Life After: Sonic Crew
Yeah the question about Mina's death keeps bothering me, but I'll leave the story as it is, until enough people suggest to change it, I asked it because I'm thinking about just deleting that character; I might, I might not…

Chapter 19 – Entry to the Open World
(You might not understand the title until next chapter or the end of this chapter)
Its spikes receded into the ground again, Knuckles ran for the tree, the ground rumbled again, this time spike sprung up at his side; cutting the side of his arm, he flinched but other than that he only looked at and shook it off. He ran around and around trying to shake it off; no good…
Sonic was still being held hostage by CNS-1, "Sooo…got any kids?" Sonic stupidly asked; if CNS-1 had any humor he would've sweat dropped just now. For some reason, CNS-1 moved his sword and grabbed the hedgehog's quills and pushed Sonic away, "Hey! Watch the hairdo!" Sonic yelled.
CNS-1 began to taunt him by appearing and disappearing just as Sonic swung at him.
After being made an idiot out of CNS-1 stopped right in front of him. "I got you now! Tim—" Sonic was cut off as CNS-1 grabbed his arm and lifted him in the air like he was nothing more than a rag doll. The thing began to wrap his spiked rope thing around Sonics legs and they began to wrap higher and higher.
The spiked edges began to cut into Sonic's body, the dozens of areas that began to bleed screamed with tortured pain that he never felt before. His wounds grew larger; then more blood began to flow…CNS-1 began to chuckle at the whimpering hedgehog, "(Echoed) Fool…did you really think I'd let you get a chance to attack me?" He said making the rope press harder into Sonic's skin.
Sonic let out a yell before beginning to fade from reality, Knuckles started running towards him, he made continuous stops due LS-9. CNS-1 let go of the hedgehog an left his disabled body for dead, he turned his attention to Shadow who was putting up a lot of resistance for NJ-6 (His other above ground buddy).
Sonic laid lifelessly on the ground…his blood was growing around him; he began to lose his vision until he lost consciousness.
"Shit! Shadow common we got get out of here!" Knuckles said running for Sonic's cut body. Shadow didn't have his usual emerald, he couldn't teleport them out of here.
"Knuckles get him and run! I'll get these guys!" Shadow said kick-jumping from the wall and kicking NJ-6 in its face. CNS-1 only watched from a distance, he heard LS-9 burrow into the woods he knew why…
"Common buddy…" Knuckles said picking up Sonic; when he placed him on his shoulders Knuckles realized that LS-9 had stopped his attacks on him…
Knuckles saw a crumbled and broken trail leading into the woods…then a huge roar in the air caused them all to stop and look in that direction…
CNS-1 and NJ-6 teleported/kicked off them ground and headed in that direction! They left the battle but why? They left Sonic for dead, Knuckles was injured and Shadow was on the verge of losing, so why leave now?
"Something's up…and it doesn't seem good." Shadow said rubbing his neck only to get his gloves covered in blood. They walked into the woods hoping they wouldn't get caught in another fight.
Deeper in the woods
Knuckles and Shadow's hopes died when they came to a horrible and yet some what pleasing sight…
Shadow attended to Sonic's wound as best he could, but he was still bleeding; less but still and was still unconscious. Knuckles peaked behind a tree, through the light fog he could CNS-1 and NJ-6 standing over the severed body of LS-9.
LS-9 was on the ground with half it's face blow off, it's left arm and claw were as few feet away bloody and severed, it had deep holes on it's lower extended body, there were pieces of its body on the ground around them…the entire forest ground was a bloody purple field…
"Goddamn…what happened to him?" Knuckles whispered as Shadow crouched near him. Spooking them was CNS-1's movements; he was shouting and was slashing trees and stabbing empty grounds…
"What are they looking for? They seem scared to death?" Shadow asked quietly.
They weren't seeing something, now NJ-6 was in a blocking stance, loud small burst began and sparks showed hitting NJ-6's armored forearms; they began to bleed and break apart. It let out a roar as it slashed at something; its body began making awkward movements like if something was being hit hard in its chest causing a deep imprint and letting blood flow out and its leg.
As it backed away holding it's wounds, it's glowing red blood poured out it's mouth and other wounds, death hit it hard as it's a loud blast sounded and NJ-6's head was blown off…the strange thing is that were no visible flashes for it to be a gun or anything ballistic type.
CNS-1 held his sword in a sideways pointing down position. Something hopped down from a tree in front of him; it looked up at him with no fear at all.
Knuckles and Shadow saw the thing that assassinated the two other projects…a human, wearing all black, like a ninja suit, they had a shotgun in their hands, and a SMG like gun on their hip, Knuckles observed the person and was able to pretty much to conclude that it was a woman.
"That's a woman that kill them in five minutes and that would've taken us hours." Knuckles said pointing to her, "How can you tell?" Shadow asked.
"Well for one she has more curves in her body than a man would which is a pretty good give-away." Shadow didn't notice that yet…but he could see that Knuckles was right.
In their conversation the woman had lunged at CNS-1, he swung his sword down and was blocked by the shotgun's heavy metal plating, she kicked it in its stomach area; she shot at it once and threw the shotgun down.
The power from the blast sent CNS-1 into a tree, he fell forward and slowly got up. His abdomen area was barely bloody or damaged but it seemed like the hit was a powerful one, he looked ahead only to be sent back flying by the woman's SMG. She fired at him with the gun in one hand, the gun fired from down to up once and she let go of the trigger, CNS-1 had a line of red bloody holes as he was slammed back into the tree by the gun's fire power.
He slid down to the ground leaving a stain line of blood on the tree's bark; he groaned as his body became less tense and remained motionless…
She turned around and looked at the creatures on the hill observing the battle. Her face was cover but her eyes, just like the white soldiers, she had small night-vision goggles that had glowing green eye pieces.
"You can come out now…" She said making them feel stupid for trying to act like they weren't there.
"Should we?" Knuckles asked, "Hell no!" Shadow shouted softly, "Didn't you see what she did to them? We're target practice for her!" Knuckles understood what Shadow was saying but he couldn't help but have a strange trust for her…
"Don't worry guys, I'm not gonna hurt you." She walked a few feet in their direction.
"Yeah that's what she wants you to think! Next thing we're in a tree upside down being shot at!" Shadow said sarcastically, Knuckles only looked at Shadow in a weird way though, "You're starting to act more like Sonic you know that right?" He said standing up and showing their exact position. Shadow panicked and tried to keep Knuckles down.
"What took you guys so long!" She said taking off her mask and walking closer to them, Knuckles's jaw dropped, Shadow couldn't believe who it was…
(You can wait a little to fine out…like next chapter)
With Rouge, Amy, Tails & Cream
Samantha was upstairs unaware of the current situation sleeping; even though she wouldn't get it even if she found out.
Amy was relatively calm; Rouge had told them earlier that she lost connect with them, Rouge was worried sick but she had confidence in her husband and their friends that would be fine and yet she had doubts in the back of her head though…
Cindy was on the verge of losing her mind, she was having panic attacks that seemed endless, when ever she did for some reason calm down, she would look around the room and begin to cry again, Amy and Rouge did all they could to try to keep her calm, and yet throughout all this…Samantha slept soundlessly.
"It's okay Cindy, they'll be fine…they've gotten through worse, I would know, I have first hand experience with them." Amy said trying to comfort her, "Look, I bet they're on there way back now." She said in a sweet voice.
Cindy kept silence still tearing, "I hope so…" She said quietly, Rouge stared head set and her laptop, she kept trying before to contact them, she decided to quit, but maybe they had a signal now.
She slowly opened here laptop and tried to contact them.
Back in the forest (this chapter is too serious to put in a funny name soo… keep reading)
"Topez?" Knuckles said shocked. They couldn't believe it…they fought the projects and couldn't even scratch them, and here she comes in and slaughters them.
"What? Stop looking at me like that!" She said.
Shadow's eye began to twitch, "That is bullshit! How the hell you can kill them so easily? We were back there getting our asses kicked trying just trying moving around and here you come and blow their heads off like it was nothing!" He yelled, Knuckles put his hand on his shoulder, "Let it go man, we got get out of here anyway."
Shadow glared and sighed at Topez, who was still a bit confused at his anger but ignored it, "Let's get Sonic and get out here." Knuckles picked Sonic up again, he notice she had a small black box on her left hip, "Hey you don't have any medical stuff in there do you?"
Topez looked at her box and nodded, "Yea, but not a lot, why?" She said opening it, she pulled out a white bandage roll, two capped needles and a thin, long pouch thing.
"Yea…let me get these, these and these." Knuckles taking everything she had; he put Sonic down and began to warp Sonic's arms up, "What happened to him?"
"That thing with the sword got him with the rope thing of his." Shadow said looking the dead bodies of the projects.
"Wait, you mean the one I just killed?" She asked, Shadow nodded, she took one of the needles Knuckles had place on the ground and rushed to Sonic's side, she took off the needle cap and squeezed a few drops into the larger wounds, she inserted the needle under his skin in his right arm, "How long since CNS-1 attacked him?" She asked pushing the rest of the liquid through the needle.
She removed the needle and threw into the woods, "Not that long, least five to fifteen minutes." Knuckles said, Topez let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank goodness! CNS-1's secondary weapon, that bladed coil; is poison tipped, if he had gone thirty minutes without that liquid I gave him, his coma would have kept going, until he died…"
"What was that, liquid?" Shadow asked still staring at CNS-1; he couldn't help but feel uneasy around him, even though he was dead Shadow still felt unsafe.
"It's a strong medicine, government uses it on covert soldiers that do long term missions…Hey stop making me answer all these questions! I could get in trouble!" She said realizing she was giving out too much information.
Sonic let out a small groan, "Oh damn…what happened? Did I get drunk again?" Sonic grabbed his head in pain, "Don't worry about it, it'll wear off in a few minutes, common; there's a helicopter depot not too far from here." She said walking past the dead bodies.
"Alright let's go! Hope I never see this land ever again!" Shadow said picking up Sonic along with Knuckles's help, Topez picked up her shotgun and cocked it, an empty shell popped out; "Great…I'm out of ammo, common we better hurry before anything else finds us."
They moved along with Topez leading the group, Sonic was recovering quicker than expected.
