"Are you sure that you're alright?" Vector asked me as something came into our line of sight as the shuttle headed straight for it.

"I'm fine." I told him. "Don't worry about me, you've seen me shrug off more serious wounds than what happened with the wall earlier."

"That was then and this is now. This is not a game Kai, this is the real thing."

"I know. We won't get a second chance at this, won't we?"

"Yeah, which means that if we find other members of the resistance up there, we have to leave them there."

"Even Kaity? I'm sure that nobody will have a problem with us rescuing a few of them!"

"But what if that costs us the chance to rescue Sonic?"

"So, you're saying that only Sonic matters and that we should leave everyone else up here?!"

"I don't like it and I know that you don't like it but we have to. We can't rescue everyone, besides, this shuttle isn't big enough to hold everyone."

I clenched my fists and I tried to hide that I had started to cry, I didn't like it but Vector was right, we had to save Sonic, it was the only thing that we could do, even if it meant that to rescue him, we had to leave everyone else behind.

I couldn't keep my eyes open so I drifted off to sleep in my chair.

I couldn't take my eyes off of what I was seeing. "No, not again. Please! I don't want to see this again!" I tried to close my eyes, to block out what I was seeing, when a obnoxious sound blasted through the square, causing everything, but the laser that was heading towards me to stop.

"NO!" I yelled as I woke up, falling out of my chair.

"It was just a dream." I placed my hand over my stomach. "It wasn't real, that happened six months ago."

I looked up as the communicators crackled and the voice of our spy came through them, pushing away the images of that day, in the City, six months ago.

"Knuckles! Can you hear me?"

"Rouge!" The Commander responded. "It's about time! How's Sonic doing?"

"He's been better. They're getting ready to banish him into space."

"What?" Silver yelled. "You can't be serious!"

"Eggman's been keeping Sonic alive all this time. He's been waiting to show him his completed empire before banishing him."

"And he's been torturing Sonic just to pass the time." The Commander had a frown on his face. "That's low, even for Eggman."

"It's not complete though." I spoke up. "There's us and that little bit of earth that he hasn't conquered, so why is he banishing Sonic now? Even though his empire is not complete. Why?"

"Eggman got wind of our rescue plan and is moving forward with his plan ahead of schedule. The clock is ticking, boss."

"But we don't even know where he's being held captive." Amy said.

"We're looking at it." I looked at what our shuttle was heading towards. "That's where he is, that's where we need to go because I don't see anything that could be a prison, apart from the moon and we would notice it, wouldn't we?"

"Yes, we would." The Commander said. "It would be impossible to hide it on the side of the moon that we can see from Earth and you can't hide every space craft that would be heading for the Dark Side of the Moon, someone would see one eventually and tell somebody and we would find out about it when anyone that knows about it, tells one of us but a prison in space itself, that's a lot harder to find, because it can move around. Any space craft that went up there could be sent up there for the ores inside of any asteroids floating around up there or for aerial recon."

"What you guys are seeing is the Death Egg." Rouge told us. "That's where he's keeping Sonic."

"The Death Egg." Vector said. "Oh man, that's not good."

"None of this is good Vector." The Commander said. "That's why it's called "War." You all know what to do. Let's go and get Sonic and bring him home."

Vector nodded his head before he ended up the call. I looked at him. "Vector, what's the Death Egg?"

"It's the first space station that Eggman ever build. He's rebuilt it again and again over the years, with each Egg becoming more deadlier than it's predecessors. It's his ultimate weapon and the birthplace for many of his stronger robots, including Metal Sonic. It's been destroyed and heavily damaged but he finds a way to fix it and use it again."

"Do you think that Kaity could be imprisoned on that thing?"

"I don't know but I do know one thing."

"And what's that?"

"I don't want her to be a prisoner on that thing, because you know what would happen if she is."

"I know and I don't want to make that choice."
