New friends, New adventures.

Gear shot across the open fields as he ran a makeshift track he made, practicing and train with his abilities as his engine roared with with every attack and maneuver he made.

He had been practicing with at theGuild but found it safer to practice away from people if he really wanted to see what he was capable of doing, especially his sear power since his tune up and upgrades from Darren.

He continued training, focusing on little else as he dashed around and practiced against several training dummies he borrowed from Aaron.

It's about time, now isn't it?

As the green mechametal trained by himself, off in the distance a blue figure was moving at top speeds, rushing through dense fields of grass, throwing care to the wind.
To many, this was a familiar sight, but he seemed to have disappeared for a short bit. Not long, just enough to be noticeable. He was finally relaxing like he always wanted, but was a little bored.
He didn't mind at all, though. From his perspective, no otherworldly threats or evil doctors threatening world peace was a good thing.

You know.
Like most sane people would think.

It didn't change the fact that not having to fight much left him with not much to do. He'd already seen the world, three times over if you include past adventures fighting people. He'd been to space countless times, fought a time god... or two? He wasn't sure. Maybe he hadn't fought any...
But he had fought Gods.
No one was even after the Chaos Emeralds, one safely with him still after so long.
It was safe to say he felt a little rusty, and lazing about wasn't good. He needed to find something new. 

After a bit, he caught a glimpse of the machine-made track that was seemingly in the middle of nowhere. He smirked, giving it a curious glance before skidding to a stop as he realized he'd likely pass it by if he didn't stop running immediately. Slamming his heels into the ground, he stopped just in time to see a lean, green running machine dash on by. 
It looked oddly familiar. And seeing them hit dummy after dummy, he chuckled, giving them a clap - he seemed to be enjoying the joy. "Hey, uh- robot guy! Good job!", he called out words of encouragement, hoping the machine could hear him. He crossed his arms, before putting a hand on the side of his head, continuing to watch. 


He knew nothing about this robot or the purpose of the ramp, but they didn't seem to be hurting anyone. And even if they did prove a threat, just means he'd get the fight he's wanted for a while.

-Peace, well it was about time, the wars were now behind the world, but the memories were sure there. Despite it conflicts had still broken out to a small degree tho in the main light of things the world was far better off then a few years ago. 

A large part of the peace and security of a large portion of the planet was the Cybred, a brand new state of the art self thinking fully automated bipedal war machines built by Vektor engineering years ago as a solution to the ever growing threat of another possible war with empire.

Tho at first doubtful the machines proved them self to be a match for any thing the Empire could throw at them, time and time again crushed the robotic forces under their steel feet, the battles in the western territory grounded the empires so called new advance dead in its tracks and force them to retreat.

With the major success of the machine in time most places, city, town, base or urban centers it was pretty common to see a pair of these machines standing guard, various classes, shapes, sizes and more were created and soon enough the Cybreds spread every thing seemed perfect, but perfect never lasts...

Years after their deployment events and cyber attacks followed, a virus of unknown origin and location had begun to affect certain places and the machines them self, turning them hostile against those around them, its been a ongoing operation by G.U.N to find and destroy the virus, yet it continues to plague the system. 

tho for a good long while every thing seem to be normal. The day was new and the weather was great, a perfect day.....for a perfect storm. The open fields were calm, nothing but blue skies and gentle breezes swept across it, tho perfect setting was soon broken, tremors began to emanate from the ground, growing in size and strength, distant mechanical sounds were heard..something or things were moving near by...and it didn't seem small at all..

10 seconds of silence fell upon the land till a sudden detonation of a weapon happened, a fire ball raising into the air as the thick black smoke lifted higher...looks like trouble was brewing and perhaps a fight on the way.-

As Gear shot through his course he suddenly noticed a blue figure nearby, calling out to him as he continued across his course. 

~Who'd be way out h we re in a place like this?~,he thought as he dashed over, cutting his engine as he came sliding to a stop by the newcomer,~Kinda a bit out here for anyone to just pass byor anythi-~

He stopped mid-thought as he got a good look at the new arrival. It was Sonic, the freedom fighter, nemesis of eggman himself. While hadn't been around too long he still knew the fame and weight that the blue Hedgehog carried. Gear had heard the stories and tales of his adventures and the many times Sonic had saved the world, for him to be way out here was surprising to say the least.

"W-wow... uh.. sonic right? It's an honor to met you. Never thought i would much less way out here."

Sonic's smile was genuine, a curiosity about the machine in front of him sparking. Tails would love to see this - been a while since he'd seen him.
Gladly, the kind robot knew who he was, and with that he gave him a thumbs up, "Yeah, that's me! The one and only. Just enjoying my relaxation while I still got time- so, what are you doing out here? This is a pretty impressive track you've got set-up here, and you've got pretty slick moves!"

He stood in a more relaxed position talking to the robot, though he slightly tensed up at the sound of explosions. His ear twitched a little, and he turned his head. He didn't notice the smoke immediately...
"Hey, uh... You heard that too, right?", Sonic asked, turning slightly to the direction he heard the booming from.

-Several more spots of smoke appeared, followed by several more louder explosions until what only seemed to last about 5-10 mins finally stopped, the only other sound carrying through the area were the thuds of increasing nature emanating in the near by vicinity.

given that it was some distance off it was a sure bet that what ever these things were, they were of some considerable size and mass to be heard from that distance.

The smoke continue rise higher and higher as the sound of lumbering machinery drew ever so closer, the ground it self even tremor slightly at their approach, the tops of trees shook from each thud made by them.

Tho despite all of this non of them came with in visual range of the pair instead it all seemed be happening behind concealed terrain on the other side of closely dense foliage.-

Gear gave a nod as he looked off into the distance, listening to the explosions that went on for several moments. After a minute it stopped, smoke rising in the distance far beyond some trees and terrain as whatever it was making the noise was getting closer.

"Not recognizing the sound, doesn't sound something I've encountered before of any kind... hoping it's not more trouble. I swear if another forest or environment is getting busted again by some maniac...." Gears face turned sour as he rubbed his forehead. "Say..." he turned to sonic with a joyful look, "Sine you are here do you want to check it out with me? It'd be a pleasure to see you in action."

Sonic was certainly intrigued and was about ready to run off when the machine, who hadn't answered Sonic's innocent, simple questions, asked him if they could go with him. He smirked, giving a thumbs up, "Sure, I don't see why not! Just try and keep up, alright?" 

With that, Sonic looked to the smoking forest, his expression turning a little more serious as the sounds came closer, before running off. He didn't go as fast as he could, more just going fast enough to let his new robot companion catch up.

-Once cleared of the foliage a large metal foot came crashing down about 2 meters away from the blue blur. Before him and the other was a Cybred, moving gracefully past them, it had not detected them tho, beyond it were another pair that seemed to be clearing out the racket remains of a leveled town. 

It had been completely raised to the floor, nothing was standing, not even the foundation was left, behind the smoke further back was the largest one of the 4, standing tall and bristling with heavy weapons, a impressive sight as it stood watching what was going on.

The large machines were painted a metal like grey the only color different was the small blue visor located with in there head torso sections and of course the well worn but still clearly visible G.U.N logo.

These were not empire machines, these belonged to a faction that was totally against such actions but it begged the question why, why had they just lay wasted to a entire town for no reason.

The ground shook as machines moved about the land around them, still complete unaware of the new comers, their blue visors flickering between blue and a blood orange color, it was clear from this stand point something was terribly wrong with the machines.-

Gear gave a nod, his engine flaring as he dashed off with the blue hedgehog. He kept up rather easily as they reached the trees but were immediately met with a huge metal foot which Gear nearly got crushed by, dashing around it and stopping at the edge of the clearing.

"What... the heck?"

Gear stood there mortified at the destruction and devastation seemingly caused by huge machines, the buildings wrecked and fires still burning.

Sonic and Gear dashed through the forest, and not too shortly after were nearly crushed by a large metal foot. He watched Gear end up on the other side of the pathway that had been cleared out by the machines as Sonic quickly skidded to a stop.
His jaw nearly dropped as he saw what they were doing - and worst of all, this wasn't Eggman... well, maybe that wasn't really that bad a revelation, though seeing it was GUN made it feel worse. Weren't they suppose to protect people? They did fight Sonic in the past, but it was in the name of the law after he had been framed, and for a while they were against the Empire, so what gives?!

After a bit, Sonic chuckled. "Alright, so I guess GUN wants to play this game now, huh? I'll play their game.", he smirked, looking at Gear as he got ready to jump at the machine.
Dashing forward a bit, he made a quick jump, lingered in the air for a bit as he aimed himself, and with a quick and powerful dash, he thoked himself at the machine.

-Total and complete wipe out was achieved, the machines finished up here and were just about ready to move on to the next location,unfortunately it seemed like they now had encountered some..resistance, and with Cybreds resistance would be crushed swiftly and effectively, tho they had no idea who they were engaging at all at this point.

Their systems were so scrambled the targeting systems had had enough time locking onto something to determine if it was friend or foe at this point. 

The Cybreds originally paid no attention to the duo and acted like they were not even there to begin with, striding ahead, their large metal feet making the iconic thud sound that was all to familiar these days.

Suddenly the closest Cybred, a Medium enforcer class spotted a blue figure leaping and approaching it at a fairly high velocity. It pitched its massive torso up to see it coming straight down upon it, the machine didn't move or budge. A meter before impact the blue Mobian would strike...nothing ? He made contact with thin air only to catch a glimpse of a blue pulse sweep over in a bubble like shape...it was the Cybreds shield activating stopping the attack cold in it's tracks.

Course now upon attacking the machine the Cybreds quickly confirmed them as "hostile" the large machine before them powering up its vehicle sized weapons, taking aim at the intruders and fired a massive beam of concentrated ionized particles that showed off with a almost blinding orange yellow blast coming from its barrel.

The fight was on.-

Gear lept into action, his normally Yellow/green eyes flicking to red as his combat senses sparked on.

"EMERALD BARRIER!"

I an instant a hexagonal shape light construct appeared in ftont of him, blocking the oncoming attack and dispersing it and protecting him from the heavy blast of enegy. The shield craked under the extreme stress however, forcing him to jump up and begin flying around it at high speeds dodging the other beams and any other attack it would probably go.

After several homing attacks of his ownhe confirmed that there was indeed a shield protecting the medium sized one, probably the others as well. He had to figure a way past it if he wanted to do any real damage against these walking weapon platforms.

"Let's see your shields take this!"

With a sort charge up Gear fired his chest beam directly at the medium Cybred, his engine heating up from the sustained output.

"W- wait, what?!", Sonic gasped, before seeing a beam charging up and almost about to fire, just before he blasted off. Gear blocked the beam fired at him, and continued trying to attack directly...
No luck. 

"Alright, not sure exactly what GUN did different this time, but I don't like it.", Sonic groaned, before drifting around the medium sized robot, then running a circle around it. He was trying to kick up wind to start the blue tornado - even large robots he's fought would get thrown by it.

-The Enforcer cybred quickly switched to another weapon system and launched 6 unguided large Anti armor missile warheads towards the metal being which it had now ID as the main threat. 

Picking up a heat signature emanating from with in the metal being the Cybred held its position as the sudden explosive force smashed into its shield, the beam burning more and more into the shield, continuing to hold on. These shields seemed capable of holding out quite a bit, but with the constant damage being inflicted and having no time to actively recharge them, the Enforcers Shield systems fail, exposing the machines armor and chassis.

Below it something else was going on, something it was not even paying attention to, the blue blur had begun to create a vortex like tornado around, the enforcer sensing instability being generated by the tornado lifted, the enforcer found it self suddenly off the ground and hurl a short distance as the machine collapsed onto its back with a massive metal thud.

One would assume that would be enough to put it out of commission, but to the pair the machine started to get it self back onto its feet slowly, its shields were down but it self was not out of the fight.

Making matters worse it had called for help, the two lighter machines were on route and they had now a race against time to destroy it before being over whelmed, time to see how thick its armor really is.-

"Oh no you y'all don't!"

Gear spun and jetted towards the two incoming Lighter ones, locking on the machines as he shot himself upwards and came down with a powerful drop kick on one. Rebounding off it's shields he used the momentum to go spinning into the other one with a fast cutting spin attack, trying his best to keep their attention on him,

"Sonic! I got these two, you take that one out of action while I scrap these guys,"

Gear kept flying around them firing different beams trying to wear down their shields, having already used a full power beam he would have to wait on a cool down before he could do it again. He aimed and his attacks at the smaller machines legs trying to knock them off balance and get a better openings,

Sonic watched as the medium one was going from its standing position and launched a good distance away. Glad to see that worked - and after looking at the machine in the distance getting up, something was clearly different. 
Time for some classic Sonic action! 
He turned to Gear, quickly giving a thumbs up, "Alright, this shouldn't take long!, before dashing off to the machine. 
Expecting fire, he swerved around the robot at first, before jumping and aiming a homing attack at the clearly shield-less bot.

-As the two lighter machines came rushing into only to be met with a strike upon their shields, the figures rapid strikes were noted by the lighter machines, tactics were shifted one broke off to the left the other moved to the right, expanding the gap which would force gear to concentrate on one of them as the other could fire upon him un impeded. It was clear these machines were rapidly adapting the current tactic and using any means to exploit it.

One of the light Cybreds pulls off from the fight heading a short distance away to engage at range while the other lighter cybred shut down its weapon systems devoting more power to the shields, giving extra time for the lighter Cybred to nail a hit, the further lighter Cybred opens up with 200 Gigwatt laser fire followed by a stream of large caliber shells fired towards the mecha.

The medium Cybred at this point had managed to regain some kind of footing enough to brace it self to shoot for the most part. Its targeting system picking up the blue blur approaching it rapidly, as the figure launched himself and came homing in directly towards the Cybred, this allowed it to lock onto him directly with its system, the machine opens fire with its full arsenal upon the approaching threat. However due to target tracking being affected by the virus the machine misses its shots as the hedgehog slambs into the machine sending it back onto the ground with a thud, sheering off its left leg and damaging its mainframe, tho the impact caused it some severe damage the machine was starting to right it self up, it was not out of the fight yet. 

The machine perched it self into a sitting up turret like position, retraining it's weapon back onto the hedgehog and opening up with full weapons fire upon him.  

Mean while it was a sure bet the heavy had heard the fighting going on and was heading their way.

Gear smirked as he threw up his shield, using the force of the laser to propel him right into the other light cybred with a energy fused spin attack. The green Mecha slammed into the Cybred with a clash of yellow and green sparks as jump lept up with extra momentum, charging his laser port and letting out a barrage towards the machine that was further away from him trying to do either damage or kick up dirt to force it to move.

Not wasting a moment he powered up and shot down again towards the defensive one with a spinning hammer arm to the main head sensors trying to overload the shields with heavy attacks, something he was good at assuming he was in shape, something he was in right now. He proceeded to dodge a weave around firing quick bursts and throwing fast punches and kicks trying to batter the thing down and guide the others attacks into his own comrade.

Meanwhile, Sonic was mainly focused on handling the one. It seemed simple at first, as he bounced off the machine with the force from the homing attack doing heavy damage. However, just as he was about to dash back at them, the medium-sized Cybred had already began firing. 
Rings flew out of the blue hedgehog, radiating chaotic energy as usual as he took the bullet in the arm, "Gah, dang it!" 
The best option seemed to be to just dash around the robot's backside to try and attack quickly from there while dodging bullets, picking up a ring on the way to heal himself...

-Blow after blow landed on the smaller scout Cybred its shield slowly depleting with each hit, its visor flickered green for a moment before returning its orange hue, the machine started to move, as if try to making it far harder for Gear to land a shot, but this also would make the other Cybreds targeting that much more difficult on top of the fact that the infected machines already had issues lining up clear shots.

Gears return fire upon the distant scout Cybred did kick up some dirt only partially impeding it, as it was able to see the Mecha's thermal reading and continued to blaze away at him with laser and heavy shell fire. 

Course some shots did hit the other Cybred by mistake which only helped the shields drop further, then with a blast of blue energy the shield was gone, it had finally given out under constant bombardment, A few stray shots came in from the second machine striking the other Cybreds left leg, crippling it to a limb denying its ability to move rapidly and fast, the scout Cybred was now  open target, unable to fight back and with no shields to protect it self. 

The Enforce being engaged with the blue blur was still trying to put up a fight tho unable to move any more due to its one leg being blown away, it continued to fire rapidly at the Hedgehog in a attempt to put him down for good, tho Sonic was about to get the upper hand soon enough.

As the he continued to circle it the Cybred's torso reached its max rotation distance of 90 degrees, with its inability to turn it self around, from behind the Cybred was completely defenseless unable to turn its main body around to face him, and the rear was indeed the most vulnerable spot on any war machine, whether it was a tank, or a Cybred its armor was much thinner behind then at the front.-

"Game Over!"

Gear shouted as he jumped up and came down in a sparking spin attack, slamming into it from multiple sides with his multi-lock spin attack. Gear didn't stop there as he dashed towards the one that had been firing on him,

"Time to up the class!"

Gears engine sparked as a green and yellow aura surrounded him, his overdrive activating, a destructive energy as his power level and attacks grew stronger as he rammed into his new target with renewed vigor and power. He didn't let up as he knew the larger one was going to be the biggest threat to the hedgehogs if they didn't handle the smaller ones fast.

Sonic continued running until he noticed the Cybred slowly stop turning, and quickly skid to a stop. 
"Now's my chance!", Sonic called out as he quickly rolled into a ball and began charging a dash. After a bit, he began glowing, and uncurled... 
"Ready...?", he said to himself as he got into position, glowing a bright sky blue light as he looked at the large Cybred, unable to stop him, with a confident smirk, "GO!" 
And like that, he launched at the machine's vulnerable back in a flash of light.
