Amy nods at the robot and turns to everybody else before speaking. "We should go towards Eggman's base, take him down, and get my Sonic back! Are you guys with me?"

"Yeah!" They all cheer.

"Ok! Tanaka, Ella, Charmy and Vector will be on one team, Me Rouge, Espio, and the robot on the other." Amy then turned to Dr. Greg, a hopeful expression evident on her face. "Im- We're trusting you to stay with Cream, keep her safe until she wakes up. Ok? Can we trust you?" She asked, tone suddenly serious.

"Oh my degree and life miss." The doctor smiled warmly back.

Amy nodded and walked towards the door, taking the spot as leader. "Okay, guys! Let's go!"

Everyone races after her. Ready to give all they could to try and save their friends.

In a quick, though steady pace, the group marches to Eggman's base, finding several piles of destroyed robots. "Must've been Shadow and Knuckles..." The hedgehog mused aloud, looking around for any sign of the enemy. Luckily, there were none. "We're clear, guys. Now, into Egghead's base!"

"Just be careful, in case more are inside." Espio warned.

Amy nodded and led the group towards the 'front door'. As they walked inside, she put her fingers up to her lips and whispered. "Okay, guys. Into your groups and split up!"

"Aye!"

"Eggman will not know what hit him." Omega started.

The pink hedgehog nodded towards the robot, slightly smiling. "Like that enthusiasm, uhm...what is your name?"

"E: 123 Omega."

Amy paled slightly though quickly recovered, returning to the task at hand. "O-ok, we'll rendezvous back here. Good luck everyone!" With a silent nod, they all split up, traveling to their assigned sectors of the base.

"This place is really creepy..."

"Second that."

"Scanners are primed." Omega replies.

She looked at Omega, confused, but shook it off. "Espio, can you scout ahead for any boobytraps?"

"Of course. If you'll excuse me." The chameleon nods, then he vanished from their sight.

Amy looks at where the chameleon once was before looking down the metallic silver halls for anything that would seem... out of place, per say.

It takes a few minutes but Espio returns. "Its clear for the next few hallways."

Amy nods with a smile. "Thanks Espio." Waving to Rouge and Omega, they advance down the hallway.

Omega stops them with his hand. "Sensors are picking up two fiqure up ahead."

Amy paused and narrowed her eyes, trying to see wat was up ahead. "Can you tell who it is?"

"Reference scans suggest Echidna and Hedgehog. Likely subject Knuckles the Echidna and secondary subject possibly Shadow the Hedgehog."

Her eyes widened some, gaining a fear-filled expression, before getting a determined look. With that, she turned to the robot. "Is there any traps around them, Omega?"

"Negative."

"Okay. Come on, guys!" She jogged over to the two, looking around warily before putting a hand on Knuckles' shoulder, lightly shaking it. "C'mon Knuckles, wake up!"

"Ugh...what hit me?" Knuckles sat up slowly with a groan.

"Im not sure, but we need to wake Shadow and save Sonic!" The hedgehog explained.

Rouge walked over to the unconscious hedgehog, shaking his shoulder. "Wake up, hun. We need to go stop the doctor."

"Rah!" Shadow shot up and punched the air. Then looked around with a glare and a sigh. "No one saw that."

Knuckles looks the group when suddenly it looked like her just remembered something. "We got it! Before we were knocked out. Me and Shadow had figured out a way to get Sonic under control for awhile!"

Both females giggled into their hands at Shadow's actions (Rouge wishing she had brought her camera) and Amy turned to Knuckles as he spoke. "That's great! What do we have to do?" She asked him.

"It's rather embarrassing it too so long to fiqure out." Shadow says. "We need to fill him with positive chaos energy enough for Sonic to gain control to find a more permanent method."

Amy nodded and looked to Rouge, who nodded as well. It was pretty understandable, if you thought about it...

"We need to hurry either way."

"Right. Do you know where they are, Espio?" They asked the chameleon.

"No. But we're bound to be close."

"Any moment now..." The man put his fingers together, a grin on his face. Watching a computer monitor counting down: 23.592 minutes remaining.

As the obese human and the robot worked together, Chris sighed deeply. He knew it wasn't good that he'd given Eggman the emeralds, but it wasn't like he had a choice in the matter. It wasn't clear what the doctor was planning to do but clearly it wasn't anything good.

The suspense was gnawing at his mind...
