Sans, Sonic, and Ruby looks up at the large machine that is trapping their friends.

Needless to say, all 3 of them are not to happy with what they're seeing. The fact that Eggman had trapped them inside of this machine is just terrible. And now...now they are going to have to go through all of the trouble just to bust them. Needless to say, Sans needs some help. He pressed on his earpiece, and spoke out to Yang and Atla.

"Yang...Atla. Forget about knuckles. Eggman is here, and he is holding our some of our friends captive. We need your help to free them all!"

Needless to say, Yang was not to happy that her friend are now trapped by the one called Dr. Eggman.

"Are you serious?! Damn it!! Fine, I'll come!! Atla, we're moving!!!"

"Agreed."

Atla said on her end, as Sans than hears Knuckles on the other end.

"Get back here!! I'm not done with you both yet!!"

Presumably, he saying this because Yang and Alta are running away. Sans sighed, before looking up at the robot, which now began to attack.

It raised its fist up, and tried to attack the 3 speedsters.

"Scatter!!!"

Sans shouted, as He, Sonic, and Ruby sped out of the way. Ruby than turns around, and, still using Petal Burst, rushed at the robot, and attempted to strike with Crescent Rose. The problem is, Sans' friends aren't the only one with an upgrade.

As soon as Ruby tried to strike at the robot, it suddenly opened its arm, and a shield made of Hardlight came out air blocked Crescent Rose. Sans snarled, as he spoke out.

"Ah, Hell...so it is true. James Ironwood is now working with Eggman without realizing his true intentions."

Sonic, who heard that, lands on the ground, and spoke out.

"Is the Hardlight really tough to break?"

Sans nodded his head.

"Unfortunately. In fact, I have never seen anyone break it before. It only breaks when it is used as a weapon, and that's it. As a shield? I don't know how we can break it, if we can, that is, Sonic."

Sonic than cracked his hands, as he spoke out to Sans.

"Than I guess we'll find out, won't we?"

Sans nodded, as he than took a stance, and as soon as Ruby was forced to jump back, both her, Sans, and Sonic than ran full speed at the robot, and began to strike at it was much as it could. It fired a bunch of bullets from its torso. But Ruby and Sonic quickly evade them, while Sans had to made a Crystal shield in order to defend against the bullets. Sans than leapt up into the air, and attempted to attack the robot, but it defended with the Hardlight shield, and Sans was forced back. Sonic, on the other hand, attacked it from behind, and was able to land a very successful hit, causing it to stumble forward a bit, before turning around and attempted to fire explosive bullets at Sonic with the use of Explosive Dust from Atlas. Clearly, Eggman's machines are now more tougher than they were before, as they are now coming the technology between both Atlas and Eggman. But that will not be a problem for Sonic, as he is going to keep on fighting against Eggman and his machines, no matter what happens. He'll stop at nothing to put it down, just as he did, many times before in the past. After all, it will be no different when back at his home-world, Mobius.

He leapt in the air, and attempted to use his holing attack at the robot, it it than activated the Hardlight Shield and blocked Sonic. Much to Sonic's annoyance, he tried to break through the Hardlight Dust Shield, but it did not work. It still remaining strong, regardless of what type of damage that Sonic is doing. Sans than noticed something, he saw that one of the Parts of the Hardlight shield is vulnerable. That being the risen part of the shield that is letting it out. Sans than puts his fingers on his chin, and some out.

"Maybe...just maybe if I can be..."

He looks and sees that, the robot is ready to attack, as he jumped back and began to dodge the bullets as much as he could, to avoid getting shot. He than raised up from the ground, his wings spread, and he than summoned Abyss Shards in the air, before he fired at them at command, and the Abyss Shards rained down onto the shield. The robot lifted its arms and tried to defend against it. The Abyss Shards pierce the shield...but it did not damage it a bit. Eggman smiled, as he saw that it was working...or so he thought.

Suddenly...the shield begins to flicker, and than...it suddenly shut itself off.

"What?! How did this happen?!"

Eggman shouted, as he looked at the robot to see what went wrong, only to see that one of the Abgss Shards is lodged into the mechanism that brought the Hardlight Shield out. And it was sparking, before exploding.

BOOM!!!!

"What?! How is that possible?!"

Eggman shouted out at the top of his lungs, unable to believe what had just happened. As Sans landed on the ground to see what it is that went wrong, Sonic went next to Sans and spoke out.

"Yo, dude! What did you do to the robot?"

Sans looked and spoke out.

"Apparently, in the center, there was an exposed weak spot where the mechanism that is letting the shield out was vulnerable. Maybe that's why it's so difficult."

Ruby smiled, as they not found a weak spot that they can exploit.

"Than let's go and attack it!!"

Ruby squealed out, as she than began to attack the robot with everything she has. She than landed open top of a Hardlight shield on the other arm, and the one who's shield had been broken tried to crush her beneath its hand. But Ruby pulled the trigger, and the blade turned at 180 degrees, before she raised it in the air and prevented it from reaching her. Than, Sonic began to run up the body of the robot, before jumping off and spinning, before he struck the exposed part of the shield, causing an explosion. The shield than broke, and Ruby nearly fell. Thankfully, she was able to use her Petal Burst to get out of the way, and landed back on the ground safely next to Sans and Sonic. Eggman looks mad, as he spoke out.

"No matter!! Atlas still gave me something that makes it difficult for you to beat!!"

Than, the large machine than fired Gravity Dust Bullets from the shoulders, and made a powerful explosion that launched Sans back.

"Okay, that is not good."

Sans than began to fly towards the robot, and the robot attempt to shoot Sans in the stomach. He wa able to make a shield, but the bullet's explosion was powerful enough to launch Sans back down to the ground once more. 

"Okay, this is actually going to be a bit more difficult than many of us could manage."

Sans spoke out, as he began to stand up.

As Sans, Sonic, and Ruby continue to fight off against the large robot, suddenly...a Glyph appeared in front of the robot, and large icicles came out of it, as the icicles pierced the robot, causing it to stumble.

Sans looks to see Weiss and Blake having arrived. Sans looked relieved, as he than spoke out to them.

"Thank God, you guys are here. Was worried you'd never show up to help us all."

Weiss smiled at Sans, as she spoke out.

"You thought we are going to leave you guys hanging? Not thanks. And besides..."

She than looks up at Eggman, before speaking out to him.

"I'm gonna make sure that this guy pays for using the Schnee's Hardlight Dust."

She than made a glyph on the ground, and it is very big in size, and than, coming out of it is a large Arma Gigas,

which is the same exact size as the very large robot that Eggman is using to trap their friends and for fighting off against Ruby, Sans, and Sonic. The Arma Gigas than began to move forward, as he tried to slam its sword down on top of its head. But the robot moved out of the way, and the Arma Gigas ended up making a hole on the ground. Than, the robot turns around and punched the Arma Gigas in the head, before the Arma Gigas caught its hand and stopped it from punching the helmet off its shoulder.

Weiss than fired a bunch of Icicles at the large robot with her Glyphs and Ice Dust, but the robot counters by using fire dust bullets to destroy the icicles and protect itself, unlike last time, where it had allowed Weiss to hit it with the Icicles. Weiss than used Myrtenaster with fire dust to launch a fiery slash at the robot, which actually made it stumble back. She than used electric dust to short circuit the large robot for a little bit, before it deactivated, and it tries to punch Weiss, who is standing on the shoulder of the Arma Gigas. But Weiss is not going to be done with that, and than...it was time for Blake to make an entrance into the fight.

She rushed forward with Gambol Shroud in her hand, as she than attacks the robot and cuts it as much as she could. She slices and diced the robot at its metal hide, in an attempt to damage and weaken it. The robot tried to grab her, but she than used her Semblance, Shadow, to make a fire clone, which than exploded on the hand. This damaged the hand badly, although it did not destroy it, and it is still as functional as ever.

Inside of the robot, the group was shaking, as he cannot stop by he thrown off of their feet, as the Arma Gigas and E-47 Pumpty combat each other. Their strengths are very powerful, as they strike with immense force, and yet, they do not seem to stop when they should have stopped now.

"Woah!!!"

Jaune cried out, as he than spoke out.

"This is ridiculous!! We should be here helping them instea of being trapped inside of this robot!!!"

Ren looks out, and Pyrrha spoke to Jaune.

"Well...is there a way for us to get out?"

Everyone looked around in order to see what it is that they can use in order to get out, only to see Tails doing something to the core of the robot.

"Tails, what are you doing?"

Ren than spoke out to tails, who turns around and spoke out while also holding some wire snippers.

"I'm going to try and fix the robot so that I can have it work for us."

But Amy had a different idea.

"Step aside, Tails, there's no time! I can fix that robot myself!!"

Amy than takes out a hammer, and Nora actually smiled at that.

"I'll join in!!"

She spoke out, as she shouts out Magnhild.

"Wait Nora, Don't!!"

Ren spoke out, as Tails spoke out as well.

"Amy, wait!! Don't do it!!!"

But it was already too late. Amy and Nora raised their hammers, and slammed it down on top of the robot's core.

Both Nora and Amy smashed at the core with their respective hammers, as Nora used the electricity upgrade from within her hammer. Electricity it began to spark all over the small space that everyone is in, as the glass at the robot's front exploded violently.

"Oh no!!!!"

Blake shouted, as she looks to see the smoke coming out of the broken hole in the glass. Yang and Atla arrived, with Knuckles behind them, but than...Knuckles saw it....the robot, as well as Sonic's friends inside of It.

"What in the...what is this?"

Knuckles spoke out, as he can see everyone inside of the robot...including Amy, who is laying down unconscious, after she used the hammer to destroy the core.

Yang than began to rush forward with Atla, as she than began to punch and kick the robot as much as they could in order to dent it. They robot tried to fire at them, before Yang moved out of the way, and used her weapon, Ember Celica to fire another bullet to deflect the one that the robot was about to hit Yang with. Weiss de-summoned the Arma Gigas, and looks to see if her friends are still okay after getting blown up.

Knuckles could not believe what he was seeing, as he spoke out.

"But...no...it can't be! Eggman, he said he wanted peace!"

Sans than spoke out to knuckles.

"Knuckles..."

Knuckles turned around, as Sasn than spoke out to him.

"If Eggman really wanted at, would you have not seen this?"

This made Knuckles look down at the ground and think about it for a little bit, as Nora is now shown in full view. She looked and saw that the core had been damaged. She smiled, as she spoke out loud.

"Aww yeah!! We did a great smash!!!"

Nora pumps her fist in the air, as her Semblance, High Voltage, sparked all over. Eggman lowered himself, and shouted out at the people still captive inside of the robot.

"Look at what you've done!! You've wrecked my robot!! And it isn't even insured!"

Nora smiled, as she changed Magnhild to its Grenade launcher form.

"Which is what we wanted! Now take this to the face!!"

She than began to fire her grenades at Eggman, who than began to rise high up to not get hit.

"Woah!! Lower that at once!!"

But Nora did not listen and continues to fire it at Eggman, until Eggman's unable to be caught in Nora's line of sight.

The group than began to get off from the ground, as Jaune spoke out.

"Is everyone...okay?"

"Yeah."

Everyone spoke out. Jaune than looked and sees that the explosion has made an opening that they can get through.

"Huh. Guess it works in the end after all."

Pyrrha looks, and nodded.

"Yes, they made an opening for all of us to get out of! We need to take the chance to try and escape from the machine, now!"

Blake, taking this chance, used Gambol Shroud in mini scythe form and spoke out to their friends that are trapped inside.

"Get out, quick!!"

Ren, Jaune, and Pyrrha than got out by grabbing onto Gambol Shroud's ribbon and sliding down. Amy, Nora, and Tails followed suit, as they got out. Amy than rushes towards Sonic and hugged him as tightly as she could, as tears start to come out of her eyes. But than, the robot it began to reactivate again, and it is not happier at all. Eggman is not that happy either.

"That little weasel. He lied."

Knuckles snarled. As he said that, Eggman than spoke out to Sonic.

"Oh Sonic! What you have seen is just a fraction of  E-47 Pumpty's firepower. Now it's time to show you what it is really capable of doing!!"

The robot than began to stand up, and than, before anyone realizes what is about to happen, and began to fire all of its weapons out at once. Everyone immediately takes cover behind some rocks, as Ruby changed Crescent Rose into its sniper form, and began to shoot, while she stays undercover. Sans even launched some Abyss Shards at the rounds in order to prevent some of them from hitting the group. Jaune also used his shield to widen his defense, and Ren began to fire form behind the Hardlight shield that is protecting himself, and Pyrrha, who is also joining on on shooting the robot. Nora is also using the grenades that she has in Magnhild, in order to blow the robot up to destroy it. But just than, Knuckles appeared before the group, and spoke out.

"Let me take a crack at Eggman! That guy is gonna pay for what he has done, by lying to me!"

Sonic looks surprised but than spoke out with a smile present on his face.

"Okay."

Yang than jumps out, and spoke out.

"I'm joining in. After all, someone's got to deflect the bullets."

Knuckles looked surprised, but than nodded, as he and Yang than charged at E-47 Pumpty, which is continuing to fire all of its weapons at everything.

Knuckles continues to avoid getting shot, while Yang uses Ember Celica to shoot and deflect some of the bullets with her own bullets. Than, as soon as they got close enough to the robot, they than began to damage random parts of its body, including the weapons that it is firing.

They than began to reach the head, and as soon as they did, they put all of their strength into it. But before they did, Yang decides to use her Semblance, Burn, in order to empower herself with all of the hits, all of the kinetic energy that she had taken, in order for her to become strong enough to destroy the robot completely.

Both Yang and Knuckles than punched E-47 Pumpty with all of their might on top of the head, and the robot exploded after the punch made so many cracks.

"No!! No!!! You'll pay for this!!!"

Eggman shouted out in a rage, as Atla than jumped in the air, and spoke out.

"Goodbye."

Knuckles is also in the air, and he has a very, very enraged expression.

"You...you big liar!!!!!"

He shouted out,

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

As Atla and Knuckles than punched Eggman's vehicle at the exact same time, sending him flying away.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!"

Eggman shouted at the top of his lungs, as he is sent flying beyond the horizon. He was seen flying, until he went out of complete sight, and star twinkled, as he is gone.

Knuckles landed on the ground, as Sonic and Sans and Knuckles looked at each other, before Knuckles smiles, before they both smiled back.

"So...we're cool?"

Sans spoke out, as Sonic spoke out.

"Yeah. We are."

Sans nodded, and than looked at where the robot is...only to see something shiny there. Sans flies to the shiny object...and saw that...it is a blue Chaos Emerald.

"There it is."

Sans spoke out, as he picked it up, before flying towards the 2, and showing it to Both Sonic and Knuckles.

"Wow. Nice find."

Sonic spoke out, and Sans nodded. He than turns to Knuckles, as he spoke out.

"So...what are you gonna do now, Knuckles, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up?"

Knuckles frowned, and spoke out.

"I'm gonna go find the Master Emerald along with Angel Island. After all...I made a sworn duty to protect it by anyone that tries to take it. I'm just hoping that it's not taken now."

Sans looks and nodded.

"Understandable...but before you go, a little heads up."

Knuckles looked at Sans and spoke out.

"What is it?"

Sans sighed, before speaking out.

"Eggman is not working alone. He has someone else that he is manipulating, and I won't doubt that he will convince him to try and get the Master Emerald for you."

This time, Knuckles was listening, and spoke out.

"Who is it?"

Sans looks and spoke out.

"James Ironwood. A general from a high tech kingdom called Atlas. And believe me, he is someone you do not want to take lightly."

Knuckles than looks down, and spoke out.

"I'll keep that in mind. For now, I need to go."

Sans nodded, and spoke out.

"Take care."

Knuckles nodded and began to walk away, and before he did...

"Yo, Knuckles!!!"

Knuckles looks and sees Yang with a determined look on his face.

"Once we meet again, I wanna finish what we were doing to se who's the strongest there!!"

Knuckles looked surprised, but than smirked and spoke out.

"Well, I'll be waiting for that moment to come."

Knuckles than turns around and walks away, and goes to who knows where. Sans than looks down and sees the Chaos Emerald, before speaking out.

"Now...we can go back."

Weiss turns and nodded, and spoke out.

"Let's get out of here."

Everyone else agreed, and they began to walk away from the sight, and Sans has an idea that...this won't be the last time that, Knuckles is going to meet them. In fact, he has a feeling that, he'll see him again very, very soon. But when they do meet again, Sans is hoping for one thing in his mind.

'If the both of us ever meet again...hopefully the meeting is much more friendly.'
