Knuckles crawled forward, the air ducts were not very large and he had a
hard time moving.
"Knuckles?" Rouge asked.
"Yeah."
"Do you believe that girl, Amanda's story?"
He stopped and thought about it. Rouge bumped into him, sending him forward. "Hey!" he cried.
"Sssh!," she whispered, "we can't have the guards hearing us."
"Alright," he hissed at her, "and as for what you said, I'm not so sure we can trust her."
"Me either."
Knuckles came to a grate right in front of him. He peeked out of it. Two guards were standing there, with their backs to him. Pushing out the grate, he landed on one guard's head. The guard slumped to the floor. The other one was taken by surprise and started backing up. Rouge came down on his head.
"Nice one." Knuckles said with a grin.
"Thanks," she answered batting her eyes at him.
Knuckles turned a darker shade of red, "Uh, there's no time for that now, we have to hurry."
"Fine. Let's go then." She opened the door and began to walk up the stairs.
Knuckles scratched his head, "I'll never understand that woman." The stairs were steep, obviously built for humans. "Nuts to this," he said and jumped to the wall and began to climb. Above him he could see Rouge doing the same. A grin appeared on his face and he began to climb faster.
Catching up with her he said, "A little slow are we."
Rouge glared at him. "I'm climbing slowly because we can't be spotted remember?"
Reaching the top he stopped and helped Rouge up. "We'll let's carry on shall we." He said and opened the door. The second floor was disserted, only a large steel door in front of them, about forty feet away. "I guess we wait for Sonic and Tails."
***********************************************
Sonic looked around, there were no guards in sight. He creped forward slowly, "God I hate this." He thought.
There was a long, narrow hallway in front of them.
"Hey, Sonic?" Tails asked nervously
"Yeah, little buddy?"
"I'm a little scared. This guy's not like Eggman at all, is he?"
"You're right, he's not like Eggman at all. He's much more sadistic."
"Well what.." Tails began.
"We have to be quite now." Sonic said creeping up to the door. He flung it open, and stepped inside. There were about twenty armed guards standing in there. "Ugh, a guard room. Always happens with my luck."
"It's the prisoners!" One of the guards yelled.
"What do we do, Sonic?" Tails asked a fearful look in his eyes.
"No problem." Sonic said with a wink.
"You two, keep your hands up."
Sonic whirled into action and before Tails could blink all twenty guards were laid out.
"A little slow, Sonic." Tails grinned.
"What ever. Now, come over here." Sonic said and waved Tails closer, as he stepped towards a door. There was a window in the door, but was at least three feet higher than either of them.
"What is it?" Tails asked stepping forward slowly.
"I need to use you as a stool. Hold still." Sonic said as he climbed up Tails.
"Sonic, hurry up," Tails moaned, "You're heavy.."
Sonic looked through the window, the coast was clear. He jumped off Tails and opened the door.
"You coming Tails?" he asked as he started walking.
"Wait for me!" Tails shouted as he followed after Sonic. A flight of stairs was in front of them.
"Guess we go up." Sonic said and began to climb the stairs with Tails in tow.
When they reached the top, Knuckles and Rouge were already waiting for them.
"What took you guys so long?" Knuckles asked with a smirk.
"I'm really getting tired of that joke!" Sonic growled.
"Calm down, blue boy," Knuckles said, "Rouge has cracked the password and now we can get in the lab. Ready?"
