A/N

Here comes another chapter for all of you out there. Hopefully this will explain the ending of last chapter.

Sally's POV:

The room was filled with silence for what seemed like hours. We were just hanging there against the wall, in the dark. I looked around and saw that Tails was bleeding profusely, Eggman must have came in while I was asleep.

"Tails..." I rasp out, he doesn't answer. "Tails!"

Still no answer, but everyone else began to stir. I kicked his leg to wake him up, but he still didn't budge. I didn't want to do it, but I called for help.

"Eggman! Help!" I shouted. He came in a few seconds later, with a few SWATbots to back him up.

"Yes, princess?" He asked in a calmly manner.

"It's Tails." I said. "He's not moving, please help him!"

The doctor sighed and snapped his fingers. "I'll see what I can do." he said unhappily.

A SWATbot approached Tails and began to remove the shackles. I looked at him and noticed a slight smile appear on his face. The moment the shackles came off, Tails sprang into action. He kicked the SWATbot in the head and flew out towards the door.

"I promise you guys," he shouted, "I'll go get help!"

"Stop him!" Eggman shouted as he ran out the door to chase him.

The rest of us were still there, just staring at the still open door. He planned that little charade just to get out of here. All we could do now was hope that Tails could get some help.

"Zat was brilliant!" exclaimed Antoine. "I don't even zhink I could have planned zomething like zat."

"I agree" said a weak Naugus. "I don't think I would have been able to pass off as dead as well as your friend did."

"Ah hope he finds someone." Bunny said.

"Please Tails..." prayed Cream, "Please be okay."

Tails POV:

I couldn't believe I pulled it off! I got out of there, almost, I still had to find a way out of this place.

I was flying down a long corridor, with several dozen SWATbots and Eggman following closely behind me. I searched frantically for a door that would lead me out.

"Get back here, you little insect!" screamed the doctor.

"I'll pass, thank you." I retorted as I found a door and slammed it in his face.

I turned to see what room I was in and noticed that I was in the council room of king Elias' castle. We were still in New Mobotropolis, I thought we were taken to New megaopolis and were in the Eggdome.

Outside the door, Eggman was breaking the door down. For a Fat guy, he sure is strong, he kicked the door down easily. But by the time he did so, I was already gone. I had found a window a few feet above me and flew out the window and flew outside.

What I saw almost put me to tears. The entire city was reduced to rubble. I didn't know where to start looking, scratch that, I never got the chance to start looking. A tremendous force slammed me into the ground.

"Chaos Spear!" Someone said.

Before I could react, several glowing green spears pinned me to the ground. The thrower's face didn't shock me, it was Shadow. He landed on top of me, and smirked and grabbed my chest fur. Several SWATbots surrounded us.

"Now what was you're plan after getting out of there?" He asked in an almost triumphant manner. "There is no one to help you."

He lifted me off the ground and into the air. "Chaos control!" he shouted.

He transported both a few hundred feet up in the air. He let go of me and transported himself back to the ground. Normally, I could use my tails to fly away, but the chaos spears pierced one of my tails, breaking it. There was nothing I could do to prevent the inevitable.

"HELP!" I screamed as I came closer and closer to the ground.

I braced for the last thing I would ever feel, but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw I was one the ground, and moving at lightning fast speed. It took me only a few seconds to realize I was being carried, by Sonic.

"Sonic!" I exclaimed, giving him a big hug as he came to a full stop.

"It's good to see you too, little buddy." he said, "Ow! Watch it, I'm still a little banged up."

"Sorry." I apologized as he put me down. "But, how did..."

"YOU SURVIVED?" shouted a now very angry Shadow the hedgehog.

Sonic stared at Shadow and gave him his natural cocky smile.

"It's gonna take a lot more to take me out, faker"

Shadow looked to Eggman, who was still astonished at Sonic's arrival. "Don't just stand there...KILL HIM!"

"All SWATbots, attack the rodent!" Ordered Eggman. All the robots obeyed and charged at us.

Before I knew it, a wall of nanites separated us from the horde. Nicole, king Elias, Amy, Knuckles and Rotor arrived. Amy and Knuckles began to distract the SWATbots while we made our escape. After disposing of a few of them, Amy and Knuckles ran off with us.

Shadow and Eggman stood there, awestruck at what just happened. Shadow transported off with Eggman. Shadow did not look to happy with the doctor.

Nicole built a tank like machine out of her nanites and we drove off in it. Sonic and king Elias began to talk.

"Nice timing as always, your highness" Sonic bowed

"Yes, but you could have waited for us to arrive and maybe we could have captured the two." The king replied.

"If I waited for you guys, Tails would have been flat as a pancake right now."

"Yeah, thanks." I said to him nervously, now realizing how close I was to death. This caused Sonic to chuckle a little bit.

"Don't worry, buddy." He reassured me, "I'll always have your back."

"And I yours." I said gratefully.

Then it hit me, I forgot the reason I escaped in the first place. "We need to go back for the others!"

"All in due time, Tails." king Elias said. "We just need to figure out a plan."

"But for all we know, Shadow killed them in his anger." I shouted, getting angrier. "I swear if he hurt Cream I'm gonna..."

Sonic put his hands on my shoulders and stopped me mid sentence. "Calm down, I'm sure they are fine."

"You don't know what they did to us, Sonic! They beat us, they tortured us."

Sonic's expression changed to a dark menacing face. He sat down next to me and stared at me.

"What did they do to Sally?" He demanded

I explained what had happened to Sonic as Nicole continued to drive us off to their base.
