Ruined Emerald Hill Zone
Time: 12:00
Lime, the cute little fox. The sweet, innocent little fox/plant hybrid. He was gone. He had been replaced with Lime, the rough, strong 16 year old that had had to grow up too fast. Luna had been with him all the way, the only one that had been with him all the way. If things were different then they would be going out. But that, of course, was not the case. She bounded alongside him and he stole a glance over at her. He hadn't been able to protect anyone else. He WOULD protect her, even if it cost him his life.
*flashback*
Lime blew out the candles and everyone clapped. "What did you wish for, dear?" Cosmo asked, walking up behind him. "If I tell you then it won't come true!" He laughed. Then the ground started to rumble beneath the house...
*end flashback*
Lime was pulled out of his thoughts as Luna yelped and jumped as high into the air as she could, narrowly avoiding the laser beam. They both looked around wildly for the source, but they couldn't really see. Well, he couldn't. "Over there!" Luna ran toward the robot she had seen (one thing Lime hated was the fact that he had to rely on Luna's eyes at night, for he hadn't gotten his father's excellent eyesight) and Lime followed. They were soon surrounded by three of their friend's clones: Charmy, Rouge, and Cream. But they were clones, not their actual friends. They both took up a fighting stance, Luna trapping Charmy in her psychokinetic field while Lime kicked him square in the head. He disappeared in a field of smoke, and Lime and Luna were left coughing. While neither of them could see, Rouge planted a kick square in Limes head and Cream proceeded to knock out Luna's legs from under her. They lay dazed for a second and when Luna had regained her composure enough she locked the both of them in her field. Lime flew up into the air and gave Rouge the full payback and hit her right in the middle of the head. She too disappeared, and Luna threw Charmy against the nearest building, which had been toppled over by the impact. They walked up to each other and gave a small nod, then they were off. They were on their way to the main building to stop the clone machine before He could make clones of the captured Sonic. For one thing they could not stand by and watch their friend be destroyed, and if he was able to make clones of Sonic they wouldn't have a chance against him. They continued to run until they came across a small warp zone, just big enough for the two of them to fit through. Lime proceeded to enter when he felt a hand touch his shoulder. "Lime it's obviously a trap..." Luna's silky voice was lined with worry, and her eyes said everything. Lime nodded "I know. But it's our best shot at rescuing our friend." She nodded and he entered, with her following close behind.
