"Oh yes Sonic, I will marry you" the cheerful female voice said as the ring put on her finger.

Both hedgehogs hugged each other with the audience cheering off screen during the ceremony and both hedgehogs give each other a Sweet passionate kiss to the lips.

Not that it's important anyway, right?

"A wonderful end that wraps up today's Ceremony, our worlds hero has just propose to Amy Rose whose agreed to take his hand in marriage"

The screen switch to another channel log showing a blue hedgehog and a pink hedgehog on some kind of talk show, plus they're holding each other hand.

They go on some kind of long boring talk about there history, dealing with some kind of mad scientist whose bent on ruling the world after he was able too for only half a year and that didn't work out due to several mistakes made in the final days of the war.

'But that's not a problem anymore'

The screen goes to another channel logged.

"Sonic you've defeated Eggman yet again, how does it feel to be a hero"

The camera view went to the blue hedgehog giving off his usual trademark grin with a thumbs up.

"It's pretty easy plus fun too, wish Eggman can bring me a real challenge but with the wedding coming up I'm gonna have too turn him in to the authorities soon"

"It's been a month since you last saw him, do you think he's got something big planned?"

"Even if he does, I'll be ready for him like always"

"Do you think your wedding is threaten?"

"I think it's an overkill that G.U.N will wanna add extra security for just a simple wedding but hey Amy pleaded for the wedding to be broadcast live and I just want her to have the best time of her life"

Click!!!!

The screen turns off as a robotic blue hedgehog got up from the chair and left the room walking down the hallway.

"The more the merrier, at last the time has come too enact my revenge against my loathesome copy, with all loose ends tied up and taken care of I can proceed with my plans"

Entering another room he saw many Egg Pawns at work giving orders over the radio or checking and triple checking the consoles showing holographic screens displaying data and schematics of sorts that looked military.

Even the Egg Pawns themselves were military as well not supporting the red titanium armor plating but the white ones from the war awhile back, a war that ended in complete failure due too overconfidence and incompetence.

"Lord Metal on deck" one of the egg pawns shouted

They all stop what they're doing and salute their one True Lord and Master. He nods his head while proceeding over to the observation window.

"At Ease"

They go back to work making sure everything is ready for their Masters plan. They're loyal he'll give them that, programmed to serve him and his 'inner circle' only.

One of the many design flaws that his predecessor did to there personality was give them feelings. Such a waste amount of time of having to reprogram them back to their original design but it had to be done for his plans to become reality.

Reaching the window he notice snow falling from the sky into the mountain range valley below. This is where his Base of Operations will be at from now on, away from human and mobian eyes in the harshest regions of the planet. No military satellites to find them on radar as it goes without saying....okay he couldn't up with a saying but it's hidden pretty well so credit should be given to him.

An entire heavily fortified underground complex hidden well within the mountains. No way people would dare venture out here since the weather is harsh, freezing temperatures in the minus and deadly obstacles to pass. It's a suicide mission to even venture here.

"And everyone of us has built in temperature to keep us from freezing up here, another minor detail that time had to be wasted on but's worth it in the end"

He nods in approval and started to speak out.

"Unit 31895, how goes the reconstruction of the oil ocean refinery?"

"Ninety-Nine percent complete sir, we should have it up and running in a couple days"

"Good keep me posted, Unit 187 how's the reconstruction of my predecessors Death Egg?"

"Ninty-Nine percent complete, everything is on schedule and will be up and running by tomorrow"

More good news is what he liked to hear, getting that battle station fully operational and running is vital to his plans. Every since he lost to his loathsome copy five years ago he entrusted his secret vital plans, operations, schematics and projects to his 'Inner Circle' before his defeat and during his five year long absent as a loyal and obedient enforcer to his creator, his 'Inner Circle' has proven there loyalty and trust to him by delivering.

"Thank you, keep me posted"

Placing his trust into his 'Inner Circle' had been a huge gamble, but in the end it became reality and soon the world will see a new empire rise from the ashes.

Placing a metal claw on the window his audio sensors picked up footsteps approach him from behind.

"Tell me, is everything nearly ready for the attack...how much longer must this operation be delayed"

"Ships are loading up the last of the troops, just another hour and we'll be ready to begin the attack"

Air came out of the filters from the sound of breathing and he scratch the window leaving a long mark embedded in it before turning around to face a yellow robotic two-tail fox looking at him.

"Today will be the day MT, that fate will secure our victory and the start of a new empire rising out from the ashes"

Crossing his arms MT looks at his leader tilting his head "you sure your secret weapons will neutralize the hedgehog ability to 'cheat'"

"Besides from the 'Super Destroyer' amongst many other projects, this secret weapon will be the key to securing 'our' victory"

"It's been tested many times in the field and results show promising but taking it to where the Master Emerald and seven Chaos Emeralds will be in the same place for this special 'wedding', we're taking a huge gamble on this"

Metal nods his head seeing MT concern but field tests have shown promising results so the advantage will be on his side this time.

"Prepare yourself Sonic, today the day your wedding will be crush 'Forever'"

-In the hanger-

She fumbles with the weapon in her hand but it slips out of her grasp and her boot kick a nearby weapon container out in frustration, just how could one Crystal be so hard to deal with. And just why did this weapon design had to look so familiar like her old one.

She grits her teeth and picks up her weapon examining it to see if nothing broken.

Nothing was and it looked completely fine. Sighing she reach into a small pouch from her pocket and takes a small cyan crystal gem out, placing it into the final slot of her weapon.

"Finally, done"

Getting up from the box she turn around and points the weapon to get a better aim. Syncing the aim to her 'Scope' Mask, her line of sight became perfect to snipe enemies from faraway for the upcoming battle.

"There, all set, time to go"

Getting up from the crate, she grabs a duffel bag and begins to proceed up into the ramp of the massive airship dock in the underground hanger. Such a sight to behold.

-In the Hallway-

The Ominous sound could be heard echoing in the hall next to the sound of footsteps. Putting his last glove on and adjusting it correct he makes his way to the hanger.

Soon, very soon the world will face true fear once again. Payback was at hand no heroes was going to stop them this time as the careful planning had been done in secret.

"Today is the day, we'll be launch our 'First Strike' against Mobius and not even G.U.N or the United Federations will stand against 'Our' might"

He never thought that he would be teaming up with one of the doctors creations. Gotta give the robotic hedgehog credit thought, he never thought that Metal hedgehog could plan something so far in advance.

Doors slide open and he enters with ease, pushing the button that leads to the hanger. The elevator doors close and he cross his arms waiting for the elevator to reach the hanger level.

"Shadow, you and I have an old Score to settle, if Metal intel is spot on I'll gladly make you suffer just like how you made me suffer"

He grips his right arm before adjusting his mask that cover up his entire head and vision with only a left eye showing along with the white hair tentacles sticking out.

A couple minutes pass and the doors open up revealing the glorious massive hanger that house many ships and in the direct middle is a humungous battleship/airship directly within the hanger.

"The flagship, the heart of Metal fleet where did he take the time to gather such materials to build a massive warship"

The airship indeed was very huge and triangular shape with dark blue titanium steel which would make it very impossible to destroy. It also had Ten built in hangers too, five on the right and five on the left. Amongst other things that Metal has yet to tell him. Hopefully it will help them win the upcoming battle.

Another set of elevators slide open and the Jackal looks over to see Metal and MT walk out into the hanger before they proceed over to the massive warship with the Jackal following them.

"Is the cloaking field install and ready to go?" Metal asked MT nearing the ramp and looking over his shoulder to the Jackal following them.

He nods his head at him who nods back before looking forward.

"It's all ready to go Metal, after thousands of checks and many rechecks there are no minor errors to mess it up" MT reported

A sigh came out of the ventilators of relief. Perfect very perfect. With a major piece install into his Warship their enemies won't know they're coming.

"Getting that install was such a major headache"

"And the shield generators added to the ships within the fleet"

"All check, accounted for and install onto each battleship" MT said pushing a few buttons with his robotic claw on a datapad he's carrying in one hand.

"Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Finally, with that major headache install we will be unstoppable"

Such victory will be within his grasp and today will be the day they're enemies fall before a new empire.

"The Doctor 'was' such an idiot to store vital technology away in vaults, just to focus on conquering the world and destroy such a blue nuisance that keeps getting in the way of progress, now I'll finish what he couldn't"

The three of them enter the belly of the ship with the ramp going up and an alarm sounding throughout the base. It's time to begin the operation. Today is the day Victory will theirs.

-in the command room-

Metal, MT, the Jackal and a mask mobian wolf, with Biscotti and cloudy white fur, enter the command room of the ship. More Egg Pawns were at work as everything had to be in perfect order for the military operation to be a success.

As the Jackal and Mask Wolf stop halfway in the room, Metal and MT proceeded over to the observation window.

"Unit 3190, is everything all ready to go?" MT asked the nearby Egg pawn soldier.

"Yes sir, we are green across the board, all ships are loaded, online and ready to move on your order Lord Metal"

"Thank you, at last the time as come, Fire up the Engines, get this warship and all other battleships up into the air" Metal order

The command room got all noisy and busy per there Masters instructions. Time to launch the operation.

The Masked Jackal cross his arms feeling the movement of the airship beginning to move as the mask wolf looks at the mask Jackal.

"How are you feeling about this Infinite?" She ask in a quiet voice for him to hear her.

"Ready for payback lass," The Mask Jackal named Infinite looks over at the female wolf that had a ponytail hair style, along with her scope mask covering up her face

She rubs the back of her head feeling the movement of the ship beginning to rise. What could she feel anyway, just so many thoughts running through her head.

"I see, well...good luck" she said quietly looking away from him.

"Same too you Lass"
