It's been four months since the prison break. I really wish Mighty had joined us, but he said he had things to take care of. I never got to find out anything about that rabbit. I hope he find Espio. He really sounded disappointed when I told him that Espio had never been recorded as being held there.

Tails is getting better. At least he's making a little bit of sense now. Altough whenever he talks, he says it's what the voices are telling him. He comes to the meetings, but otherwise he is only around Cream…maybe it's better that way.

Rouge isn't the same. She doesn't do field missions anymore. I've never known her to be scared. She just wants to do planning. It may be better, but it sure doesn't feel like her.

Amy isn't getting any better. She's proving to be a great leader, but I think she's heading for a crash. Too much caffeine. Too much stress. If she doesn't slow down soon, I fear what may happen.

Storm and Wave have been grieving, so they haven't been much help. We haven't heard any news about Jet. For the time being, we're assuming that he is dead. They hate it, but I think they might be up to helping to full effect soon.

Charmy's proved really helpful. He trains well. With him helping, we have secured most of Station Square for our base. Yes, he is proving to be a very useful partner…something I never thought I would say of anyone.

But something is wrong. Eggman isn't really fighting back. He didn't protect his prison that well. He's planning something. I don't like this.

"Knuckles!" The pink hedgehog said, barely slowing down in time to walk beside the echidna. "Imsogladthaticaughtuptoyouwevegotameetinginthirtyminutesitsinthebabylonrouge!" She slurred before speeding past again. She was gone before Knuckles even had a chance to pick up the entire sentence. He did pick up thirty minutes and Babylon Rouge.

"Another one?" He sighed. "Are we planning a mission so soon? Better go get Charmy then."

"Wahoo!" The exclamation echoed through the mountains as the snow shined with the sun's brightness. A red creature skidded around the boulders on the path. "And The Red Blur takes the lead!"

"Stop showing off!" The yellow cat called, smashing through several of the boulders. "If you were even comparable to The Real Blur, you wouldn't have been hiding out all those years."

"The action life just ain't for me. Besides, if I had taken part in those adventures, Sonic would have been outshined!"

"Please." The cat replied. "And I'm the Queen of Scots."

"Weren't you part of the royal family before Eggman took over?"

"Shut up, Mighty." They skidded to a halt outside a decrepit base. "You sure this is it? I know that your information on Espio wasn't reliable."

"I'm positive, Honey." The armadillo said. "It's been here for six years. I'm surprised we didn't think of this before."

"I did." The yellow cat said as she stepped off her board, straightening her red dress. "You were more worried about finding Espio and Vector."

"Bite me." Mighty replied as they walked into the abandoned base.

The black and red hedgehog stood in the training room, facing against the green hawk. He was waiting for him to make his move. Finally, the green bird was tired of waiting and charged forward, sweeping his wing at the hedgehog's side.

The hedgehog didn't wait for the move to connect, ducking down and planting a punch into his stomach. "Too slow." He spun around and kicked the bird to the side. "You have to work on your speed, Jet. While training, I won't hurt you. In the field, however, there is no second chances." The black hedgehog started to walk out of the room. "I'll get Espio in here to spare with you."

The sound of metal resounded through the hall as the blue robot marched along, followed by two figures: a blue hedgehog with green rings around his arms and legs, two over his body and a weasel with gold marks on his face and body. The robot stopped at a container and reached forward to open it. Inside was another robot, crimson red. What could have passed for a smile appeared on his face. This base was filled with hundreds of these. "Ashura, Nack. Go to Dr. Robotnik's base. Tell him that his time of power is over. He has a week to decide whether he will join me or I will kill him." The metallic voice told the two beings. His red eyes started to glow. "Don't disappoint me."
