Chapter 12: A Tangoto Hello
Nicole walked with Lex to the village as the clouds started to form around Mobius. It seemed that Nicole had previously fought with Sonic and the gang and was a great friend of theirs. She was an AI but she felt like anyone else after some self-developments and was proud to call herself a Mobian. One day though launched his whole fleet towards the town and so Nicole had to use all her power to provide a strong enough shield for the other Mobians. This caused Nicole to shut down all her systems and turn herself into a rechargeable form.
Nicole had felt surges of electricity trying to power her up again but they were not enough to power her up fully. She was keen to meet her friends after the long wait and was curious about what had happened whilst she was gone. Lex tried to describe the events of what had happened recently, including Amy's sudden disappearance and Sonic's worry. The town was in view now and the wind was blowing hard.
Lex feeling recognition of some sort looked towards the sky, only to see his own personal horror. "RUN!" He shouted at Nicole whilst pushing her towards the town. Nicole tripped over and turned over to see a large dark red battle-cruiser flying through the clouds aiming its blaster-cannons towards her.
It fired and a large amount of electricity hurtled towards Nicole. Lex jumped in-front of Nicole Just as the electricity had reached her. Nicole stared up at Lex in total confusion as he looked down sadly back at her. He turned around and looked up at the cruiser with pure hatred in his eyes. Lex charged up the electricity in his fists and started running in the direction of the cruiser.
Lex had feared this moment would come but he couldn't do anything about it now, he just had to fight. As Lex gained speed he jumped and used his electricity to boost himself towards the cruiser. Once within five meters of the ship Lex shot his electricity towards the cruiser and one by one all the engines started to fail. Lex started to fall towards the ground but used a tree to comfort his fall.
Nicole, now on her feet, ran towards Lex and helped him off his feet. "Are you okay and what's going on?!" Nicole said to Lex, he replied with an obvious sadness in his voice "No time to explain, we just have to get to the others before it's too late." Lex started running towards the town as Nicole grumbled to herself as she followed Lex. Whatever was going on, Nicole knew that Lex had something to do with it.
