Wave's POV
I woke up to notice Rocket wasn't standing in the corner. I assumed he sneaked out to find everyone because of Blaze. "What's going on," Shadow asked as he got up. "Rocket's gone," I replied. "Heh, he must've gone off because of my leadership. He obviously got scared," Jet said. "No, he obviously went to find everyone else and see if there was another way out," I corrected. "I thought I told him to leave everyone else here. Those were my orders," Jet said. "Well, they weren't very good orders," Shadow said. "What are you talking about?" "Think about it. Blaze means a lot to Rocket, so he couldn't stand to leave her here." "Well, too bad. He was supposed to leave them alone and get out of here," Jet said. "Too bad. I found them," Rocket said as he stepped into the room. "And we are getting out of here. Every one of us. We're busting outta here," Rocket said sternly before leaving. Everyone else followed him out of the room and down the corridor. We then entered a room with black and white tiles decorating the floor. "Hold on. Something's wrong," Rocket said. "What do you mean, boss," Storm asked. "I've seen Indiana Jones. Some of those tiles could be a trigger to something," Rocket said before looking around the room. "I got it. If any of us step on the tiles, sand will fill this room until it's all up to the top of our heads." "In other words, the sand will fill this room until we're dead," Sonic summarized. "Exactly." Vector was about to step on one of the tiles, but Rocket was able to stop him. "Vect, what are you trying to do? You gotta use your head, man," Rocket said. "Sorry about that," Vector replied. "It's cool. Just don't do again." Unfortunately, Rocket's foot stepped on a tile and sand started to fill the room. "Rocket," Rouge said. "Not my fault," Rocket said. The sand was currently up to our ankles and rising. "Great. How do we get out of this," Knuckles asked. "I'm not sure. Maybe if there was some vine or a rope," Rocket said while looking around the room. While Rocket was looking for something to save us, the sand was right up to our waists. "Hurry it up," Silver said panicked. "I am. There's nothing here to help," Rocket said. Suddenly, a vine appeared in Rocket's hand and he used it to pull himself out of the sand. He then brought it over to Shadow who then swung it over to Rouge. One by one, all of us were rescued. Rocket turned around and looked at the camera. "Did you really think that this story would end on a bad note?" All of us then exited the room and stood out in the hallway. "Now where do we go," Silver asked. "I'm not sure, Silv. I'm at a loss for ideas," Rocket said. "I was kinda hoping our leader had some bright ideas for getting us outta here," Jet remarked. "So you finally value me as the leader, hawk?" "I guess I've been feeling jealous ever since you showed up. I did try to ruin your rep by using my shapeshifting, but that only got me into trouble and got my power taken away. If you want, we can let bygones be bygones." "I do." Jet and Rocket then clasped their hands together as a sign that Jet had finally accepted Rocket as the leader of the Babylon Rogues. "Come on. We have to find a way out of this temple," Rocket said before walking off. All of us followed him to see if we could find a way out.
