Sonic was walking around in Knothole, it had changed a lot since Robotnik disappeared, the Emerald Hill Freedom fighters now lived there. Things were a whole lot different. Knothole was no longer concealed and everyone lived peacefully. And little did the blue hedgehog know, things were about to get vastly different.
Rouge was stretching, they were arriving in Knothole in 10 minutes. She quickly had to repair her leotard that Knuckles had damaged the previous night.
That idiot! When I see him, he will be getting a piece of my mind!
She put on her make up, a bit of lipstick and walked out the room and back into the meeting room.
"Okay, we have located Knothole are we are ready to attack!"
Vichima sighed "I don't think that is a wise move, their forces outweigh ours!"
Zachary thought for a moment "Yes, but thanks to Rouge, we have the most powerful Chaos Emerald of all in our grasp!"
Vichima nodded "Yes, that!"
Robotnik stood up and walked over "I guess you want to know what your role is in this? You, will be controlling the weapon!"
Rouge grinned "Does this mission have an objective?"
Zachary nodded "It does! There are Chaos Emeralds in Knothole!"
Rouge smirked "I like it! I am the thief here, let me handle it!"
Zachary shook his head "No, you are the best of us, Syndicate at fighting, I believe you should stay and guard the ship!"
Rouge didn't like the sound of this "Soo, who is stealing it then?"
Zachary motioned toward Vichima "He is also a master thief like you! But since you were better at fighting than him, I chose you to go out!"
Rouge nodded "Where is Shadow though?" Zachary just smiled, Rouge knew the smile and returned it "What have you got him doing?"
Zachary grinned again "Secret!" she shrugged as the Death Carrier slowed to a halt directly over Knothole.
Knuckles was gliding after the huge ship, which was a lot faster than him.
"God, Knothole is in trouble, so is my island!" He then landed and run through the forest. "God, this is so much bigger when you are in a hurry it seems!" Knuckles said as he run with all the energy he could muster, he heard many screams and battle cries "I am too late! I gotta help!" he said before running at full speed!" He said as he run off.
