsided to one arm. Involuntarly he threw the bot while falling down.

[Vanessa Blue]

Vanessa tensed her whole body up behind the combot. Her for arms igniting in a great blaze as she formed her fist into tight balls. The blue cats body began to trembled as more flames began erupting from her.

"Here's my final BLOW DIE AAAGGHHH!!!"

A massive column of flames was forming behind the passionate cat. The inferno forming itself it a fist.
