Wow.
I haven't updated this story in god knows how long. For a long while I lost inspiration due to school, moving, and just exhaustion. It is now 2018, I'm surprised the ones who followed from the start are still here. I promise I'll get back in the groove of things in the following weeks. Without further ado, here's the chapter I promised on finishing, but never dished out. Thank you.
"So? What's the plan on getting this creep away from my island?" Knuckles grumbled the next morning. Tails was tracking coordinates on his Miles Electric. "Well, judging by the large area of construction, it must be a heavily guarded area." Knuckles huffed. "No duh. How about a way to weaken the defense systems?" Tails furrowed his brow. "There's no way to weaken it physically. I'll try to see if I can get through the computer systems, but I can't guarantee anything yet." Knuckles rubbed his temple. "We can't just do nothing either way." Tails put down his device and looked around. "Have you seen Sonic? He's been gone all morning." Knuckles just shrugged. "Dunno. Maybe he's out on a run? He seemed kinda stressed." Tails frowned. He was concerned for his friend. Ever since he had returned, he hasn't seemed himself. "I just hope he'll talk to me is all."
Things were tense back at Castle Acorn. The guards were still shaken by the tremors and the animals that have been reportedly appearing after sundown. The Freedom Fighters had been trying to make sense of things, and the King was at work trying to take control. "So you say Angel Island has been captured under Eggman's forces?" King Max asked his daughter. "Yes. Sonic and Tails are searching the island. We still don't know what fuels these attacks at night, but all we can assume is that Eggman has some sort of connection." Sally explained. King Max drummed his fingers on his desk. "Didn't that spy from earlier state that there were two bases located in Aquatic Hill and Sandopolis? We could send some of our agents to infiltrate." Sally had a better idea. "My group could scout it out. Rotor's pretty good at the tech stuff, Bunnie has enough strength to be defense, and Antoine… is good at handling a saber." The King was hesitant about this idea. "Are you sure you don't want to have extra backup with you? If anything happens, I want to make sure someone is well enough to take over." Sally reassured the old chipmunk. "If something happens, I'll message the guards to come over for help." She began to leave, Max put a hand on her shoulder. "Be careful out there." Sally smiled. "Dad, I'll be fine. We've done this many times before. I've gotten good at situations like these." King Max chuckled. "I suppose. Good luck Sally."
Sonic hated keeping things from his friends, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble than what has been happening as of late. Nobody but him knew of his other self. The wind brushed his spines, giving him some sort of relaxation. Then he realized. "Shoot! I've been out here for hours! Tails is probably looking everywhere for me!" He got up and accelerated towards camp. "And being out here is worrying enough too!" Sonic blazed through the jungle, everything going past him in a blur. The biggest priority was to stop Eggman, while he was out here doing nothing. " Tails must've thought up of something by now. I will find out what Eggman's up to!"
