"I hate this.." I would say softly, tapping my fingers on the dashboard of the plane before looking back at the stranger that was laying in the back of the van. She seemed to not be waking up and it made me grow more and more concerned.

Jumping out of my seat, I walked up to her to see how she was doing or even if she would become responsive at all. "Um.. Miss..?" I shook her in the hopes that maybe that would get her attention. We needed more information.

Getting no reaction, I would walk back to my seat. The only thing that caused me to pause was the sound of a loud gasp and movement behind me. I turned to see she was finally awake. "Miss! You're up!" I rushed back over to her. She looked down at me with those blue eyes, staring in a really strange way.

"T-tails?" She asked me. How does she know my name? I wonder to myself before I ask her aloud since no one else outside the freedom fighter area should have known it. Unless Sonic told her.

'How do you know who I am? I don't even know who you are." I would tell her, a little huffy, but it felt really rude.

"Oh- I'm sorry. You just seemed like someone I know. I'm Sally. I was hoping to warn the sonic here. But I'm afraid I'm too late." She sighed heavily.

Frowning, I move to sit beside her. "He seemed like he was in a big hurry to get the guy that they have in there. I don't know how long he and his siblings will be though."

She got up and would approach the front of the car to look over the controls from what I'm assuming. I move to follow her, curious about what she's looking at.

"How long have they been gone?" Her voice pulls me out of my thoughts, trying to register the question before answering it at all. "How long-? Oh- Well. I think about an hour. But they should be back soon. They're probably being extra careful." He frowned, hoping that they would all be back soon.

"AN HOUR?! We need to get inside and check on them." She would try to turn the car on, but I reached to snatch the keys.

The look she gave me for that was scary, but I stood firm. "We are not going to risk this. Sonic said that it was important. If anything, we leave. But we should give them more time. Who knows where Robuttnik is holding the guy." My eyes narrow at her until she decides to give in.

"You're right.. And. Honestly, I don't even know this world that well. I'm not from here." Not from here? What does she mean by that

"Where are you from?" I would ask, moving to sit near her. Maybe storytelling would help pass the time.

She smiled at me and would begin telling me all about her world.

"Sonia. Will you hurry up. Not to be impatient. But we're taking longer than usual and I hate it." I growled in annoyance. If it was one thing I hated, it was a slow rescue.

Though my impatience also earned me a stern glare from Sonia. "If you would allow me Sonic, I am looking for him. But he keeps changing the mainframe. On top of those bots that almost keep catching us. It's a wonder I got this far!"

"Hey guys, can we can the fighting until later? We got work to do. Let's just go with what you got. Sonic is right. This is taking way too long." Finally, at least Manic agrees with me.

"Alright fine, let's get going so we can get back to our Tails and that poor girl you ran into." Sonia and Manic both grabbed onto me as I rushed them though, hoping to hit every possible hallway in search of where he could be. Although. Something about this felt way too easy.

I skidded to a stop and would look around. "Looks like we're walking right into a trap."

"Oh really? What was your first clue?" The sarcasm from Sonia was obvious, but I'm just going to ignore it for now.

"Let's get going then and grab him. After all. Why leave such a good trap waiting. He obviously knows we're here, so why doesn't he just lead the way?" As if on cue, some doors near us begin to open. "You see, he's laying out the welcome mat now! That's more like it!" I would begin to walk forward with my siblings annoyed at me as they follow.

"Looks like they're almost here. Took them long enough. Honestly. Was he just trying to waste my time?" Robotnik mumbled as I watched him from nearby. A small gulp getting caught in my throat. They were getting closer. This wasn't good.. Not one bit. I really hope my friends are able to find a way to get here at least. We need all the help we can get.
