Meanwhile, hearing Alana's scream, the others dropped their tools and rushed to help. They arrived in time to see Sonic pummel a giant worm in the head, two animals sitting up, rubbing their heads and Alana running away with Tails.
"Whut in the who-ha is that thang?" asked Bunnie, wrinkling her nose in disgust.
The Bancrek pulled its face from the ground, shook the loose earth away, and glared at the newcomers, snarling.
"Stay out of this, worms!! This is between me and the spike ball!!!" it hissed.
"He's calling us worms?" said Knuckles, raising an eyebrow. "Now that's insulting."
"Let'z even ze odds a beet." remarked Antoine, pulling his sword out, but backing away slowly.
"You don't stand a chance," it laughed. "Get them!"
At that the other two rushed at them.
Knuckles ran to Lucifer, fists swinging. Lucifer was inches away when he dropped to the ground and rolled towards the echidna, knocking his legs from under him. Knuckles fell face first to the ground as the devil clawed for his back. He flipped over and hammered his foot at the devil's neck. He connected, sending Lucifer skidding over the ground on his stomach towards Antoine. The devil glanced up and sank its claws into his leg. The fox howled in pain as Lucifer stood up, ripping skin as the weight of the fox rested on the claws. Antoine, though, didn't lose his head for a moment. He un-sheathed his sword, and swiped at him, slicing his arm open. The devil dropped him, clutching at his limb. His eyes turned back to their usual red in shock. He looked at Antoine, fear in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Zoi had rushed at Bunnie, fists blazing. She suddenly leaned forward, placed her hands on the floor, lifted her legs up and pushed herself into the air. All this was done in about 3 seconds, while running at the rabbot. Bunnie looked up to see Zoi throwing a ball of green fire at her. Bunnie only just managed to flip aside as the sphere exploded above the ground, incinerating the nearby trees. Zoi landed on one foot in front of her, smirking.
"Yanar nahara, Na ha Pida!" she said, staring at her through narrowed eyes, balancing gracefully.
"Say that again' in English, would ya', hon?" Bunnie said, throwing a punch at her with her robotic arm.
"It means 'Let's not scar that pretty face.'" she replied, leaning backwards 'Matrix-style', grabbing the arm, and pulling the rabbot over her head to land painfully behind her.
"Thanks foar the complemant." she replied, kicking her robotic foot around to connect with her leg. She heard it snap over the echidness's cry of pain. She turned to look at her, her eyes turned back to the green they were before, now filled with sorrow.
At the same time, Sonic and Sally were battling the Bancrek. Sonic had rolled himself into the spin-dash, rushing through the grass at the worm. The worm reared its ugly head, teeth whirring. At the last second, Sonic bounced up, smashing into him underneath the mouth. It flew back, narrowly missing Sally as it crashed into the ground. Sally jumped back, whipping out N.I.C.O.L.E. and sent an electric shock through the Bancrek. It snapped its tail at her, knocking her flying. It turned to the hedgehog, lunging at him, teeth spinning. It shredded the ground where the Sonic had been mili-seconds before. Sonic turned and spun-dashed up its tail towards the head. It dipped and raised its head quickly, sending a wave down its body. It threw the hedgehog off balance, causing him to spin-dash into a tree. He slid down and unrolled, upside-down and dazed. It flicked its tail and rushed at him.
"Say goodbye to this world, spike ball!!!" It shrieked, in a voice of pure hatred. Sonic came round in time to see a blur of foot-long teeth in front of his fac-
WHAM! It richoshaded away into a boulder as a green ball, a red ball and an amber ball smashed into it. They all heard the sickening 'crunch' as it collided. It crumpled to the floor, yellow-green pus leaking out of the corners of the eyes, leaving yellow-green slime that came out the mouth smeared on the rock. They looked to the source of the help. They saw Alana, Zoi and Lucifer standing there, hands smoking...
