Lien-Da rallies the troops and prepares them for a rocket powered assualt while Sally urges caution since they still outnumber them. Lien-Da orders fire while Sally has Tails shut them down. So much for that! The Legion freaks out while the FF celebrates their...temporary victory. Too bad they're interrupted by a blast of fire from the horizon...
Why it's the Red...Phoenix, setting the area ablaze with powerful flamethrowers. Everyone runs for cover as the Legion retreats. Sally asks Bunnie if she can put up another force field but that's sadly a no go. Instead she orders everyone to scatter...oi.
Sir Nose and Dimitri watch this amazing (not really) turn of events while Dimitri emos that Eggman almost toasted some of his own people. Sniv tells Dimitri to shove his concerns wherever but Dimitri counters with the fact that he knows a little something. Dimitri tells him that while he was snooping around the networks, searching for a way to help his peeps out, he found out about Sniv and his conversations with the mysterious woman. He threatens to tattle to Eggman about Sniv's little affair but Snively tells him to chill, saying they both can benefit from her arrival...hmmm
Meanwhile, the rest of the FF try to evade Eggman's attack. Knux knows how to deal with it but that involves getting right up to it so that idea is out. Tails points out that the neutralizing mines can stop it but they have to be on the thing to work...crud. Sally however has a plan...
Which first involes Sonic getting Eggman's attention (Not too hard). Then in a stunt pulled right out of Advent Children (Yes, exactly!), Vector, Knux, Tails and Bunnie all take turns propelling Sonic high into the air like a rocket with Eggman close behind. They fly all the way up into space (Don't ask!!) where the Phoenix stalls out...opps.
While they fall (And Sonic lobs insults at Eggman), Ray, Charmy and...forgot the other bee's name tag it with the mines. While the four fly off, the Phoenix falls to a fiery stop. The mines have limited range so Tails has to wait until the bird is barely feet away from them before he disables it.
Eggman is furious and flies off before destroying the bird just as Sonic runs in...which begs the question of why? Meanwhile Sally tells Rotor to set up the shield generator since tomorrow they will attack the Eggdome in the absolute FINAL attack that will decide all the marbles....
okay probably not...
Anywho, Eggman arrives back at the Dome, charred and angry. He tells Dimitri and Snively to prepare the Dark Allian--er Legion because tomorrow is the big day...whooooo! Snively grins and agrees that it will be.
Oooooookay art review: The art is good but the squarish, feminine eyes Sally sports will take some (a lot of) getting used to. I could be more nitpicky but we'll call it a day.
