2:05 AM

Shadow couldn't believe his eyes... the rescue convoy has arrived!

SHADOW: The convoy's here!

Knuckles' humvee column and ten armored G.U.N. vehicles drove to the crash site.  Running alongside of the vehicles are various guards of furry and human G.U.N. soldiers.

The echidnas on the roofs shot down at the furry and human soldiers, but they all couldn't penetrate the armored vehicles nor hit the fast moving and shooting soldiers.

Shadow and Mighty ran out of the building and hid behind a big piece of ruble.  Knuckles walked to the ruble and met Shadow and Mighty.  He shook Shadow's hand.

KNUCKLES: Sergeant Shadow!  I heard you guys needed a lift?

SHADOW: Yes, sir!

Knuckles pointed out.

KNUCKLES: Bring your wounded right over there and start loading them up.

Shadow ran back to the building while Mighty stayed to help with cover fire.

Pachacamac and Lara-Le are cutting the entire cockpit open around Tikal and Ray's bodies.

At the building, Tails and Manic are beginning to walk out.  Manic slipped, but Tails caught him and helped him up.

TAILS: I got you.  I got you.

MANIC: It's okay.  I want to walk.

TAILS: Yeah, I would, too.  Let's go!

Manic and Tails ran out of the building and to the armored G.U.N. vehicles.

All the human soldiers carried the wounded furries into the armored vehicles.  The furries continued shooting up at the Dark Legion echidnas on the roofs.

Pachacamac sawed right through the canopy and began tearing the cockpit apart.

At a corner, Wombat Stu, Knuckles, Rouge, Sonic, and Shadow met.

WOMBAT STU: We get the pilots' bodies out.  Okay?  Then we go to the stadium.  We're running out of room around here.

KNUCKLES: Just going to have to cram into every possible space.

WOMBAT STU: Okay, 10th Mountain provides rear security for armor.  Walks us out of the hot zone.

Rouge wasn't pleased about that.

ROUGE: 10th Mountain?  No.  Sir, with respect, my Rangers could provide the rear security.  We'll walk out of the hot zone, and we'll jump on the last few vehicles.

Wombat Stu thought for a minute.

WOMBAT STU: Okay.  Let's get out of here.  Let's go!

They split up.

INT. ONE ARMORED VEHICLE

Inside of an armored vehicle are a bunch of furries.  One of these furries is Manic!  He's yelling at the G.U.N. to hurry up!

MANIC: Come on!

He hears the bullet ricocheting off of the vehicle from outside.

MANIC: These things are fucking bullet magnets. *to driver* Come on!  Let's go!

The driver of the vehicle is Barby Koala!  She turns around and faces Manic.

BARBY: We go when I'm ordered to, soldier!

Manic cringed as more bullets ricocheted off of the armored vehicle!
