Sticks wandered back into camp knowing her destiny was drawing closer, encompassing her beliefs to thwart Eggman and remove his base within Tropical Jungle. All eyes were on her as she had to deliver a speech both in a formal way in which a leader would, but also informal as to stay true to herself. Cronos recently tagged with her for a short while, alas the echidna taking a glaring at the lock he had to break for them to smash their way in. It was all on the badger - either she had to announce their tactic or it would be too late to sneak up on the doctor. Sticks could the mobians stare down at her, one by one she looked at them and thought to herself if this was going to be worth it. She only lead Team Sticks when it just Amy and herself, so having more than just the pink hedgehog around made her a tad nervous.
"Uhhh...Okay guys!". The badger paced back and forth around one side of the camp, all the while Tangle, Tempest and the other mobian members glanced at her next move. "Cronos and I checked out the mysterious base and we think we found something that might be an alternative while Cronos figures out the combination".
"How would you know if Cronos fails to actually break open the combination?". Tangle asked, the lemur feeling the nerves getting to her a little.
"I-man know how lock wuk! I and I gonna bruk us inna deh deh!". The echidna answered to the camp. This put the pressure away slightly, but Eggman was the real concern.
"But will the doctor be inside?". Shadow was beside Whisper at the back of the group.
"I'm going to get to that, Shady Desu. Eggman might be inside, he might be expecting us to bash his brains in. There might be badniks for us to destroy! That's why I'm telling you now instead of later!".
"If he's so expecting us to inspect his mechanical abode, I may have to bring the Wispon with me if so be it". The wolf answered.
"Bring it anyway! It's Eggman, What do ya expect?". Sticks was lacking hesitance from the amount of times she had to battle Eggman on Bygone Island. "Anyhow, we need to head there later to give him a nice surprise, say he's ruining the scenery and atmosphere of the place I call home!".
"What shall I do, Sticks?". Shadow remained calm while speaking to one of his advisories.
"Distract Eggstain while you can. I always leave you as bait anyway".
Tangle chuckled, the black hedgehog knowingly turning his head toward the lemur in disgust.
"That isn't funny!".
"Heh. Tangle gets the joke... Okay gang! We need to give him some time before we need to head there! Who's with me!".
The badger jumped forward and placed her hand above one of the logs. Tempest, Tangle, Whisper and Amy rapidly joined her with Cronos and DonutSteel a little later. Shadow folded his arms and turned back, not finding the sudden joke that Sticks made to him. The badger turned to him, as did the other camp members. He was already fuming from the insides from the fact that he was stuck in a camp after finding an unexpected arrival a sudden invite.
"Are you with us or not, Shady Desu?".
"Enough with that name! I pity your lackluster decision to infiltrate the doctor like this".
"Okay, Shadow! Are you with us or not? Our arms are getting tired".
"Hmph! Guess I haven't really got a choice, have I?". He turned to the group and walked up. He lifted his gloved hand toward the pile of hands ready to be thrown in the air and hovered over Cronos' hand. Sticks had a feeling that they were going to win, but at the same time it was going to be difficult given Shadow's current mood. She signaled the team to throw their arm in the air and unanimously agree together their mission, kicking off the beginning of the end of the jungle base that Eggman planted within Tropical Jungle.
Team Sticks: Sticks the Badger, DonutSteel the Hedgehog, Tangle the Lemur, Whisper the Wolf, Tempest the Dolphin, Amy Rose, Cronos the Echidna, Shadow the Hedgehog.
