-Roughly 30 minutes later-
"Hey guys, check it out." Julie-Su whispered stretching her arm out to where she had just spotted a figure's shadow move
"Aye, I saw it as well." Rob said behind narrowed eyes as he cautiously began to steady an arrow onto his bow.
As per Sonic's orders, the group had begun to make their way toward Robotnik's egg shaped base, taking cover from the waves of Robotnik's army sent out and managing to escape from them. Not a moment too soon, as the group had begun to be overwhelmed and a few had already been wounded. They had spread themselves out among the area they were in hiding in whatever they could find untill new word from Sonic's group or the Wolfpack was heard.
"Hold it before you open fire," Mighty cautioned "We don't need to be giving away our location if we don't have to, Bill here still hasn't regained consciousness and he's defensless untill he does."
Rob nodded "Point taken."
Everyone's alert reached full scale as more shadows where casted. Then, stepping out from a alley, came the familiar form of Sonic. He stopped, looking down at Nicole held firmly in his hands as he scanned a holographic map she was projecting before turning and giving an ushering signal with his hand.
"Gosh am I glad to see him--Hey Sonic!" Julie-Su called out stepping from where the group lay hidden, catching the hedgehog totally off guard, who turned sharply to face her.
"Good grief, I didn't see you guys." Sonic clutched his chest trying to ease the pace of his heart as the rest of his group stepped out from the alley.
"Sorry about that. It's about time you'd gotten here though, Bill and Vector are wounded. Vec's ok but Bill is uncon--Sonic, look out!" Julie yelped when she saw Sally round the corner last, pulling her blaster to quickly take aim.
"What?! Wait--STOP!" Sonic's eyes went frantic as he slapped his hands down on the echidna's arm as she fired redirecting her aim harmlessly into the dirt.
"What are you--"
"It's cool, Sal's with us." Sonic held his hands out defensively as he watched Julie's group exit the alley.
"Sal? ... Princess Sally?" Mighty's jaw gaped nearly dropping Bill as he carried the unconscious platypus out. Rob and Barby walked next to the armadillo attempting to help Vector walk on a bad leg, the croc giving them a hard time the whole way with Guru following closely behind.
Stories were exchanged among the now large group as everyone was brought back up to speed on recent events. Sonic had been quiet the whole time, observing the wounded platypus and crocodile as he felt rage for Robotik beginning to boil up inside him. Once the hedgehog had felt the need for talk was over he walked several feet away from the group, effectively catching their attention, turning his back to them as he gazed apon Robotnik's main fortress, a vengeful look of pure hate on his face.
"We're going to take Robotnik in a head on strike." the hedgehog growled with deadly venom in his voice.
"Sonic, have you gone nuts?!" Knuckles asked as his and everyone else's eyes shot wide stepping toward the hedgehog "Think rationally, he's expecting us! We'd end up getting killed!"
Sonic's eyes narrowed bowing his head apon hearing the echidna's words, his muzzle wrinked and canine teeth sparkled as his lips parted into a snarl. Without warning the hedgehog's stress factor had finally snapped. Quickly he turned backhanding the unsuspecting echidna across the muzzle sending him flying back a couple of feet, stunning not only the echidna but everyone else. Sonic however was unphased.
"What the heck is your probelem?!" Knuckles snarled jumping back to his feet. Before the echidna could retaliate or anyone else could speak a word had grabbed the echidna by both shoulders digging his fingers in as he pulled the echidna into his face. Knuckles eyes widened as a shudder creeped down his spine. The fire of pure hatred leaping in the hedgehog's eyes was unlike anything he'd ever seen previously.
"I don't care anymore," Sonic hissed in a deadly tone of voice that made everyone shudder "I have nothing left to loose, if I die then so be it. If you want to back down now, after all of this, then get the heck out of my face and get out of here. Understand, echidna?" a trickle of foam drooled out the side of the hedgehog's tooth-bared snarl, before any words from Knuckles culd be spoken Sonic threw the echidna back causing him to tumble onto the ground once more.
"That hedgehog is serious..." Knuckles thought inwardly through wide, stunned eyes. He wasn't alone in his thinking either.
Unknown to the hedgehog tears had once more began to stream his face as he whiped away the foam on his mouth "Any of you ready to back out like cowards?"
Everyone looked at each other, no words were spoken.
Sonic figured the worst from their silence turned his back again, his whole face was red from tears and anger "Fine, I'll do this myself."
"No you won't," Sally spoke up walking toward the hedgehog, placing a hand on his shoulder "I'll be there to help you."
Again everyone looked at each other.
"Hector's in nao conation ta go--" Barby began.
"What do you mean I'm not?! This ain't nothing but a little--"
"Shut up for once in your life!" Julie-Su snapped clamping a had onto the croc's mouth.
Babry sighed "An someone neads ta stay here with Bill."
"I'll staiy with em," Guru offered "The rest of ya'll get in thar and win one fah Mobius!"
A slight look of relief spread across Sonic's face, but it was still obvious he was ready to snap on the next person to say 'boo' to him "Sally will come with me, we'll go ahead and confront Robotnik himself. The rest of you just make sure to watch our backs."
"Aye, gotcha." Rob gave the thumbs up as everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Good. Now let's get this show on the road." Sonic's eyes narrowed dangerously as he took Sally into his arms and sped off ahead of the rest... Where they would find Robotnik.
