Chapter 16: Robot Rampage!

As Zac placed his knuckles made of ice shards, he looked around and created a large wall of ice. As it reached towards the roof, thier reflections shone in the ice, creating the illusion that there was more than one of them. As Zac and David exchanged a high five, Sephiroth grabbed his sword.

"They come...Sooner than expected. No matter, we'll show them our power." he smirked.

As the barrage of laser fire went through the walls of ice, Zac quickly created another. The lasers rebounded off the wall, straight back at the robots. A large series explosions could be heard, as well as shattering ice. The shards fell slowly through the air, twinkling brightly, before more lasers greated them. David swung his mace in a full circle, before stopping. A giant shock-wave ripped forward, tearing through more of the enemy lines. A large missile landed between the three, before Zac sealed it in ice, reducing the explosion radius. Sephiroth was calmly slicing through his foes, before he stopped to wash his sword.

[Useless to resist...Surrend...]

The robot exploded as soon as David slammed his mace down on it's head. Sparks went through the air. More robots, sharp and deadly approached.

"Ice Wall!"

A large wall of icy spikes appeared and slid forward, impaling most of the robots as it headed towards a nearby fire. Zac smiled at David.

"That's 51! How are you doing?!" Zac laughed.

"...46. Don't get cocky. Sephiroth might have more..."

"...218. Newbies. I was kind of expecting something impressive...Hah. I've only got 73."

As they kept felling nearby robots, they retreated before a large round object appeared. Zac walked up to it, before it started to blink.

"RUN!"

A large explosion ripped the ground above them into oblivion. Lasers from above limited thier movement as they tried to find cover, before a loud set of footsteps could be heard. A large mech, at least 14 meters tall over-shadowed them. It was silver in color, with lasers and other weapons mounted on it. Buzzsaws rushed past the cockpit, before they saw an angry Dr. Robotnik.

"...Hey, Eggboy! Was' up? Looking for something?" Zac laughed.

"Fools. You may be delaying my efforts to find that blasted resistance, but I'll crush you all here. This is my greatest invention, the Egg Crusher. Able to drop bombs to wipe out at least 2 kilometers of terrain, obliterating all life in it. Not only that, I've refixed the design. No weak points you bugs can exploit...."

"...You should inform these worms...that I assisted you in this...machine." a voice echoed.

A large figure, red in color, drapped in a black, torn cape with two green eyes looked down at them.

"I presume you know this CO leader of the Black Hole Army, Sturm. I revived him with my advanced technology, helping the forces of darkness build our empire! You all will fall before our might! Now, die!"

A rain of artillerary fire rained down on the heroes, causing them to scatter. Zac and David looked at the robot.

"Go! Get out of here! I'll hold them off!" Sephiroth yelled.

"No! You can't do this by..."

A large series of comets came down from the sky, blocking the Egg Crusher from making any progress. Sephiroth's hair was being blown back by the force.

"I...I can hold him off for a few minutes. This should give you enough time to escape. Don't worry about me. I've got plenty of tricks...I'll meet you at our destination!"

They all nodded, before Zac and David ran off, followed by a swarm of robots...
