Gotta Go Fast (Sonic X Reader)

Chaos Blast: Part 5

The colorful group of anthropomorphic animals stood frozen in front of the huge battle mech, staring in shock at the (a/t) girl lying motionlessly inside the Egg Dragoon's newly converted containment cell.

First and foremost, Eggman has NEVER used innocent civilians as hostages. Usually, it would've been Amy or Cream as they were closer to the blue hedgehog and losing them was not an option. But how far was Eggman willing to go just to finally get rid of his nemesis once and for all?

Apparently, pretty far.

Secondly, how had Egghead been able to pick her up without anyone noticing? Surely her family would've noticed her absence. Plus, the Freedom Fighters had been keeping tabs on the madman ever since their last scuffle, just to be on the safe side. Sally had insisted on it.

"Well," Sonic chuckled, shaking off his initial shock. "She's a little too young for your tastes, Eggy. You're like what, forty?"

Eggman's face turned as red as a tomato. "Now see here, hedgehog," he snarled. "I advise that you stop your snarky little quips if you value this young girl's life."

Sonic rightly did so.

"Let her go, Eggman!" Tails demanded.

"Yeah! This is between you and me! I'll teach you to steal the Master Emerald!"

Everyone looked at Knuckles. Amy's grip on her hammer tightened marginally, but it was still noticeable.

"I-I mean us!" He quickly corrected himself. "This is between him and us."

Sonic rolled his eyes before turning back to the mech. "So what's your game, Egghead?"

"It's actually quite simple really. Today is the day I will finally conquer my lifelong enemy, Sonic the Hedgehog along with all of his friends!" He cackled. "Soon, the Eggman Empire will rise and my dreams of Eggmanland will be realized-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I asked for the plan, not your entire backstory." Sonic tapped his foot impatiently.

"Excuse me!?"

There was a collective chuckle from the group.

The doctor, on the other hand, snarled. "Today will be the day of reckoning! And all of you will be dirt under my feet."

Eggman pushed a button on the Egg Dragoon's dashboard as the heroes got into a battle stance.

Sonic smirked.

This was gonna be fun.

Another army of robots jumped out from the bushes, motobugs, caterkillers, Egg-bots alike, surrounding the Mobian heroes.

A growl was heard from Knuckles as he bashed his fists together, preparing for the oncoming battle.

Amy held her hammer high with pride, ready to pummel some robots into the ground. Who says a girl can't fight?

Tails kept a straight face, mentally readying himself for the standoff that was about to go down, his twin tails twitching anxiously.

Finally, Sonic narrowed his eyes, a smirk still displayed on his face, emerald orbs sparkling with excitement. In his opinion, it had been too long since their last run-in with the old' Egghead and he was just riveting with exhilaration. His quills bristled subtly, a red sneaker digging into the ground.

Back to back, the heroes stood, a prime example of Mobius' protectors.

It was finally time for some action.

Sonic curled into a ball, revving in place while sending up a cloud of dirt before blasting off, nothing but a blue blur.

The high-speed hedgehog spin-dashed into and Egg-bots, reducing it to nothing but scrap metal and releasing the little Flicky that had been trapped inside.
