^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sonic sat helplessly behind the forceshield, as much as he hated to admit it, Eggman had really got him this time. If he touched the forceshield he slowed down so slow that he couldn't do any damage to anything, and the more emotions he felt about anything the closer Eggman got to his plan succeeding.

"The genius of this plan, my dear Sonic, is that the more worked up you and your little friends get about it, the closer it becomes to succeeding!" Eggman had told him with an evil sneer.

Sonic looked over; Tails, Rouge, Shadow, Amy, Big the Cat, Cream and the Chaotix crew were all sitting quietly trying to keep their emotions to a minimum and think of a way out, but Sonic couldn't help but be panicked. Where was Blue? He had promised that he would be home for her, she could be worried, scared, all on her own; or worse Sonic thought sitting bolt upright, she could have done something REALLY STUPID. And where was Knuckles? If he wasn't here then that could mean that he could be hurt, or worse, dead! Sonic tried to stay calm but all he could think about was his daughter. His head shot up as Eggman strolled into the room followed by, no... it couldn't be... they were destroyed years ago weren't they?

"Robotnik your evilness, we've detected a head signature moving our way, fast, faster than anything should be able to go." One of them squawked worriedly.

"Blue..." Sonic whispered panicked, he knew her disk could move almost as fast as he could.

"She wouldn't..." Sonic breathed scared.

"She's your kid of course she would." Shadow said looking at Sonic out of the corner of his eye.

"What kid wouldn't try and help their parent?" He added looking away from Sonic's pale worried face.

"Well Sonic, it looks like your kid is as dumb as you are." Robotnik laughed at Sonic.

"Shut it Egg-brains! You can say whatever you like about me but NEVER talk about my daughter like that!" Sonic growled shaking with anger.

"Sonic! You're only helping him!" Tails hissed at Sonic.

"Indeed. Send fifty robots out, tell them to shoot to kill." Robotnik smirked evilly.

"Whoa," Blue said looking at the device in her hands "this signal is really strong, I hope he's not in danger."

"More relevant to the moment Blue, how are we gonna get up that?" Cole said pointing to a huge cliff-face as they slowed down to look at it.

"Well, I can't see a way around it, we'll have to just go up on my disk. It'll take a while though, it's pretty big..." Blue said looking up thoughtfully. Something caught Cole's eye and he turned around to see a huge robot army heading towards them threateningly. He tapped Blue on the shoulder.

"Uh, Blue; I don't think we have a while." Cole said quietly.

"Son of a-!" Blue shouted, as she had to get her disk to jump three feet into the air to avoid being shot at.

"Let's get outta here!" Cole said starting to run as he dodged lasers firing at him.

"Cole! There's no way I can get my disk up at that angle, I don't have anywhere near enough power!" Blue shouted following him as fast as she could on her disk.

"You mean that doesn't scare you enough?!?" Cole shouted back.

"Trust me, I've seen worse; but never without Sonic... I can't get up at this angle without any more power!" Blue shouted back over the wind.

Cole swore under his breath and jumped sideways to land on Blue's disk with her, it rocked violently and sped up at his sudden action. He pulled her back towards him, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck; he felt the fizz in his ear and the hot feeling in his spikes as they broke the sound barrier and went up a 90-degree angle up the cliff-face.

The robots stood at the bottom of the cliff unsure of what to do next, they'd never even seen Sonic move that fast, hell, the two hedgehogs had come pretty damn close to breaking the light barrier. The robots turned to face each other, after a pause they started doing rock, paper scissors to see who would be the unlucky one to tell Robotnik what had happened.

Cole opened his eyes, he vaguely registered that it was starting to get dark, a few moments later his brain noted down the fact that lying in a pile of rubble is *not* comfortable. He rolled onto a more comfortable surface and tried to remember why his head was hurting so much. A split second later he was on his feet running around looking for traces of Blue.

He found her lying in a pile of broken trees with a nasty looking cut on her forehead and something that hadn't been there before. He picked her up gently and laid her on the floor, he looked at her new baby-blue spikes with a smile, he wondered what she would say about those. His smile faded as he thought what she might do when she remembered what he had done, he figured she might slap him or throw him off the cliff; or something equally as gruesome. He ripped the corner of one of the blankets and soaked it with water from one of the bottles in his bag; he attempted to clean up the wound on her head.

Blue's eyes flickered open then shut and she groaned at the pain in her head, and the ringing in her ears. Whatever she had eaten or drunk that had made her feel this bad she vowed then and there that she would never touch it again. She groggily opened her eyes to see Cole leaning over her putting something cold on her forehead.

She sat up and grumbled at the pain in her skull. Cole looked worried as he took the wet material away.

"Blue?" he said, "Are you ok?"

"My head hurts." She replied, her mind to fuzzy to think of anything intelligent to say.

"Mmm, you're bleeding out of it. I would think it would." Cole said and returned to tending her wound. Blue closed her eyes and tried to remember what had happened, she opened her eyes as the memory came back to her.

"Robots." She said, Cole nodded in agreement.

"There was a cliff. Big." She added, her brain beginning to de-fuzz itself.

"I couldn't get enough speed and..." Blue frowned trying to remember. Cole bit his lip, it had been nice her not remembering, he expected she would start shouting at him any moment now.

"Oh!" Blue gasped remembering. Cole noticed her face going red, she was blushing, this was something he hadn't expected.

Blue suddenly found the floor very interesting, she had that hot feeling in her cheeks that she knew meant she had starting blushing furiously. It didn't help matters that Cole was so close and looking after her wound.

"I'm fine really." Blue mumbled, Cole didn't hear her.

"Really. I'm fine." She said again reaching up and brushing Cole's had away.

"Sure. Just hold this on it until it stops bleeding." Cole smiled at her and got up. Blue's blush deepened.

'Urg. I'm acting like a little girl! Get a grip Blue!' she thought sternly to herself.

'Although, he did save my life...'
