God-Given Rights

Team Hedgehog, that would be me, Shadow and Sonic (Not in that order), was given a mission that marked our time as G.U.N. agents as real. We had to sneak into the Robotnik airbase, rescue any and all captive and roboticized citizens and, if possible, shut it down. Sneaking on was the easy part. With my telekinesis and their soundless Extreme Gear, we boarded the Airship without tripping security. The hard part was getting into the base without making a scene. The barrier was able to withstand anything that moved with a certain mass at the speed of sound (at least on Mobius). Sonic the Hedgehog Sr. was just able to break the Sound barrier by running at top speed. With that power plus his own under his belt, the currently living Sonic was able to go halfway between the speeds of sound and light, Or so Tj calculated. How I knew this much about the Force Field just by looking at it I'll never know.

We did cause a disturbance, but it was mild and everything on the base went back to normal, even the field went back up. We found Robotnik's Chamber and he was indeed in there. Unbeknownst to us, he had no idea who the "Three Blurs" (White for me, Black for Shadow, and Blue for Sonic) were yet. Right now he was interrogating a civilian, a man who had no affiliation with G.U.N. or any Anti-Robotnik activists for that matter, about the identities of the Three Blurs.

"What are they?" Robotnik said.

"I don't know!" he said. "I barely got a good look before they flashed off!" I realized that I recognized this guy. We saved him from a swarm of Rogue Buzz bombers last month. Apparently I was the only one who got a good look at this guy, Sonic and Shadow didn't recognize him.

"You were there!" Robotnik said. He looked much less threatening in the light. He was a bit…Chubby and he had a mustache that went out in seven directions on either side of his face. His eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, and he was wearing… well I don't know how to accurately describe what he was wearing. "You saw plenty! Tell me what. They. Are." The man stayed silent and then the sound of electricity going through flesh filled the room as the poor guy was shocked pretty painfully.

"Ah…Humanity."

"Wha-Wha?" the man said.

"Humanity used to be a right bestowed on all men by God. Now it is a privilege that I have to take away from those who misbehave." Robotnik looked at the Robots on either side of the man. "Prep the captive for Roboticization!"

After witnessing the death of a queen last year, you'd think I'd be prepared for anything. Wrong. Roboticization is taking an organic life form and removing what makes it organic to use as a battery. I saw it happen once during my adventures, it was awful! I couldn't let this man be used as a powerhouse just for not seeing enough!

I did the one thing I probably would regret most for not doing today. I stepped out of the shadows.

"Stop!" I yelled. Robotnik and the man both looked at me. Even the robots stopped to see what would happen.

"The White Blur!" Robotnik whispered. "You're one of Them!?"

"And proud of it!" I raised my hand and used my Telekinesis to shut the robots down by removing their power. Sonic Rushed out and grabbed the man, bringing him to our side of the room, and Shadow came out with his gun aimed at Robotnik.

"The Three Blurs all gathered on my Base!" Robotnik said. Then he smiled. "Must be my lucky day!"

I realized my mistake in stepping out of the shadows. Robotnik grabbed two Flash blasters by his side and drew them aimed them at us and prepared to fire. Shadow reacted faster than anyone else in the room. He fired at the guns, blowing them to bits, and leaving Robotnik without any way to kill us. Then Robotnik pushed a big red button on his desk. An escape capsule encased him and he sped away from the Airship. Shadow went to get all the Captives and Roboticization Victims and Sonic destroyed the power source for the ship. I just looked out the window and saw as something horrible happened below.
