I am very sorry, I lost this after I finished it (I forgot to save). So to remind me to always save I put something in here I find quite silly!

Also, there was a reason the last chapter was mainly about Sonic and pals. It's the same with this chapter. Enjoy!

The Resistance: Chapter 12

The Claw

( watch?v=3Qw10LYqye4)

Amy and Honey grabbed Knuckles by his arms, while Tails stood in front of Sonic. Nana and Popo grabbed Knuckles from behind. Knuckles struggled to break free, for he REALLY wanted to hit Sonic.

"Let me go! Let me wipe that look off his face!" Knuckles cried angrily as Sonic stood there with a smirk.

"Knuckles violence isn't going to help at all!" Tails told him.

"What's with you and violence?" Amy asked.

"Knuckles just has a short temper. Many things can set him off." Tails sighed.

"I DON'T HAVE A TEMPER!" The echidna yelled.

"Someone needs to take a chill pill." Honey mumbled.

"What was that?" Knuckles asked, his attention now on the cat girl.

"I'm just saying. So the guy did a few things that set you off, it's not like he actually hit you or anything. Don't you think you're overreacting?"

"I think you're underreacting…"

"This is getting us nowhere." Nana sighed.

"Well you have to admit, this is entertaining." Popo let out a slight chuckle.

"I'm telling you, let me go!" Knuckles whined.

"No, because you're going to go pick fights you can't win." Honey scolded him.

That remark made Knuckles even angrier. He broke away, sending the five holding onto him back. However instead of charging at Sonic, Knuckles went straight to Honey.

"What do you MEAN I can't win?" He yelled at her.

Honey stood up off the ground and dusted herself off. She then stared at Knuckles with a cold expression. "First of all, it's not nice to yell at a young lady. Second, he obviously looks stronger than you; he could probably knock you out with a single punch. Third, you need a breath mint. And finally, give me one reason I shouldn't kick you right now."

Knuckles' face was as red as his fur. "You little daughter of -"

Amy jumped in between the two. "Knuckles that's enough!"

He then turned to Amy. "I'll TELL you when it's enough! Nobody tells me what to do! I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell! This cat girl needs to know that!"

(Unintentional reference)

"Knuckles please calm down…" Tails mumbled.

Knuckles then turned to Tails. "Oh I'm calm. I get upset when people tell me to calm down and I'm already calm. You think THIS is angry? You haven't seen anything yet. So all of you can just SHUTUP!"

As soon as the last sentence was out of his mouth, Sonic rushed up to Knuckles and kicked him. Knuckles held against a scream as he looked at the hedgehog with a serious expression.

( watch?v=u5BrZjdLKiU)

"So Mr. Silent wants me to shut up, is that right?" Knuckles said through his teeth.

Sonic did not remove his foot, nor did he reply. The room was silent for several moments as the two rivals stared at each other.

"Well Mr. Silent should meet a friend of mine." Knuckles said after a long period of silence.

Knuckles raised his fist and punched Sonic right in the face, knocking back a few feet away from Knuckles. Sonic covered his face with his hands.

"Sonic, meet Mr. Fist. He wants you to meet his wife and two kids as well." Knuckles then ran to Sonic once more.

Sonic jumped out of the way to avoid a head smash from Knuckles. Knuckles quickly retaliated by rapidly throwing his fist at Sonic. The hedgehog easily avoided each punch with his super speed. Knuckles, getting even more frustrated, kicked Sonic. This move surprised Sonic, sweeping him off his feet. Knuckles then sent him back with a kick to the face. Sonic however recovered while in the air, and firmly planted his feet on the wall. Sonic ran up the wall to avoid another punch by Knuckles. The punch was so strong that a hole was made, which was expected. Sonic quickly jumped off the roof and kicked Knuckles sending him outside. The five watched the two through the hole.

"Look at them go…" Nana said, amazed.

Knuckles attacked Sonic with a spinning kick, but the hedgehog countered with a running punch. Sonic then attempted to kick Knuckles, but Knuckles blocked the attack with his own feet. Sonic then attempted a close-up spin attack, but Knuckles grabbed Sonic and tossed him into the forest. Knuckles then ran after him.

"Sonic's speed is enough to cancel out Knuckles strength." Tails said. "They don't normally fight, but they do it when they need to let off steam or settle an agreement."

"Am I going to have to get used to his attitude?" Amy asked sighing.

"Unfortunately."

"Hey wait a minute…" Popo said, pointing at the sky. "Wasn't there a massive air fleet in the sky when we left?"

The small group looked in the sky. There was only one porkship left, and it wasn't very far away.

"Whoever designed that ship doesn't have very good fashion sense." Honey said.

"The real question is what happened to the air fleet?" Tails asked.

"They went back to base." An eerie voice echoed throughout the room. The group turned around, but saw nothing.

"Who's there?" Amy asked.

"Who, me? I'm just a humble servant of master Porky. I have been ordered to kidnap the group of resisters here so he may brainwash them. However I did not expect animals to be here, let alone that they could talk and wear clothes."

"Hey you don't know us!" Tails cried.

"True, but no animal in this world can talk without being researched and experimented on." The voice said. "Except those save frogs. No matter, I shall take you back to the lab so you can be turned into chimeras."

"I'd like to see you try!" Honey yelled at the strange voice.

"Hmph, such ignorance! Someone such as yourself should be punished. Very well, you shall be my first victim!"

Suddenly a huge, pink claw came out of the shadows and grabbed Honey. She let out a piercing shriek as she was pulled into the darkness just as quickly as she was grabbed.

( watch?v=aKzRhveK7sQ)

"Holy rings in a row!" Tails exclaimed. "What have you done with Honey?"

"Oh, just giving her the proper treatment brats such as her deserve." The voice let out a horrible laugh. "Who shall be next?"

The pink claw came back out of the shadows, only this time it came from the ceiling. It dropped down and grabbed the ice climbers and pulled them back into the ceiling. Amy and Tails stared dumbfounded.

"Oh this is so much fun!" The voice laughed. "Three little bugs down, two to go."

"Come on Amy, we have to get out of here!" Tails cried. Amy nodded while Tails grabbed her hand and jumped out the hole in the wall. The two headed into the forest.

"We can't leave them Tails; we need to help them somehow!" Amy told him as they ran."

"I know that Amy." Tails told her. "That's why we have to find Sonic and Knuckles. If they get caught, who knows what could happen to them."

"I can tell you that if you just ask." The voice echoed. Tails and Amy ran faster, avoiding the trees. "They're going to that ship in the sky. That's master Porky's main ship. He wishes to deal with them now. Why don't you join them?"

The pink claw extended from a tree ahead of the two. This caught Tails off guard, causing him and Amy to fall. Because they fell, the claw narrowly missed grabbing them.

"Darn, I missed."

"Hurry, we don't have much time!" Amy said. She and Tails crawled out from under the claw and kept moving.

"That claw can appear from the trees too!" Tails exclaimed. "I don't know how long this guy will play with us until he gets serious, so we better hurry."

"I'm right behind you Tails." Amy assured him.

"But how long will you stay behind him?" The voice asked.

The pink claw appeared through the ground right in between the two, separating them. The claw reached for Amy, but she jumped over it. She quickly took out her hammer and smashed the claw. However it had no effect. The claw threw Amy off into a nearby tree, knocking her out. It reached for her once more, but Tails swooped in and grabbed her, leading her to safety. The claw then went after Tails. Tails was prepared to jump out of the way like Amy did, but the claw grabbed one of his legs instead, making him trip. Tails grabbed a nearby tree and held on for dear life. Amy flew out of his arms and rolled across the ground, out of Tails' sight.

She brushed against a certain hedgehog's feet.

Sonic, who was holding Knuckles' fist trying to prevent a punch, noticed Amy. He was, however, distracted long enough to allow Knuckles to kick him in the stomach. The hedgehog fell down in pain right next to Amy. When Knuckles noticed Amy lying next to Sonic, he helped her up. Much to his dismay, he also helped Sonic up.

"What do you think Amy is doing all the way out here?" Knuckles asked Sonic as he clutched his stomach. Knuckles could not help but grin.

"Someone, anyone, help!" Tails voice could be heard from far away.

Upon hearing his little buddy's voice, Sonic rushed over to the direction of the voice, leaving Knuckles to carry Amy. Knuckles ran after Sonic, however he lost sight of him due to the "extra weight." Knuckles eventually caught up with the blue blur, who was trying to free Tails from a giant claw.

"Don't just stand there Knuckles, help me get out of this mess!" Tails cried, tears streaming down his cheeks. Sonic was attacking the pink claw, trying to break it, but to no avail.

"This is where I prove to be stronger than Sonic." Knuckles thought to himself while watching. He placed Amy down and then he rushed up to the claw. With one punch of his fist, the claw did not break, but it did let Tails go. Tails collapsed to the ground, finally glad he could let go of the tree. Sonic helped Tails up while Knuckles picked up Amy and walked over. Tails was breathing really hard as he held on to his right leg. It had a dark, deep red bruise.

"What the heck was that?" Knuckles asked Tails.

"I don't know…but it took the…others…." Tails muttered. "Amy and…I ran away to…find…you, but we…were cornered…oww…"

"Can you walk?" Knuckles asked.

"I can hardly stand…" Tails said in an unhappy tone.

Sonic picked up Tails and placed him on his back.

"Hey, where'd the claw go?" Knuckles asked.

The three looked around, but the claw was nowhere in sight.

"I don't know…but it's…abnormal…can disappear…and reappear…" Tails muttered.

"We gotta get out of here!" Knuckles cried.

"Oh, but the fun's just beginning!" Cried a voice.

Sonic and Knuckles and ran back to the base. Sonic grabbed Knuckles hand and used his speed to get away. In a matter of moments, the three were back at the base. The room was bare, except for the master emerald, which oddly stayed untouched. Knuckles rushed up to the emerald to make sure it was okay. It was then Tails noticed something.

"Knuckles…where's Amy?" Tails asked tiredly.

Knuckles froze in place.

"I think I…might have…dropped her…"

Sonic smacked his forehead as soon as Knuckles finished the sentence.

"YOU LEFT HER OUT THERE?" Tails exclaimed.

"I must have forgotten when Sonic grabbed me!" He retorted.

"How do you forget what you're carrying?"

'Don't judge me!"

Sonic put Tails down gently on the floor, and then rushed back out. He dashed through the forest in search of the pink hedgehog. By the time he found her, the pink claw was already reaching for her. However Sonic, being faster, scooped up Amy right before the claw could, and dashed in the direction the claw came from. However that claw was extending from a tree, which Sonic narrowly avoided. He dashed through the forest; for he didn't need to look back to know the claw was right behind him. He kept hearing the words "You can run, but that's all you can do." in his head. He sprinted up a tree that was in front of him, and then jumped off. The claw went straight into the tree, tearing it into pieces. Landing on the claw, the hedgehog ran back to the base carrying Amy, while the claw retracted. However, instead of leading to a tree, it lead to the base. As soon as Sonic arrived, he saw Tails and Knuckles on the floor. He jumped off the claw and looked at the two. However, while he was distracted, the claw grabbed all four animals, and pulled them into the darkness. Everything in the room was gone, even the master emerald…

-a few hours later—

". . .o…"

" . . ni…

"S…c…"

"Sonic!"

Sonic awoke in a small dungeon cell. The cell had a skeleton in the corner next to a board. A small torch was hanging from the wall. To Sonic, the room didn't even look like a jail cell. He then remembered someone calling his name. He looked around his cell. There was no one else in the cell with him. He looked out the gate bars. He couldn't see anyone he knew; in fact they were all empty! He sat on the cold ground and listened to see if he could define the voice.

"Sonic! I need your help! You always help me, even when I don't need it, so come on and help me now! Sonic! I know you're around here somewhere! Sonic!"

The voice sounded like Tails.

"FOR PORK'S SAKE, SHUT UP YOU LITTLE FUR FREAK!"

That sounded like the voice that Sonic heard as he ran.

Sonic curled into his spin dash position and charged up the attack. He knocked into the bars, but could not escape. He tried the attack again, and received the same results. He thought for a moment before realizing something very vital.

The chaos emeralds where gone!

Now panicking, Sonic paced around the room, wondering how he could get out. There was no windows, the floor was too hard to drill through, the bars where made of iron, and the bars where too close together for him to squeeze through.

Suddenly, a pigmask walked by. He stared at Sonic.

"Hey Billy, this one's awake!" He called.

"Johnson I thought you said it was dead." Another called back.

"Well it looked dead at the time…" Johnson held his head down as another pigmask came by.

"Dammit Johnson, you make me look bad when you screw up!" He yelled.

"Sorry Billy…" Johnson muttered.

"Now what are we going to do?" Billy held his head down as well. "Master Porky will have our bacons fried and eat them in front of us for giving him a false report."

Sonic then got an idea. He grabbed the torch hanging from the wall and tiptoed over to the pigmask. He stuck it out far enough so it could just barely touch one.

It touched Johnson, making his uniform catch on fire.

"You smell something?" Johnson asked, looking up.

Billy looked up as well, and noticed the smoke coming from Johnson's pants. "JOHNSON, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT SMOKING WHILE ON DUTY?"

Johnson looked at his pants. "CRAP!" He yelled as he ran off. Sonic felt bad for the pigmask, although that did not stop him from holding his sides from the silly sight. It was then that Billy noticed Sonic holding the torch.

"So, you thought you pull a fast one on us pigmask?" He said, opening the gate. "Looks like I'll have to shut you up…"

Sonic dashed past the pigmask and kicked him inside, and then slammed down the gate.

( watch?v=rPP8ADrKQu0)

"What the-"

By the time the pigmask had gotten up, Sonic was gone.

Sonic ran throughout the long halls of the dungeon. Each cell he looked in was empty. However someone had left their mark in each cell by leaving a skeleton inside. Sonic ran up the nearest flight of stairs. He looked around, noticing that the room was full of pigmask. They all stared at him.

"A chimera escaped?" Asked one.

"Catch it!" Exclaimed another.

Sonic blasted his way through the pigmask with a charged spin dash, knocking over each solider with ease. Not having time to rest, Sonic ran throughout the halls in search of anyone he knew. However all he saw were pigmask (or pink, green, blue, and white blurs, to be exact). He broke down doors in order to advance, and ran over not-so innocent people, leaving a blue streak behind him. He then came across a laboratory. Inside, he saw Tails tied up, which caused him to stop.

"Sonic, there you are!" Tails exclaimed as Sonic untied him. "I was worried they may have done something to you!" The two shared a hug.

"Quickly, it went this way!" Shouted a pigmask.

Sonic quickly broke the hug and grabbed Tails' hand. Not wasting a second, Sonic ran out of the room with Tails.

"Sonic, I saw a robot take Knuckles to the third floor!" Tails exclaimed.

Sonic nodded in response, heading up the next flight of stairs.

Upon entering the next room, Sonic bumped into someone with a well-built body, causing him and Tails to fall. It turned out to be a pigmask.

"More runaways?" He asked. "I have m-" However he didn't get a chance to finish the sentence, because he was knocked down by Knuckles.

"Someone need rescuing?" He asked, extending his hand.

Sonic took his hand with a smile.

"I'd say sorry for earlier, but we have some friends to rescue." He grinned.

"We don't have time to waste, we better hurry!" Tails said.

The three ran down the hallway, leading to a hot spring.

"This hot spring makes you feel relaxed in moments." Knuckles said with a smile. He walked over to it, but Tails stopped him.

"No time to bathe Knuckles, we gotta keep moving." Tails told him.

Knuckles was a bit reluctant, but eventually agreed. The three heroes went into the next room, only to find it empty. Not even a chair was located in the room.

"What's with this room?" Knuckles asked.

The three walked throughout the room. There really was nothing there, not even a trap.

"I guess there's nothing left." Knuckles said.

"Let's keep going." Tails said.

The three exited the room. As soon as they did, they backed up into the room, for the pathway was blocked off by numerous pigmask. Soon the whole room was filled with Pigmask. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles each took a fighting stance.

"INCOMMING!"

At the sound of that voice, Johnson, still with his clothes on fire, ran through the room, setting the other pigmask on fire. It didn't take long until the whole room smelt of burning skin and had pigmask running around on fire. Tails flew Sonic and Knuckles out of the room.

"Phew, that was lucky." Knuckles said.

"Hey look!" Tails exclaimed.

Inside a capsule were the ice climbers, floating around like an unstable experiment. The capsule was glowing green, and the two kids seemed to be in pain. The three rushed over to it. Sonic did a spin jump in an attempt to break the capsule, but it didn't work. Knuckles tried to break the capsule open with his fist, but it didn't work either.

"It looks like we might need a password." Tails said.

"Or we can smash it, sounds much easier." Knuckles said.

"Was it any easier?" Tails gave Knuckles a rhetorical look.

"…"

"Let me think for a moment…" Tails said, ignoring Knuckles. "This ship is ruled by master Porky…all the pigmask here respect him highly…"

Tails put in the words. "Master Porky Rocks!"

"Security system disabled."

The capsule opened up, and then Nana and Popo fell out and onto the floor. Tails checked for a life pulse.

"They're barely alive; their energy must have been drained." He said.

"Then let's find Honey and Amy and get out of here." Knuckles said.

A frog hopped passed the three. They all stared at it.

"Save your game?" The frog asked, hopping.

"I don't think I understand the question." Knuckles said.

"Do you want me to save your game?" The frog asked.

"Sure, why not?" Tails asked.

"Okay, give me your names." The frog demanded.

"That's Sonic, I'm Tails, that's Knuckles, and the two on the floor are Popo and Nana."

"Ok, give me a moment."

". . ." The three stared at the frog.

"Saving…" The frog said.

With a hop, the frog smiled. "Give my regards to the next frog you meet." The frog then hopped off.

"What did we just do?" Knuckles asked.

"I don't even know myself." Tails said. "Let's just keep going. We can't leave without Amy and Honey, so they must be nearby!"

Knuckles picked up the two ice climbers and followed Sonic and Tails into the next room. This room had a sinister feeling to it. The room looked futuristic, for it had electrical cords hanging on the walls. Sparks of energy could be seen emitting from the cords. In the center was a chair, but no one was sitting in it. The room looked more like an arena. Amy and Honey were inside separate capsules.

"Look, they're in the same capsules the ice climbers where in!" Tails exclaimed.

"We have to get them out!" Knuckles cried.

Sonic ran up to Amy's capsule, then to Honey's. Tails and Knuckles stood behind them.

"There doesn't seem to be a place where we can put in a password…" Tails said, staring at the capsules. "I guess we have to break them this time."

"Stand back guys, I got this." Knuckles said, flexing his muscles. Sonic and Tails stood back like Knuckles said. Knuckles jumped onto Honey's capsule. He then smashed his fist into the top of the capsule. He put in a small crack.

"Ok, now I want you two to charge a spin dash attack and rush into the capsule now." Knuckles told them.

Sonic and Tails did as they were told and charged up their spin dashes. Knuckles jumped off and glided towards the wall. Sonic went first, breaking the capsule. Tails went right after Sonic, and grabbed Honey.

"Not bad guys." Knuckles said, clinging to the wall. He then jumped off the wall and glided over towards Amy's capsule. "Let's do it one more time." He smashed his fist into Amy's capsule. Only this time he didn't leave a crack. Noticing this, Knuckles tried again. However he got the same result.

"Strange…not a single crack this time…" Knuckles sighed.

Sonic looked at the capsule. He jumped on top of it without warning, knocking Knuckles down. He stomped on the capsule, putting a crack in it. He motioned for Tails and Knuckles to come over. Noticing this and knowing what he meant, Tails and Knuckles started kicking the capsule as well, putting more cracks in it."

"All together now!" Tails exclaimed. "1…2…3!"

The three heroes all smashed their foots into the capsule as soon as Tails said three. The capsule broke, causing Sonic to land on Amy. Tails helped him up, and then checked for Amy's life pulse. Noticing this, Knuckles did the same to Honey.

"Amy's still alive." Tails said.

"So his Honey." Knuckles said. "No we need to get out of here fast."

"Maybe we should use the chaos emeralds!" Tails exclaimed.

Sonic froze at the idea. As the two stared at him, he gave them a sorrowful expression.

"Don't tell me…you had all seven chaos emeralds…and lost each one of them."

Sonic nodded.

Knuckles grabbed Sonic by the shoulders. "ARE YOU CRAZY? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?"

Sonic only stared at Knuckles with a silly grin.

"I know where they are."

Sonic and Knuckles looked at Tails.

"I didn't say that!" Tails said.

"Of course he didn't. It was me."

"That voice!" Knuckles exclaimed.

Sitting in the chair was the mastermind himself, Porky. The three stared at him. He pressed a button on his throne. The seven chaos emeralds appeared around the room.

"I took them from that hedgehog when we thought he was dead. And here I thought these weapons of mass destruction only existed in a video game." Porky chuckled at the thought.

"What have you done to our friends?" Tails asked.

Porky waggled a finger. "Don't you want to know about your enemies too?"

With a snap of his fingers, Dr. Robotnik, Metal Sonic, Vector, Charmy, Espio, Fang, and even Mighty were on the floor unconscious.

"Poor fools tried to take over the ship. I admit they got far, but not far enough."

"What did you do to them?" Knuckles yelled.

"They where simply in the way of my latest weapon. They thought it was strong before, but they haven't seen it with the chaos emeralds' power! You can tell it to them…in the afterlife!"

With a snap of his fingers the room went pitch black. Nothing could be seen.

Except, piercing, red eyes, and the glow of the chaos emeralds.

This is the last time we will see any Sonic members for a while, so look at their save file! xD
