Episode 35: Dark Alliance Part 3
At the Altar of the Master Emerald, Locke and Athair are with Archimedes and Spectre to discuss the situation in Echindaopolis. They discuss the election and figures the Dark Legion has something to do with it. What's more, Spectre explains to them about Haven being invaded.
"Haven has been invaded?" Locke asks.
"Yes. Haven has been invaded by the Dark Legion," Spectre says.
"This isn't good. Our most vital secrets are inside," Locke says.
"We must return to Haven and stop them," Spectre says.
Suddenly, someone calls out, "Lock! Locke!"
The three echidnas and the fire ant turn their heads to see Vector, Ray, Mighty, Charmy, and Saffron running toward them in fright.
"Locke! You gotta come with us! It's an emergency!" Chamy panics, pulling Locke's arm.
"What's wrong with you, kids?" Archimedes asks.
"Knuckles, Julie-Su, Eve, Shadow, and Cloud-Ra have been captured by the Dark Legion!" Charmy panics.
"What?!" Locke asks, shocked.
"The Dark Legion attacked us in the city," Ray says.
"Sonic and the others went to find Remington so he can help them find their base," Saffron says.
"We need your help to rescue them," Charmy adds.
"I must go find Knuckles," Locke says.
"But we don't know where they are," Ray says.
"And they probably have guards around the area," Mighty says.
"I'm afraid not. Haven has been invaded by the Dark Legion. Locke must come with me to put a stop to it," Spectre says.
Locke is not having it and angrily says, "Knuckles is now being held captive by our most dangerous enemy! How can I abandon him when he needs me the most?"
"He'll stand even less of a chance should Dimitri uncover that which we've hidden for so long, Locke! Should you go to his side and Haven fall…" Spectre says.
The next moment, everyone disappeared and reappears in an area with long pipes.
"I wouldn't lay odds on anyone's chance for survival. And your friends would aid us in regaining Haven," Spectre says.
Charmy asks, "Where are we?"
"We're in the lower levels," Archimedes says.
"Been a long time since I've been down here," Locke says.
"This is also the only area through which we can gain access with the element of surprise on our side," Spectre says, and heads off.
Locke says bitterly, "You better be right about all this, Spectre or I'll hold you responsible if anything happens to my son."
Meanwhile, Knuckles, Eve, and the others are still hanging upside down with most of their body trapped in a metal area. They watch as they see two of the Echidna cyborgs walking toward them.
The cyborg says as he approaches them, "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged. I send Xenin to get out the party message, and instead he rounds up the down-troddence, the rebels, and the undesirables."
"And who are you supposed to be? The Head Goomba, Son of Kragok," Knuckles angrily says.
Xenin angrily says, "Don't push your luck, Guardian."
"Your luck will run out more if you don't let us out," Eve says.
The cyborg smirks, "You sure are a stubborn hedgehog, child. Then again, you've been stubborn since the day we met."
"What?" Eve asks, confused.
Dimitri looks at Eve and says, "I wouldn't be surprised that you don't recognize me. However, I will never forget about you, granddaughter."
Eve looks at the cyborg and notices a familiar feature in his eyes.
Eve eyes wide in shock and softly says enough for everyone to hear, "Dimitri."
Knuckles says, shocked, "Wait! That's Dimitri."
"Indeed I am. I wouldn't be surprised for Eve to recognize me right away," Dimitri says.
Then turns to Shadow, "And I'm assuming you're Shadow. The Eldest of the present generation."
"Sorry if the meeting is mutual," Shadow says, glaring at the cyborg.
"I always knew you Echidnas were not to be trusted! You'd even turn on your own kind!" Stryker says.
Cloud-Ra glares at Stryker, "Beg your pardon?"
Xenin says, "Ah, but that's where you're mistaken, my dingo friend. I've never been the one to turn my own kind."
"Yeah right!" Knuckles angrily says.
Dimitri turns to Knuckles and says, "I see we have a dissenter!"
"You got that right! If I have my story straight… you were on track to enslave your own people until your own brother put the bag on that plan," Knuckles says.
"My late brother, Edmund, was a dupe of the state," Dimitri says.
"What?" Knuckles asks.
"The creationists running the High Council at the time still hadn't forgiven the technocracy for saving the Floating Island from the white comet, and since they were afraid that my efforts to restore the Island to its original state would upset the balance of power in favor of the technocracy, they used my brother as their tool to suppress the technology. That's what this is all about… restoring our society to the way things used to be!" Dimitri explains.
"Things used to be, huh?" Eve mutters.
"You mean we used to be a bunch of thugs who beat the weak and helpless," Knuckles sternly says.
Dimitri sighs and says, "That's the problem with the youth today… no sense of Historical Perspective."
Meanwhile in the High Councilor office, Remington meets with Benedict and Pravda. Benedict sits at the desk with Pravda standing beside him. Remington sits on a chair in front of it.
"We'd like to know what your department intends to do about the current situation," Benedict says.
"What current situation? Are you saying Echindaopolis is anything but the Epitome of peace and harmony our people believe it to be?" Remington asks.
Benedict stands up, "Touche! All right, then, allow me to lay my cards on the table. The way I see it…"
He then walks around the desk and to Remington, "Having declared he is no longer running for office. High Councilor Pravda has essentially reduced himself to the status of nonentity! Based on his reaction, it would seem my friend concurs!"
He walks behind Remington and places his hand on the chair, "As for Echidnaopolis, you are an appointed official to a non-political position! That means you can be replaced!"
He smirks and says, "I, on the other hand, in only a few short hours, will have the power to make yours a lifetime appointment. Answer-able to none, save me, and all you need to do is swear undying loyalty to me."
He walks to his his and places his hands on it.
"Isn't that counting your eaglets before they're hatched? Who's to say you'll be declared the winner?" Remington questions.
"Not who, but rather what! Thanks to the fiber-optic data transmission network installed in each and every home… not only does an election cycle occur in mere days as opposed to the weeks and months-long process in the past… but we can tap into it, affecting the final outcome! Vote early, vote, often, eh?" Benedict replies.
"Suppose I decide not to go along with the plan?" Remington questions.
"I very doubt that. Like everyone else, Constable, you have your secrets…" Benedict says.
He then shows an evil grin and says, "Something in your past… something you thought would always stay hidden… something you'd rather others never find out How much is it worth to you for it to remain a secret?"
Remington simply glares at Benedict.
"Now that we understand each other is what you will do…" Benedict says.
Back in the Dark Legion's base, Knuckles and Eve are both strapped on separate metal beds in what looks like a medical room and is full of different machines. Each of them are strapped by metal clasp. Eve and Knuckles can't break out with their strength, not even their Chaos energy works on it. Dimitri watches the two being strapped down to the table as two legionnaires each hold on to the table. Just then, two echidna doctors wearing medical masks enter the room.
Dimitri looks at the two, "You know what your problem is? You've been so conditioned to thinking only a certain way, that it's difficult for you to see the other side of the coin. That type of thinking can be dangerous… so we either deal with it or eliminate it."
"Last time I remember, you weren't too keen on our good health!" Knuckles angrily says, trying to break free.
Before Knuckles can say anymore, one of the doctors places some kind of strange face mask with a tube attached to it. Knuckles struggle, but isn't able to break free.
As he struggles, Dimitri says, "Now that you mention it, I've had more than ample time to reflect upon those early meetings. And as I endured those long months of reconstruction before old age almost took me, I realized there had to be something 'special' about you in order for you to prevail against my limitless power!"
Soon enough, Knuckles ends up falling asleep due to the strange gas on the mask.
Eve is stunned to hear Dimitri saying that, "Wha-what are you talking about?"
Dimitri places his robotic hand on Eve's cheek sending a chill on her.
"You see. I've sensed something off about you since our first encounter. You are somehow able to use the power of the Master Emerald Sword with ease, and for some reason, I sensed Echidna blood within your veins," Dimitri says.
He then places the mask with the tube on Eve's muzzle.
"When I met up with the Dark Legion, they told me interesting information about you along with your brother, Shadow. You both were created by a human scientist Gerald Robotnik who was the head scientist of the project and is also Dr. Eggman's grandfather, along with a few scientists. Cloud-Ra who was a Dark Legionnaire and a young scientist before ending up on Mobius because of a lab incident.. Your mother was an heir to a Ninja tribe in the Dragon Kingdom before it was destroyed and taken over by the one who was forced to marry. And how you both were also given the power of Chaos Control from the blood of an alien race," Dimitri says.
Eve struggles as she says, "You… sure… done… your… research…"
Before long, Eve ends up falling asleep due to the gas.
"Indeed. By learning what makes you both tick, perhaps a means can be found to restore what was once mine," Dimitri says.
Meanwhile, Shadow, Cloud-Ra, Julie-Su, and General Stryker are still caught in their prison per say. They are guarded by Xenin.
Xenin remarks, "Did you heat why dingoes are generally considered the laziest, most shiftless furballs around?"
"No!" Stryker shouts in anger.
He smacks Stryker causing him to swing around, "Because all they do is hang around." and begins to laugh at him.
"That's a real laugh-getter, alright," You normally this funny, Xenin, or what?" Julie-Su sternly remarks.
"If you didn't appreciate my sense of humor just then, how about now?" Xenin says.
Then angrily shows a blaster at Julie-Su's head, "I have this fully charged blaster on maximum setting, and I'm searching for a suitable subject to test it out on! Care to be my volunteer, Julie-Su," Xenin says.
"I wouldn't start picking on anyone here if I were you," Cloud-Ra sternly says.
Xenin turns to Cloud-Ra, "Oh really. Wouldn't you like to become my test subject? However, The Great Dimitri isn't the only one who wants you to be brought here alive."
"And who will that be?" Shadow asks.
Xenin smirks, "You'll see him soon enough."
Meanwhile, two Legionnaires are walking down the halls of Haven. They are confused to see what Haven has to offer.
"So this is Haven, eh? Seems a lot like our last set-up," One Legionnaire says.
Then the second Legionnaire says, "I thought these guys were supposed to be against us. Instead, they come across more like us."
"Don't let any of this food you. If past history is any indication, there's no love lost between sides…" The first Legionnaire says.
Before he can continue, Locke and Spectre appear beside the two Legionnaires. Locke kicks one in the face, and Spectre uses his Chaos Energy to knock him out.
"You got that right," Locke says, and see the two Legionnaires are knocked out.
"How vulgar of you, Locke! Why resort to fists when you possess the power of the Emerald?" Spectre asks.
"Because it felt more honest using my fist to do the dirty work. C'mon, the battle's only just started!" Locke says.
In the High Councilor office, Remington is still talking with Benedict about the officer he's been given.
Benedict asks, "Well Constable, what's it going to be?"
"Regardless of what you believe you may have on me, Benedict… I simply can't go along with you. Maybe it's easy for you to sell out, but I'm not willing to pay that price," Remington answers.
"What?!" Benedict shouts in rage.
Then angrily demands, "Do you realize the consequences of your decision, Remington?!"
"Yes! I do! And that's 'Constable' Remington to you!" Remington says.
He then grabs Pravda and tosses him onto Remington, "Take it up with High Councilor Pravda! He's outlived his usefulness anyway."
The next moment, Remington and Pravda are on the ground.
Benedict then decides to depart, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have an election to claim victory!"
"You're not going anywhere Benedict!" Someone calls out.
Benedict turns his head to see Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, along with Espio and Jazz who is on Sonic's head.
"Sonic? Manic? Espio? What's going on?" Remington asks.
"We like to talk to Benedict about the Dark Legion's hideout," Tails says.
Sonic angrily says, "Benedict! Your friends, the Dark Legion took my sister and our friends! Now where are they?!"
Benedict surprisingly jumps over them with no problem and runs out.
"He's getting away!" Manic says.
"Cosmo! Tails! Can you watch Pravda?" Remington asks.
"Okay," Tails says.
Remington, Sonic, and the others hurry out to capture Benedict.
As they lead, Remington calls out to an echidna at a desk, "You there! Send for the medics! High Councilor Pravda is in his office with two colleagues, and in need of serious attention!"
The group hurries outside to see Benedict already inside a Taxi and is driving away.
"Oh no! We're going to lose him!" Sonia says, worried.
Espio turns to Sonic, "Sonic! You and Jazz will go on ahead!"
"Right!" Sonic says.
His eyes turns to Jazz, "Hold on girl, we're juicing!"
Sonic the super speed to catch up with the taxi.
Manic notices a familiar taxi, "Look, I see our ride!"
Remington and the others hurry to see the taxi belongs to Harry.
Sonia says, "Harry! We need your help!"
"Hey mates, what are you doing here?" Harry asks.
"Now's not the time," Manic says, and opens the back door.
Sonia, Espio, and Manic hurry inside and close the door. Remington goes in through the front passenger side.
"Harry, we have an important job for you! Namely… follow that car!" Remington says.
"Right," Harry says.
Then mutters, "Don't ever request anything that isn't detrimental to someone's health?"
He puts the car on drive, presses the acceleration, and the car begins to drive down the street. At the same time, Sonic is already ahead and is making sure he stays on Benedict's tails from behind the taxi.
Back in the lab, the Legionnaires are scanning Knuckles first. Dimitri and the Legionnaires watch as the scanner is scanning Knuckles from above, Dimitri turns his head to see Eve in the same room, but is kept to the side. She remains unconscious with the mask on her face as well.
Suddenly, the Legionnaire notices on the screen, "Take a look, sir! The readings I'm getting from the magnetic imaging resonator are totally off the dial."
"Can you determine whether the cause for this anomaly is natural or artificial in origin?" Dimitri asks.
"Sir, the resonator doesn't show any trace of any artificial implants, enhancements or device of any kind. Not even on a subatomic level," The Legionnaire says.
Dimitri begins to question, "If Knuckles is indeed the natural source of such energy these readings indicate, he's capable of generating power akin to a Chaos Emerald. Can it be possible?"
Then thinks, "After all, I gained my power through the means of a Chaos syphon. But what if someone actually dared to bioengineer the ultimate echidna… to what limit would that individual's ability extend? And if what I'm thinking is correct, that would explain a great many things?"
Suddenly, the alarm begins to go off.
The Legionnaire panics, "Sir! The alarm!"
"Technician! What's the problem?" Dimitri demands.
"Sir, the resonator is overloading! I'm trying to shut all systems down, but nothing's working," The Legionnaire says.
In the chamber, the Chaos Energy begins to surround Knuckles.
The Legionnaire says, "Even the circuit breakers are blowing! It's as if we were plugged into a limitless power source and couldn't disconnect."
"Can we contain the power surges? Limit them only to the immediate vicinity?" Dimitri asks.
Soon, the glass begins to shatter.
The Legionnaire says, "Highly doubtful, sir! System after system is collapsing! Our entire network is now in jeopardy!
"What about Knuckles? Can we extract him safely out of the chamber?" Dimitri asks.
Unknown sir. At the present rate of radiation discharge the environment inside the chamber will be uninhabitable in less than fifteen minutes!" The Legionnaire says.
"Are there any other options still open, Technician?" Dimitri asks.
"You can either give the order to evacuate, sir… or you can attempt to destroy the source of our problem now lying in the chamber," The Legionnaire answers.
Unknown to the Dimitri and the Legionnaire, the Chaos Energy Knuckles is exposing is starting to flow around Eve and her sword. Soon, the sword begins to show a dim glow.
In the Streets of Echindaopolis, Sonic continues to follow Benedict on the sidewalk and uses his speed to keep up and remain hidden from him. At the same time, Remington and the rest are still in Harry's car. Soon, Benedict's taxi comes to a stop in front of one of the buildings. Sonic hides behind an alley and looks out to see Benedict entering the building. Soon, Harry's car comes to a stop.
Sonic rushes to the car as Sonia rolls down the window.
"Hey guys, I found another way to enter the building. Follow me," Sonic says. Then zips off down the alley.
"You heard him, Harry," Remington says.
Harry nods his head and drives into the right into the alley. Sonic continues to lead them to where they need to go.
As he drives, Harry says, "I got a baaad feeling about this, Constable. Wouldn't the smart thing to do is call your troops in for back-up?"
"Normally, it would be Harry, but right now, I'm not sure who to trust," Remington says.
"Besides, they got us to help out with this," Manic says.
"He's right. The Freedom Fighters are actually all the back-up I'm going to need at this point," Remington says.
Meanwhile in the command center of Haven, Lien-Da and Moritori receive a call from one of the Legionnaires.
The Legionnaire appears on the screen, "Come in, Kommisar! Dimitri is most anxious to hear your report!"
"Moritori Rex and I have been through this place most thoroughly, and the consensus is it would suit our needs perfectly," Lien-Da says.
"What about the Guardians? Are they accounted for?" The Legionnaire asks.
"All but two. It's only a matter of time, however…" Lien-Da says, But suddenly, the connection is cut.
"Wha?!" Lien-Da says, shocked.
Then says, "Grandfather! We lost contact with Central Command!"
"I'll wager it's our long lost birdies come home to roost! Be on guard for anything. Especially Spectre," Moritori says.
Just then, the light suddenly turns off.
"The lights! But how? Our troops are everywhere through!" Lien-Da says, panicking.
"Relax, Kommisar. I know all of their secrets, and I know how to use this labyrinth to our advantage," Moritori says, and turns on the night vision on his special lenses.
Then says, "Follow me."
Moritori begins to lead Lien-Da out of the room and into the hall.
"My special lenses allow me to compensate against the dark, enabling me to see as if it were daylight," Moritori says.
Suddenly, something begins to shine over his specks.
Moritori screams, "My eyes! I can't see!"
Spectre holds two lighters, "I've waited a long time for this, treacherous one! There's much you're going to pay for!"
"Spectre! Here to exact your revenge no doubt!" Moritori angrily says.
Locke then grabs Lien-Da from behind, "Among other things!"
"I hate to disappoint you, Locke, but, it'll be a cold day in a hot place before you…" Lien-Da angrily says.
But suddenly, she begins to lose consciousness, "See… me… beg."
Soon Lien-Da lost consciousness. Just then, the lights turn on as most of the Chaotix and the Guardians enter the room.
"Well, glad to see the mission is accomplished. We took out all the Legionnaires and saved the guardians," Vector says.
"For now everyone should be sleeping thanks to the gas canisters Spectre hooked up in the ventilation system," Mighty says.
Just then, Moritori says as he takes what looks like a gold ring from his pocket, "I won't allow you guardians and some teenagers and children capture me that easily."
He then tosses a Warp Ring behind him and goes right through. Mighty and Vector try to catch him, but the Ring is already closed.
"He got away!" Mighty says.
"He won't get far. There's still a lot of work left to do," Spectre says.
Back in the Command Center, the Chaos Energy soon begins to spiral out of control. It's not long that Eve's Chaos Energy and her sword are beginning to respond and cause a bright light in the room.
The Legionnaire shouts, "Give the word, sir, before it's too late!"
"No! They are much more valuable to me alive!" Dimitri shouts.
"But sir!" The Legionnaire speaks.
But Dimitri shouts in rage, "Do it!"
It's not long until the Legionnaires are beginning to evacuate the area.
A speaker announces, "All hands abandon stations! I repeat-all hands abandoned stations! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"
Xenin smirks, "It's been fun people, but now I have to clear the area."
"Wait! You can't just leave us here hanging like this!" Julie-Su shouts.
"Why not? All I see are enemies and traitors deserving whatever happens to them!" Xenin questions. The next moment, he presses a button allowing the cuffs to open.
Soon, Cloud-Ra and Shadow fall off.
Then says, "I do have orders however to be sure Cloud-Ra and Shadow are to be kept alive."
Then turns to the Legionnaires, "You heard the command! Everyone! Clear out now!"
"But what about Dimitri?!" The Legionnaire asks.
"Dimitri left orders that he wasn't to be disturbed no matter what, and unless you feel like sacrificing your life before it's time, I suggest you do the smart thing!" Xenin says.
The Legionnaire does what Xenin says and leaves the area.
Cloud-Ra turns to Shadow, "Shadow, I'll get Julie-Su and Commander Stryker."
"And I'll find Eve," Shadow says, and heads off.
Meanwhile, Moritori Rex enters through the ring and into the Command Center. Moritori growls as he has his hand over his eyes, and still in pain from the sudden light show. However, he is unaware that the Command Center is going to be destroyed. He removes his hands from his eyes to see his vision is starting to clear up. Suddenly, a large piece of metal falls and hits him on the head, causing him to fall. More begins to fall and becomes trapped. At the entrance to the Command Center, Benedict is running into the Center to see the Legionnaires running away.
"Hold on here! Where's everyone running off to?" Benedict asks.
He suddenly notices the exploding, "Explosions! Coming from within? What could possibly be the cause?!"
Benedict suddenly says, "My sensors indicate a surge of power on a build-up! At this rate, there'll be an immense electromagnetic pulse discharge-"
Suddenly, electricity and some strange energy begins to flow around his body. Just then, his face begins to melt as Sonic, Remington, Harry, and the others enter the room. They gasp in shock to see Benedict's face melt and reveal a metal face.
"Oh my! Benedict isn't an Echidna at all! He's a robot!" Sonia says, shocked.
"Never mind that, we got more things to worry about," Remington says.
Sonia turns her head to see Cloud-Ra typing on the controls of the system. Soon, the cuffs let go of Julie-Su and General Stryker and they fall to the ground.
Cloud-Ra runs over and asks, "Are you alright?"
"Other than a few bumps, I'm fine," Julie-Su says.
"Julie-Su. Cloud." Someone calls out.
The three turn to see Sonic, Remington and the others running toward them.
Harry says, "I see you and the troops are no worse for wear, General."
"No thanks to those monsters, "Stryker says in anger.
Remington kneels to one of the Legionnaires, "They're in shock! The Legionnaires apparently are dependent upon their enhancements for survival."
"Everything electronic in here is down and out, Constable," Cloud-Ra says.
"Right. We need to get this taken care of," Remington says.
Then turns to Harry, "Harry, go find a working phone and get the medic in here! Sonia, Manic, Cloud-Ra, Stryker, try to get as many Legionnaires as you can."
"Where do you think you're going?" Stryker asks.
"To see if I can find the cause of this mess. As well as for anyone else needing help," Remington says.
Julie-Su says, "Sonic. Dimitri has Knuckles and Eve somewhere."
"Then we better find them," Sonic says.
"Chao," Jazz replies.
Sonic with Jazz, and Remington hurry down the hall to find Knuckles and Eve. However, they look to see Shadow instead.
"Shadow!" Sonic calls out.
Shadow turns to them as they hurry over, "You surely took your time."
"Well sorry we were trying to interrogate Benedict who is a robot," Sonic says.
"A robot?" Shadow says, confused.
"Long story. We need to find Knuckles and Eve and get out of here," Sonic says.
Remington looks over, "And I think I found them."
Shadow quickly runs to the door and opens it. Sonic, Shadow, and Remington look to see both Knuckles and Eve are strapped into metal beds. Shadow rushes to get Eve unstrapped and get the mask off. Soon, she begins to wake up. Sonic and Remington do the same for knuckles and wakes up.
Knuckles begins to sit up and groans, "My head… is still ringing."
Eve sits up with Shadow's help, "I'm still dizzy. Shadow?"
"Don't worry Eve, I'm here," Shadow says, making Eve smile.
"Thank goodness you both are still alive," Remington says.
"No thanks to Dimitri," Eve says.
"Where is he anyway?" Knuckles asks.
"Good question. And probably one we won't have an answer for the time being," Remington says.
Eve shakes her head and regains her senses, "We need to get out of here."
Sonic, Remington, Knuckle,Shadow, and Eve hurry out of the room and are beginning the evacuation. As they enter the main chamber, Eve begins to hear a groaning sound causing her to stop her tracks.
Eve says, "You guys go on ahead. I think there's someone there."
"I'll go with you. The rest go on ahead," Shadow says, walking to Eve.
Sonic says, "Be careful."
Sonic, Remington and Knuckles hurry on ahead. Eve hurries to where she hears the groaning.
Shadow notices, "Eve. There's someone on the floor."
Eve and Shadow walk closer to see a dark red echidna wearing a green outfits, and familiar lenses.
"Shadow. It's… it's Moritori Rex. He's our father's father," Eve says.
Eve sees Moritori slightly moves his head and groans. She then notices the metal bars and debris that already fall on him.
"We need to get him out," Eve says.
Eve hurries over and begins to move the debris off of Moritori. Shadow is confused as to why she wants to help him, despite everything he and the Legion have done. Shadow runs over and helps move the debris. Seeing most of the debris are out, she grabs Moritori's arms and pulls him out. Shadow helps move the metal bars and debris out of the way. Shadow also helps Carry Moritori out of the debris and run out of the room as it begins to explode.
Outside the building, Sonic, Remington and the others are able to escape as well as the Legionnaires are being treated by the Echidna Medics. Sonic, Sonia, Manic, and Cloud-Ra grow concerned if Shadow and Eve are alright. Soon enough, they see the two hedgehogs exit the building with the unconscious Echidna in Eve's arm. The Hedgehogs soon sit on the ground as the others run to them to see they're okay. Of course, with Dimitri nowhere to be found… and many more Legionnaires out there, who knows what could happen next.
