Soaring through the air to their destination over the ocean as Sonic, Tails and Wally sit in the aircraft waiting room to arrive. Zeke on the meantime plays pretend tour guide on the speakers. "On the left, you'll see some water. On the right, you'll see water but if you see to the left again you'll see some more amazing wa…ter… Huh? Oh… OH F&$%" The speaker cuts off as everyone feels the sudden pull of the aircraft turning right causing things to fly off the shelves.

Unfortunately… being asleep …Sonic also goes flying off his seat, landing on the floor. "Oww… What happen… did we crash?" He mutters in a daze.

The speakers activate again. "Umm… sorry about that. Forgot about the forest. We'll be there in a second."

"Geez… didn't knew… this flight was going to be bad for my health."

With a huge smile on his face, Tails watches Sonic groggily moans in pain, trying to get back onto his seat. "Now are you going to put on your seatbelt?"

Sonic mocks back making fun of his voice. "Now are you going to put your seat belt on?" He sits back down, clipping his seatbelt on and tries to relax.

Wally tries so hard not to laugh at Sonic as Tails makes fun of him. The way they treat each other… kinda like… as if they're related? …Brothers? His head begins to hurt as he places his hand to it. A memory of a Pink Hedgehog appears sitting in a hospital bed. Who was that?He looks over to Sonic taking a nap.

He then sees Tails stretch out his leg and adjusts his bandage on it. Once he finishes, he looks up at him and then quickly looks away. He was beginning to realize something weird was going on. Wondering why Tails just keeps looking at him. He then looks at both of them and asks. "So… how did you guys manage to find me at Nue Heaven?"

"You're tracking device. It was activated." Tails answers.

"Activated?" Remembering about the little device at Molly's place. He goes through his pocket taking it out and shows it to him. "This?"

He looks at it and smiles. "That's it. That's what led us to find you." He takes out his tracker, showing it to him.

Looking at it he sees three dots on it. "So we all got one?"

"Yup, I'll be able to pinpoint our location at any time."

"Really?" He says looking at his lit up device. He then puts it right back into his pocket.


They land near a landing strip as everyone exits out of it.

Sonic yawns while stretching, "Are we even close to the spot that we need to check?" He asks.

"Not even close. It's still a long walk from where we need to go." Tails answers looking at his locator.

"It's a good thing you brought that truck." Zeke mentions.

Wally getting surprised, hoping it's not what he means. "Wait… a what?"

"That truck you've brought with you. I put it into the aircraft." Zeke points to the Aircraft. "Isn't that why you brought it for?"

"Hah, Sweet." Sonic pats him in the back. "No need for you to walk now."

Wally groans. "Forget about being safe at the base." He mumbles as they head to the truck but then Wally raises his hand up for them to stop.

Sonic and Tails getting alerted. "Wha, what is it?" Sonic says.

"Just one sec." Wally looks forward, down and all around him. "Any second now… any second-" He turns around and points next to Sonic being angry.

Sonic looks and sees Peanut standing right next to him. Sonic just stares, "Wow… neat trick. How'd you do that?"

Wally walks up to Peanut grabbing ahold of him and takes him back to the aircraft. "Don't you even think about it."

"Aww, C'mon Wally." Peanut pleads.

"Nope, I don't think so. This is something you don't want to be a part of. So you stay right here." He puts him down next to Zeke.

Sonic begins to say while chuckling "Reminds me of how I used to be when-" Wally shoots him a glare. "Don't encourage him."

"How did you know I was even around?" Peanut says crossing his arms.

"I'm so used to it already that you can call it a 6th sense." He says walking away.

Peanut pouts watching them get on the truck and leave.

Zeke laughs looking at Peanut. "He's just looking out for you."


Driving to their destination Wally drives, Tails sits in the passenger seat while Sonic sits on the cargo bed. It was silent between everyone, but while Wally drives… from the corner of his eye… he catches Tails looking at him. Slightly getting annoyed, he asks. "Like I told Sonic… Will you stop looking at me?"

Ashamed being caught. "Sorry." And then asks. "Are you doing alright?"

Wally taps on the steering wheel and answers. "How would you feel… if everyone looked at you like they know you, but you can't do the same back to them?"

"I'd be feeling like you right now, but sooner or later you'll remember everyone again."

He shakes his head. "That's the problem. By the end of it, I'm not the one that's going to be doing it."

"Whatever he said probably isn't even true. He was just trying to scare you." Tails says back.

"Yeah, that's what bad guys do." Sonic says in the back. "They get into your head. Make you worry. What matters right now at this very moment is that you're here doing it."

Wally keeps looking forward.

"He's right. What matters now is making the best of whatever is ahead of you. We're not the ones forcing you to be here… or did we?" Tails asks.

Wally shakes his head. "No. I decided to go on my own. To find the part of myself that's missing; the person that everyone's looking for."

"YEAH! That's the spirit." Sonic stands up on top of the cargo bed. "Now let's go kick some BOA butt."

"We're almost there too. It's right next to those trees." Tails points to the side of the road.


Wally parks near a couple of trees. They get out and as Sonic and Tails make their way to the forest… Sonic stops and pokes Tails shoulder to get his attention. He looks away from his tracker sees him pointing back with a smile. They both watch Wally covering the truck with large leaves and anything he can get his hands on to hide it. Sonic smirks. "He really likes that truck."

Wally backs off making sure that the truck is safe and hidden.

"You really like that truck of yours." Sonic says.

Wally explains with sadness in his tone, "It's not mine. It belongs to someone that told me to take care of it… I'm making sure that I do." Wally gives the truck one last look and walks away with Sonic and Tails into the forest.


Sneaking into the dense forest, Tails keeps track of their location making sure not to lose where they are. The deeper they go into the forest, the harder it gets not to get confused where they're going. They stay close together until Tails sees something odd. "Is that it?" Tails asks. A building that can barely be seen was just ahead of them. It was perfectly camouflaged within the forest. "That's it, we've found it." Tails says again looking at a small building with about ten BOA soldiers walking around. He puts down the location on his tracking device. "Wow… It's no wonder why the Resistance can't find them. We were about to walk right by them."

Sonic stretches and says looking at Tails. "I'll go check around and see how well armed they are."

Tails nods agreeing.

Wally staring at them, he sees Sonic lift his fist. Tails then raises his fist and connect with it doing a fist bump. Sonic then runs off as Wally just stands there silently staring at nothing as memories swarm into his mind. He clenches his hand into a fist and holds it out. He looks down at his fist and remembers holding it out… and at the end of it Tails appears… and every time Tails just walks away from it… over… and over… and over again, until… Tails just stands there with his head down. He looks up at him wiping his tears away. He raises his fist and finally gives him a fist bump. Once Tails connects, he then sees his fist bursting into particles. It runs up along his arm then throughout his whole body causing him to vanish from sight. He begins to panic snapping out of it looking everywhere breathing heavily. He looks at his hands then on himself checking if everything's alright. He looks at Tails and sees him staring right back at him being silent and concerned about how Wally was reacting and knowing why. "Why?" Asking desperately. "Why you? Why do I see you the most? What do you have to do with Chris?"

He looks at Wally and confesses, "He… He saved me. He stopped me from…" He looks away and stares at the ground. "He stopped me from sacrificing myself. He figured out what I was planning on doing and he stopped me. I was going to stop Infinite but Chris… he's the one that sacrificed himself to do it instead." A tear runs down his face. "He saved me… from myself…" He looks right back to Wally. "and in return I had to stand there and watch him fade away. That was one of the hardest things I had to deal with. No matter how much I tried… I could never get over it for what he did for me."

Wally stands there listening to what he just said and looks at his fist again. He opens it up and crosses his arms knowing more and more about Chris as time goes by.

Seconds later Sonic comes back excited with a smile on his face. "Guess what… they're not armed. None of them are. It's like some weird ammunition building. We can just go in and clean house."

Tails nods and walks to Sonic after giving Wally a depressed glance about what he confessed about.


Sonic and Tails get out of hiding and head to the Ammunition Building. Sonic notices Tails still limping and also being unhappy. Being concerned he stops and asks. "You doing alright? You can stay back and let us handle this one."

"I might not be able to run but my tails are working just fine." He looks at the building. "I just need to get inside there."

"Alright, just as long… as…-" Sonic looks all around him. "Wally?"

They look back.

"Good luck. Show them whose boss… I'll be rooting for you two." Wally says at a distance hiding.

Sonic looks at Tails then looks back at Wally giving him a smirk.

Wally being concerned. "Shit, I don't like that look."

Sonic rushes to where he is grabbing and dragging him to the Ammunition Building. "Get going. Trust me. It's going to be fun."

"Oh, bull-shit. Easy for you to say."


Wally just stands there in the open while Sonic and Tails rush into action attacking everyone in sight. Alarms ring out warning them that they're being under attack. More of them come out to defend themselves and even though Sonic said that they weren't armed they did have knives but Sonic just zips back and forth in incredible speed disarming them and knocking them out with ease.

Wally still just standing around not knowing what to do… one of the soldiers spots him and makes his way to him. "Oh shit…" He says looking around for a weapon since he forgot his crowbar in the truck.

"Crap… stay calm." The soldier gets into a fighting stance approaches him. "Stay calm." Wally puts his hands up trying not to get hit but it wasn't enough. The soldier does two quick jabs knocking his hands away and then does a hard right hook straight between the eyes.

Everything… goes… black.

"What's… what's going on? I-I can't see. I can't… Am I… dead?" Trying to remain calm as he slowly gets his vision back… but he's not outside anymore. Looking all around he says. "Where am I? How am I in a building… a hallway?" He was standing in a lightly lit hallway of a building. He looks down on himself. "Wha?... What am I wearing?" He notices that he's wearing a black combat vest, black teared shorts and weird looking shoes on. Still hearing ringing in his ears from the punch, he shakes his head for the pain to go away. He then hears footsteps ahead of him making him look up and across the hallway. Looking ahead he can see a figure in the dark. From the darkness the figure takes a step forward showing himself and gets into a fighting stance.

"Sonic? Where are we… where am I?"

Sonic gives him an angry stare clenching his fist. "You're going to pay for what you did to her."

Feeling himself beginning to panic… but somehow he knew… it wasn't coming from him. "What do you mean? What did I do? …No… what did 'he' do?" Wally asks as he hears another voice in his head say. "I didn't do it."

Sonic shouts back in anger, "YOU'RE NOT TRICKING ME!" He runs right at him and attacks him. Wally puts his arms up trying to block and dodge his attacks.

"Why is he mad at me?" His head begins to hurt as memories enter his head, figuring out why. Memories of someone getting shot, getting blamed for it and fighting Sonic. He hears the voice in his mind saying "I didn't do it." over and over getting louder. He looks at Sonic and sees him throwing a punch at him. With instinct taking over… he ducks the punch and jabs him in the ribs then tries to kick him away… but connects to his leg instead. Sonic yells out in pain and collapses to the floor rubbing his leg for the pain to stop. Putting his guard down, he gets worried, "Am sorry. Are you okay?"

Sonic looks back up angry and lunges at him again throwing another punch. Wally… just stands there and does nothing. Nothing at all. He puts his arms to his sides and all he does is close his eyes as the punch connects to his face.

Once he opens his eyes he staggers back. He looks and sees that he's back outside fighting a different Soldier. Taking a deep breath and rubbing the side of his face angry at what just happened. "Son of a… F&$% these memories." He looks at the BOA Soldier frustrated and backs off into a defensive boxing stance getting ready. The Soldier punches as he blocks it and jabs him in the ribs. The soldier backs off and punches again only to be blocked and punches right back, hitting him in the exact same spot in his ribs. He then quickly rises up and punches him in the face. The Soldier swings back but Wally ducks and hits him in the ribs then to the face again to daze the soldier. Wally then pulls his right arm back and swings one last time, punching him in the face knocking him out.

Once it was all over… Wally just stood there looking down at the unconscious Soldier. Hearing a groan to his left, he turns and sees another Soldier unconscious. "What the…" He turns to face the other way, and sees the first Soldier that punched him in the face also unconscious. Then… he completely turns around seeing another two Soldiers the exact same way… being unconscious. In disbelief, it dawned on him. "He did this…-" He looks at his hands. "-while I was out cold?" From his hands he looks straight forward seeing Sonic just standing there watching what he just did.

Wally stares right back at him and asks. "How is… how is Amy doing, is she ok?"

Sonic smiles and nods, "Yeah, she's doing great."

He looks at his fist again, "Do you still want that 2nd round?"

Sonic smirks back giving him a thumbs up. "All depends if you still need those shoes."

"To keep up with your speedy ass then yeah." He says back as he looks down at the soldiers again.


Tails enters the building to examine what's so important about this place. He walks into a research room with computers and a table in the center. On the table laid three different guns and what looks like a bullet. Tails approaches the bullet and looks at it. The bullet had a purple tint to it. It had a flat bottom, long oval body with shard ridged points at the end.

He looks back at the three guns and picks up the hand gun for normal 9mm rounds. He loads it into the gun perfectly fine. He then takes it out and sees the Sniper rifle. "High caliber round." He looks back down to the table seeing no other bullet for the rifle. He then looks at the bullet he has in his hand and then back to the rifle. "No… can it?" Picking up the rifle he looks at the bullet and attempts to put it… but bullet expands and morphs perfectly fine into it as well. "What? How is that possible?" He looks back at the hand gun. "What?" Then he looks at the SMG. "No…-" Small caliber round gun. Quickly ejects the bullet out and slowly puts it into the SMG.

The bullet shrinks and goes into it. Quickly removing it he puts it back down on the table staring at the bullet as it reverts back to normal right in front of his eyes.

"This is incredible. How can a bullet be shot from any gun?" He reads through notes about the bullet explaining about it. "Hmm, it's still not perfect. From weapon to weapon it works but firing it still has… what?" He looks at the bullet. "Has problems performing at the speed of light?" He shakes his head. "No… are these bullets being made to hit… Sonic? I have to go warn him." He rushes out of the building.


Getting out of the building Tails flies to Sonic. "Sonic, check this out." He hands him the bullet.

He looks at it and tosses it back. "It's a bullet. Big deal."

Annoyed by his arrogance, "It's not just ANY bullet. It's a specially MADE bullet."

"So what. No matter what it is, I can still dodge it." Sonic quips back.

"Not this kind. Not if it moves at the speed of light like you do. In other words for you to understand; It won't matter how fast you run. Whoever is making this… is still going to be able to hit you." Tails warns.

Sonic loses his smile. "So now what? We need to figure out how they're-"

"NO WAY!" Tails shouts surprised looking at the bullets purple tint glowing. He raises it at the sun. "IT IS!" He holds it up to the sun to look through it. "It's… its purple particles. It's inside the bullet."

"How are they getting their hands on that kind of stuff?" Sonic asks.

"Easy. Who's the only person that can make it in the first place?" He asks back.

They both answer. "Infinite."

Tails turns to look deeper into the forest. "We just have to find where they're located."

Sonic also looks deeper into the forest being concerned, now that he knows Infinite is back. "Their base is located and hidden somewhere in the forest."

"H.Q to Sonic, are you there? This is an emergency. Over?" A Resistance Responder calls out from his communicator.

He quickly answers back. "Sonic here, what's the emergency?"

"That Pilot that flew you over to your destination? He's been shot down trying to fly over the forest. We've lost all traces of him when he crashed somewhere deep into it."

"NOO! SHAWN!" Wally shouts looking deeper into the forest worried.

"I'm on it." Sonic quickly answers back to his communicator and gets ready to rush into the forest.

"NO, STOP!" Wally warns Sonic.

Sonic quickly stops. "Why?"

"You can't just run into the forest."

"Why not?" Sonic eager to run into the forest looking into it.

"Why? It's the forest. What do you think is going to happen if you just run into it?"

Tails knowing that it's true, he looks at the bullet in his hand. He also had to warn him. "He's right. You can't run in there. It'll get to the point where everything starts looking the same." He shows him the bullet again. "These bullets aren't perfected yet but if they are now… If you run in there, there's a good chance that you're not coming back out of it."

"Take out your tracker." Wally anxiously asks.

"Why?" He wonders taking it out of his pouch.

"Look for me." He request looking deeper into the forest.

Tails looks at it. "Wha?" He looks back at Wally then looks towards the east figuring out why. "You put it on him."

Wally staring into the forest. "We'll have to be careful stepping in there." He turns back to Sonic and Tails being concerned about Peanuts safety. "That's their territory and their playground." He sighs. "We have to be careful going into the forest and hope that their okay."

Rewind Back to Zeke and Peanut

Zeke and Peanut watch as they leave down the road. Zeke pats Peanut on the shoulder to cheer him up. He points to the aircraft. "I got a couple of board games to play while we wait."

"Sure, why not?" They both head into the aircraft and bring out a couple of board games outside. Game after game Zeke gets beat every single time. "You're not very good at these kind of games." Peanut mocks.

"You're just picking the games that I suck at playing." He says annoyed. As there picking up the pieces to put the game away, Zeke then asks. "How did you manage to bump into him?"

Peanut stops to think about it. "Wally? He just showed up in town one day. He didn't know who he was. No family. No friends. Nothing. He just looked lost and lonely. Almost like me. I have no friends… or a brother's and sister's… so I just followed him around and stayed around him. Let him know that he's not alone." Once done putting the game away, he then asks. "How do you know Wally?"

"Umm, I don't really know him in person, but the guys sure knows how to… well… pop up out of thin air." He tries to come up with an answer without letting him know that he was presumed dead. "Go get another game to play." He says to change the subject.

"Peanut gets up. "Which one do you want to lose at?"

He taps on the table irritated. "Oh, it's on. Go get the one with the ladders… NO! The one with the candy."

Peanut heads back to the air craft but then hears a clicking sound behind him. "Hmm?" He turns around and sees someone standing right behind Zeke pointing a gun to his head. Zeke slowly raises his hands up while looking at Peanut. "No… Not again." He whimpers.

The BOA soldier waves at Peanut to come to him and makes Zeke stand up. Peanut just stands there and stares back. The BOA soldier smacks Zeke over the head with the gun. "Come here or next one I'll shoot him."

Peanut slowly takes a step forward and looks at Zeke, seeing his lips saying. "Look away." And in an instant, he elbows the gun, pushing it away and quickly tackles him to the ground wrestling with the gun. While wrestling on the ground, The Soldier manages to punch him in the side of the ribs.

Wincing from the punches, he manages to roll on top of him. He takes a moment to look directly into his eyes… and then proceeds to head bunt directly between them. Knocking the Soldier senseless, he slowly wins the struggle with the gun. Bit by bit he points it under his jaw inch by inch… He pulls the trigger firing a shot up his jaw and out the back of his head it goes.

He staggers to his feet breathing heavily. He looks down and grabs the gun off the ground. He checks himself and sees that his white shirt has bits and pieces of the soldier's head on himself and also big blood splatter along his chest. "Oh shit…" He tries wiping it off, smearing and making it worst. "Son of a…" He stops himself from swearing and remembers about Peanut. He looks to check how he is… but Peanut was just staring with his eyes wide open at the BOA Soldiers dead body. …"Hey?"

Peanut turns to look at him not saying anything.

"Are… you alright?"

Peanut nods still startled from what he just saw him do.

Wondering if he came alone, he hears someone next to his aircraft. "Stay behind me."


Slowly walking around the craft he sees another BOA soldier messing around with an open hatch. Getting angry he yells out pointing the gun at him. "GET THE F&$% AWAY FROM MY PLANE!"

The BOA goes for his gun but Zeke fires back a couple of rounds hitting him and ends one in the head.

He runs to see what he just did and steps on gasoline. "Shit, he cut the gas line."

"LOOK! ZEKE LOOK!" Peanut shouts pointing.

Zeke looks and sees even more BOA S.U.V's heading their way. "Get onboard. We're leaving now." He says running, getting in.

Turning on the Aircraft he looks at the gas meter watching it slowly getting to empty. "I can't go the long way. I have to go over the forest." He looks at the road seeing the BOA get closer and closer. "DAMMIT!"

"STRAP YOUR SELF IN!" Putting the Aircraft in motion as it slowly gains speed.

They hear gun fire hitting the aircraft. "They're almost right next to us." Peanut warns.

Speeding down the air strip as fast as he can make the Aircraft go, they take flight and begin to fly over the forest.

Trying not to be scared, Peanut says, "That was close. They were right next to the plane. Are we safe now?"

He doesn't answer Peanut's question being worried. He was doing what he shouldn't be doing… that's flying over the forest. He begins to silently chant, "Please don't shoot me… Please don't shoot me. C'mon, c'mon." mid-way over the forest he sees the ocean. "Yes… c'mon-" He sees something green fly up into the air. "Aww shit… please don't be a-" The green shoots out smoke and turns heading his way. Staring at the missile he whispers, "Am sorry Zander." He takes a deep breath and braces for impact.

The missile makes contact causing him to loose altitude slamming back into the ground destroying trees along the way. The craft comes to a stop. Touching all over himself to see if he's hurt, but just a couple of scratches and soreness. He gets up and checks on Peanut. Peanut unbuckles himself showing that he's okay. Staggering out, they look around. "Shhh, quiet." He says hearing a vehicle coming their way. "Quick, go hide."

"But what-" Zeke interrupts him. "Just go. I'll be okay. I'll distract them, so just go."

Peanut runs off to hide while Zeke just stands there waiting.

BOA Army Vehicles drive up to the crash. They exit out as they all point their guns at him.

Curtis exits out and points his gun at him walking towards him. "Where's the kid?"

"I was alone." He answers back.

"Really?" He smacks him over the head with the gun knocking him down. He then holsters his weapon, "GET HIM UP!" He orders one of the soldiers.

The BOA soldier gets him up to his feet and holds him in place as Curtis begins to punch him over and over again.

Peanut stays hidden in a bush watching it all happen. He closes his eyes and looks away covering his ears.

Curtis grabs him by the throat in anger and orders, "WHERE IS THE F&%$ING KID!"

He stares back with a cut along the side of his head as blood runs down his face from it. He spits blood right back to Curtis and shouts back. "I WAS ALONE!"

"Alright. Hard way it is." He says looking at one of the soldiers giving him a nod.

Zeke looks slightly up and sees Peanut hiding in the bushes as everything goes black getting hit in the back of the head.
