E-95Σ Plans

Sigma walked out into the clearing outside of Knuckles' cave. It decided that it should attack now and get the job over and done with. Except a sound made it hesitate. Then he realised that somebody was coming, and that he had to hide again. Tails appeared in the clearing, looked about, and ran into Knuckles' Cave. Sigma waited for a good hour or two before Sonic and Tails came back out, and both were looking wary. They walked out of the clearing. Sigma followed them, and waited outside of their cave when they entered. He scanned the sounds coming out of the cave:

"Sonic, I checked around the clearing after you left, and I found tracks, sort of like one of the robots Robotnik uses, but, bigger, and it was probably listening in to our conversations. We have to be more careful now." said Tails

"Don't worry Tails, Robotnik moved after the last time we hit him, which means he won't try that again for some time." replied Sonic

"What about the base we hit? Did you explore every last hole?"

"Yeah, I did. What does it matter?"

"I think I saw a hidden door in one of the walls, and something could have been hiding in there."

"Maybe we should go back and check."

"Good idea."

Sigma decided to hide better, and must have done because Sonic and Tails didn't see him. Sonic got ready to go on one of his "speed trips", waited for Tails to do the same, and let go. He raced off at speed faster than any thing Robotnik had ever created. Sigma decided to get ready for turbo mode, and unleash his potentially fast manoeuvring. He rocketed off in the direction of the base, using a more secret method to get there faster…

Ambush!

Sonic and Tails walked through the fence where they had got in the first time.

"It doesn't seem like anybody is here, but I suppose after what we did, nobody or no robot would come back." said Sonic.

"Yeah, well, it all depends." Tails replied as they entered the main part of the base. He then said, "The door is around then halfway point, I think. It has been a while since we were here."

"Do you reckon we could find one of those ring thingies? You know, to get the chaos emeralds?"

"Not likely inside of Robotnik's base, but maybe at the Green Hill or even Emerald Hill areas. Maybe we can go find them later."

"Why not now?" asked Tails.

"Because we're still trying to find the robot that created those tracks, stupid."

"Hey! Don't call me stupid. If it wasn't for me, you probably would have been stuck in the Aqua City zone and drowned!"

"Don't get your tails in a twist, okay? We should probably be wary, because there might still be robots around here."

As they spoke, a digging robot appeared out of the ground and proceeded to attack them. Sonic easily dodged it, but Tails got hit and slammed into the wall. Sonic then ran rings around the robot, and then jumped on its head and pulled out a few wires. The robot almost immediately stopped, and Sonic jumped off.

"Tails, Are you all right?" Sonic asked.

There was no reply.

Sonic looked around, found Tails slumped against the wall, with a small trickle of blood from his head running down his neck. Sonic picked him up, and ran back to Knuckles. After all, he was the only other living being on the Island except for Robotnik.
