"How is someone so big is fast?!" Pinkie asked while she, Twilight. Amy and Tails were running away.

"Just keep running!" Tails said.

"No! We came here to get that Emerland and end this nightmare!" Amy said the swung her hammer at Zomom. "I can't believe that worked!"

"Weird flavor..." Zomom said while tasting her hammer.

"Stop that, you gross weirdo!" Amy pulled her hammer out then Pinkie blasted him with her Party Cannon.

"Ow! I'm gonna chew extra hard before swallowing!" Zomom exclaimed.

"Please tell me he's metaphorical right?" Twilight shuddered a bit.

"Why bother with us when there is cake?" Pinkie asked.

"Huh?"

"I dropped my cake while you chasing us, which is too bad because it's really tasty!"

"Where is it?! I'm starving!" Zomom left in search of the cake.

"Ok, that should buy some time to figure out how to beat him," Amy said. "He too strong for us to take down, and too stupid to outwit!"

"He seems easily distracted, what if one of were to bait him while the others grabbed the Emerald?" Tails suggested.

"Risky, but it's worth a shot!" Twilight as Zomom came back.

"I found the cake and it was good, and now back to smashing!"

At Sunset City

"Uh, Gemerl?" Cream and Fluttershy backup while he walked toward them

"He can't hear you brat!" Zeena exclaimed. "Bringing a robot to fight when darn well I could control machines? How stupid are you?"

"Please don't do it! I know you wanted Fluttershy and me to stay behind! But it was because you wanted us to be safe! Remember?!"

"The Gemerl I know is tough to be pushed around! You have a kind heart!"

"You got to fight it! Don't let her control you!" Fluttershy shouted that causing Gemerl snapped out of it and hugged both of them.

"You did it!"

"Damn it! Look like I have to get my hands dirty but at least I'll have some fun!" Zeena uses the power of her Chaos Emerald to create energy tethers and grabs Gemerl's hands and feet with them. In control of his movements again, Zeena forces Gemerl to attack Cream and Fluttershy.

"Fight her!" Cream protested.

Extrenal Interface! Cannot Override! Look out!

Both of them dodge it and both of them strike at Zeena causing her to lose grip on Germerl.

"I hate fighting!" Fluttershy snapped. "I hate seeing my friends hurt and scared and I hate how mean you are!"

In response, Zeena bounces Cream off with the tethers and slams Gemerl into the ground. She then throws the robot into a crowd of Zombots, leaving him to be viciously attacked by them. With them being distracted, Zeena grabbed Cream's ears and Fluttershy's tail.

"I know your type," Zeena said to them. "The good little girl who works so hard to please everyone. You think you're better than me because you have moral high ground huh?"

"Look where all got that, kids. What's the matter? I thought you'd be friends with everyone!"

Back at Vista View

"We can't keep this up!" Twilight said as she and Pinkie blasted the Zombot horde.

"I'm thinking!" Tails said.

"Ahh! You two are so annoying!" Zomom said spins into the ground, creating a mini earthquake and causing the building on them were on to collapse. Tails grabbed Amy and Pinkie and then he and Twilight flew to the town gate.

"Are you okay?" Amy asked Tails.

"Yeah, just worn out," Tails replied.

"But we've got to keep moving!"

"No, we need to stay here!" Twilight exclaimed as Zomom charged through the ground to the gate. "Wait for it... Now!"

Both Twilight and Amy hit the gate's wheels which force lower down onto Zomom, trapping him.

"How do you like that? Overpowered and Outsmarted!" Pinkie said looking at the dazed Zeti while Tails removes Zomom's Chaos Emerald and leaves with Amy; Zomom calls out after them, stating that without the Emerald he could not control the Zombots. The Zeti soon finds Zombots approaching him while he cannot move.

In Sunset City

"Ok, my arms are to cramp, this has been cathartic but we're done here," Zeena said.

"No!" Cream said. Then Discord appeared and snapped his fingers that freed Gemerl from the Zombot horde and then the robot grabbed Zeena's hair and slammed her to the ground.

"Thank you, Discord!" As Fluttershy was in his arms and Gemerl had Cream in his hands.

"Don't think you get away that easy-hey!" Zeena was trapped by a coil Discord made then Cream grab her Chaos Emerlald.

"Got it!" Cream said.

"No!" Zeena said then Gemerl got behind her.

You. Hurt. My. Friends

Gemerl grabbed her and toss her the horde of Zombots.

"I'm sorry, Gemerl."

Don't be. I required your and the others' assistance after all. Thank you.

"Yes, but both me and Fluttershy got infected in the process!" Cream and Fluttershy show him and Discord that the Metal Virus was on them.

"We don't the others to get sick, so take the emerald back with the others..."

"No need," Discord snapped his fingers and the emerald was gone. "The emerald is its way to Sonic and the others. That we both stay here until you are well!"

"I just heard from Twilight, that her group got the Chaos Emerald and Discord just send here but both Cream and Fluttershy got it the Metal Virus so they staying with them."

"Uh, guys do you see what am I seeing?" Applejack asked.

"Shit! We're all out of time!" Eggman said seeing the Faceship.

"Zavok's found us!" Sonic said.
