RANTS AND RAVES: YAHOOOO! I'm in a damn good mood today. I got to freakout a Lieutenant Colonel by explaining to her how I dislike Officers and got to chew out a Senior Master Sergeant over him being unprofessional. His comment was 'How can you know anything about being profession?'... Hehehehe... Yeah I chewed him a new one... In a calm professional type of way. NO IT DIDN'T INVOVLE HEADS HITTING THE WALL! We are calm and polite now. We kill with niceness. Talk about evil... and here I thought I was evil. 8-D I guess I learned from the best. Now on to reviews. Today we have one from return reviewer GreyWolf99. I was once called a grey wolf but that was when I was outside and got hit by a bag of cement here on this base that is called the Wolfpack (Base nickname not base name. Look at my profile for the base name), but I'm starting to digress. Thanks for liking my story and I'm glad that your waiting for more to arrive. It will come atleast one per day but there will be a few breaks inbetween some chapters because even writers with no life need a break. Wait a moment... I think I just put myself down... OUCH! Ah well, on with todays story.

Chapter 50: Helping Hand

Shadow had to step aside from the doorway as the robots threw Sonic into the room as the both him and Tails watched the event unfold. He only took a moment to key onto what Tails was trying to do as he looked towards her, then towards the body, and finally back towards her again.

"Let us out of here!" she yelled out as she slammed the pads on the side of her hands as they were balled up in fists against the hard metal door.

"They won't listen," he said as he let out a small sigh as he turned his attention back down towards the man on the floor and began to walk over towards him. He surveyed the damage that was done to him as he got close but stopped as he got a good look at the mans face. "Tails!" he yelled hoping to get the young ladies attention as she turned towards him and noticed him bent down next to the man. "Get over here and give me a helping hand," he said as he saw her walking towards him but was laughing inside as he saw her suddenly pickup speed and quickly came to a slide on her legs as she stopped just dead of the head of the body.

"What did they do to him?" she asked as she brushed the hair out of his face as she looked over his body and noticed the many bruises and cuts that he had suffered.

"It looks like they tortured him," Shadow said as he suddenly felt the body twitch. He held onto the body as one eye slowly opened but closed as a wince of pain appeared to shot through his body.

"Take it easy, Sonic," Tails said as she got up and ran over towards the beds as she removed one of the sheets and started to tear strips off of it.

"Good idea," Shadow said as he stood up and started to look around and noticed a sink that was hidden from view by the beds that they were by, "Give me some of those strips."

"Why?" Tails asked as she stopped tearing with her teeth as dropped the cloth and looked towards the standing man.

"Nevermind," he said as he took the cloth from her hands and started to tear it like she was without having to bite into it. "Take a few cloths and get them wet with the sink behind the beds," he said as he held out one hand and pointed towards the direction of the sink. Tails was surprised that it was there because she hadn't noticed it before but dismissed it because she was still woozy at the time. She gave Shadow a nod as she grabbed a few and rushed over. Within moments, she was back with a few moist strips as she began to clean the cuts that Sonic had suffered. He winced at the movements but laid still as he opened both of his eyes this time and got a fuzzy view of Tails.

"Am I dead," he asked in a weak tone as he rolled his head to the side as his vision stayed blurry.

"Not yet," Tails said as she placed both of her hands down on his chest as she rested them there as she looked him in the face. He slowly turned his head towards her like he was in pain and a small smile came to his lips.

"Is that you Tails?" he asked as a cough came up and forced his body to arch upwards as his neck to bend back and then within moments he was back flat on the floor again.

"Rest for a bit," Tails said as she picked up a clean damp cloth and began to clean a few more cuts as Shadow took this opportunity to started wrapping up the ones that were cleaned. Tails had started with the chest and was now working on his back as they laid him on his side. After what seemed like an eternity to Tails, they finally finished fixing him up and laid him down on the bed that now had no sheets. During the time, Sonic's breathing had evened out and was now in a restful form of sleep.

"They really did a number on him," Shadow said as he leaned up against the wall in a sitting position as he had his head dipped down low while his elbows laid bent upon his knees. After a few moments of silence, he slowly brought his head up and glanced at the clock. It read 9:37. He took a wild guess as it was still P.M. and looked towards Tails as she sat with Sonic's head on her lap as she played with his hair as he slept. 'I really miss you, Mona,' he thought as he looked towards the ceiling but almost jumped when she actually gave him a response.

'You sound like your in trouble,' her thought answered as he looked around the room but then remembered about his telepathic link with her. He hadn't had to use for a long time and this time he was glad that it really didn't have a distance barrier.

'Heres the laydown,' he said as Tails looked his way and he laid on his very determined, confident look on his face as his eyebrows dropped and a half smile overtook his lips. Tails understood just what was going on as she looked towards him and she looked down towards Sonic with a smile of her own.

'Well I'm waiting,' she said back to him as he almost jumped again but kept his composer.

'Me, Tails and Sonic have been captured...' he started to say but was mentally interrupted.

'What the hell do you mean by 'Captured'?' she asked him as he could feel the hostility in her thoughts.

'Long story short. We got jumped as the gang went under and Sonic was apparently in the wrong space at the wrong time. Like usual,' he replied back as he turned his attention towards the doorway and watched for any movement to occur because he heard some sounds behind it.

'I'm sending help,' she said as he could tell she was thinking of the number for her to call.

'We are near the south side of Honolulu,' he thought back as he watched the bottom of the door slide up and two plates of food were set down as it closed shortly afterwords. Shadow just stood up and walked over towards the food and picked up a plate and carried it over towards Tails and set it beside her, then he walked over and picked up his own.

'Are you all alright?' Mona asked back over the telepathic link as she signaled that she was done with the call.

'Hold on and I will send you a mental picture,' he said as he closed his eyes and pictured in his mind the sight he had just saw. He heard a mental gasp from Mona as she viewed the picture in her mind.

'Is he okay?' she asked in a hurry as she saw the picture of Sonic being injured.

'If he's really anything like me then he will be just fine,' he replied back as he started to eat his meal as the night came to a close and outside Knuckles started to look or a way in.

'This place is like Fort Knox,' he said as he began to circle around the south side to look for an entry point. He quickly dashed around a part of the walls corner as he spotted to guards near a doorway into the building. He pecked around the corner and suddenly noticed that they were now gone. "This place is giving me the creeps," he said as he wrapped around the corner.

"Your not the only one," a female voice said as he jumped almost three feet into the air as he quickly turned around and saw both Rouge and Gyia standing behind him. They both had smiles covering faces.

"What are you two doing here?" he asked in a shushed voice as he stepped back into them and hid in the corner of the wall connections.

"Did you really think we would fall for such a simple trick?" Rouge asked as she tapped him upside the head with her knuckles as a sly yet understanding look came about her face.

"And did you really think we didn't know where you were going?" Gyia asked as she stood behind Rouge and tapped her foot upon the ground.

"I'm in trouble again when we get home, eh?" he said in a sheepish tone as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand.

"Once we get home but as of right now," Rouge said as she slipped a few daggers out of her backpack that she was carrying along with a pair of spiked steel knuckles which she handed to Knuckles. The daggers, she gave to Gyia while she strapped on a metal overplate that was made to fit her boots over her footwear on both of her feet.

"Everyone ready to go?" Knuckles asked as he started to crack his knuckles in anticipation.

"Let's go save them already," Gyia said in a bored tone as she held the daggers in a ninja type fashion as the blades faced behind her as she rushed towards the door and in a few moments, the guards where down on the ground all cut apart. "Looks like we don't have to be careful as to where we cut," she said with a smile as she came back to them, "The guards look to be artifical."

"Payback time," Knuckles said as this time he took the lead and with the help of the others, crashed through the first gate only to find that there was another one right in front of them. The only difference was this one had a metal frame and a digital lock.

End Chapter 50

(YAWN!) I called out as a deep yawn came to my throat as I sat in front of the editing computer as its screen blinked the saving icon.

"Are you finished yet?" Gyia asked as she walked in behind me and looked to see the icon blinking.

"Almost," I said as I turned the chair around and saw that she was still in her skin tight outfit. A small blush came to my face as I quickly swung back around and faced the computer again.

"What was that blush for?" she asked as she looked towards me in surprise.

"Remember what happened to Janet Jackson during her and Justin Timberlakes Superbowl Excursion?" I asked as I continued to stare at the computer screen as if it was the greatest thing in the world.

"What about it?" she asked as a confused look took her face.

"Look down at yourself," I said as I continued to not face her.

"Oh boy," she said as she looked at herself as the camera took a view of her face as it took a rather large look of shock. (By the way, the camera never got a look at what I saw so this story is still T rated.)
