The two airplanes swooshed through the blue sky, their pilots always keeping an eye on the massive form of the Egg Carrier.
"Watch out," Tails told the Senshi per radio. "Eggman's sending out some jet fighters. Don't hesitate to shoot them down, they're only manned by robots."
"Here they come," shouted Makoto and got ready to use her guns.
And the battle was on. Sonic used the Tornado's machine gun and lock-on-missiles to blast the jets from the sky, and Minako and Makoto used their magical attacks, firing them with the help of the special cannons: "Crescent Beam!" "Supreme Thunder!"
Then they reached the Egg Carrier, but got no chance of landing, because of the assault of the fighters. On top of that, there were multiple turrets on the Egg Carrier's surface shooting at them as well.
"Use the new lock-on-system," Tails told his friend. "Try to shoot three of them down at once!"
"Right," Sonic shouted and did as he was told.
Meanwhile, Venus came up with a smart way of getting rid of some chasers. "Venus Love-me-Chain!" Her chain of shining hearts wrapped itself around one turret on the Carrier's surface, while they other end attached itself to one of the following jets. Now connected to the turret, the jet had no choice but to fly around it in circles, wrapping the chain even closer to the turret. Finally, it collided with the turret, and both of the weapons were destroyed.

On the bridge of the Egg Carrier, Eggman was smoothing his mustache with his fingers. "Those kids... they're nothing but a nuisance!"
"Shall I go outside to take care of them?" Metal Sonic asked with gleaming eyes. But the doctor shook his head. "No need for that! I have everything under control..." He lowered some kind of complex periscope and looked through it. Before his eyes, he could see the air battle. He held his eyes especially on one certain red plane, manned by a two-tailed fox and a blue hedgehog...
"Now I have you where I want you," he chuckled. He raised a finger. "Metal Sonic, get the cannon ready..."
The robotic hedgehog nodded and went to his post.
"Three... two... one... FIRE!"
----
Sonic already had a bad feeling when the front of the Egg Carrier opened up to reveal a big, circular object hidden underneath.
And when he saw the broad laser beam being shot out of the cannon, he had only time to yell: "Look out..." But it was too late.
Any jet fighter that was between them and the cannon got instantly obliterated. Tails tried to dodge, but still the laser hit the side of the Tornado, ripping off one wing and half of the landing gear.
"We're hit!" Sonic shouted. "Tails, are there any parachutes in here?"
Tails sweat-dropped. "I knew I forgot something..."
And then, the plane plummeted down towards Earth, wildly spinning around. Sonic had to hold on tightly to not being thrown out of his seat.
"Oh no," Minako shouted. "Sonic and Tails are hit. They're falling..."
"Quick, we have to try to catch them," Usagi shouted and turned around the Moon Jet. "We have to catch Eggman some other time."
When they turned around, the remaining jet fighters stopped their pursuit and returned to the Egg Carrier.
When Tails saw the Moon Jet descending, he said: "Sonic! Try to jump over to the Senshi's plane! I'll try to get away using my tails."
"You'll be okay, buddy?" Sonic asked in a worried tone.
"No problem," Tails assured him. "Besides, there's no way they would have enough space for two of us."
"All right," Sonic nodded. "See ya on the ground, Tails!"
Tails twirled his tails and flew up into the air, thereby abandoning the pilot's seat. Sonic looked down nervously. He could see the outskirts of Station Square, and closer than he would have preferred.
As the Moon Jet came flying underneath the plummeting Tornado, Sonic concentrated. It was now or never!
He jumped out of his seat, almost got hit by the spinning wing of the Tornado, fell towards the Moon Jet and grabbed Makoto's hand in the last second. While Minako and Makoto pulled him to safety, Usagi steered the jet around to avoid being crashed by the Tornado.
From above, Tails watched as the airplane crashed down to Earth. "Too bad," he sighed. "The Tornado was one of my greatest inventions..." But then, a stiff breeze caught him and blew him away from the others.
"Whoa," Tails cried. "Nonono! Back there, back there!"
But the wind was never known to listen for anyone's pleads, so it continued blowing the little fox away from his friends. Back towards the Mystic Ruins.
