It only took a few minutes for them to reach the city's edge. After
stopping Equinox flew up a several yards and took a look around.
"I don't see anymore robots from here, but we should still be on guard." She said as she descended back to the road. They all stood there for a moment, not quite sure where to go next.
"Let's make for the forest for now." Said Sonic. "At least if anymore robots show up they'll have the disadvantage." Without further ado they all started walking north. Knuckles and Tails were slightly behind. Knuckles whispered to Tails.
"Think we should trust her? For all we know she could be the one trying to put the dark emerald together..."
"But if she was trying to do that why would she have destroyed those robots?" Tails said in an undertone.
"I don't know, but it's all really suspicious..."
They continued walking, and soon found themselves surrounded by vegetation. Equinox stopped. The others also stopped and looked at her.
"Is something wrong?" Sonic asked, just slightly worried.
"I'm feeling something from the east, the same kind of energy that led me to you three... It's either the person who's trying to put the emerald together or someone else who has a shard of it. You two feel it as well, right?" She paused and looked at Knuckles and Tails. They appeared in thought for a moment before they nodded. "Well, should we risk following it?"
"Why not? Whoever it is, I'm not scared." Sonic confidently replied, turning east.
After walking for nearly two hours Sonic sighed and stopped to rest.
"Are you sure about this? You aren't getting some sort of false signal?"
Equinox nodded.
"In fact, it's getting closer, even though we're not moving. They may sense us too. If that be the case, then it's more likely the unknown villain. Anyone else wouldn't know what the signal was, so they would probably ignore it."
"So should we just wait for them to find us, then?" Tails cut in, "We're still in the forest, just incase there are more robots." The others nodded. They stood quietly for who knows how long, watching the trees, the sky, any place the person could come from. Everyone looked up at once as a dull buzz could be heard, kind of like a big fly. It got louder and louder until it was clear that it wasn't a fly at all, but some kind of aircraft. Just moments later a loud, echoing, maniacal laughter rang throughout the trees.
"That voice!" Sonic said, "Oh no, not again..."
