Episode 3: The Great Fall

Last Time On Sonic The Hedgehog: Post Apocalyptic Future

''Silver! Rouge!'' Jack shouted.

''Intruders.'' One android says. Rouge leaped out of her captive place and kicked the androids back and disabled it. The civilians came in the battle they were facing.

''Rust buckets.'' She muttered and another android charges at her but Tails intercepts by tripping him with his legs and then he pulls out a wire from the bot. Silver forces a wave onto the remaining androids and eliminates them.

''Some of my powers are back.'' Silver responded.

The group arrived to a billboard area in the city. They were in search of a bus for transport. Tails saw a yellow rectangle in the distance and hoped it was a bus. The billboards started lighting up and a weird masquerade mask appeared on the front.

''We are coming.'' The RedShack leader says.

The blood thirsty hackers started ramming the base of the bus. It was a bit of a bumpy ride for the crew. Everyone came across The Mobius Bridge which was half broken on the sides. Techno and his pals drifted their vehicles onto the side the bridge. The bus was about to fall.

It fell down the bridge down on the coarse dirt under the bridge.

This Time:

2 Weeks Ago…

Back In Dr. Gero's mansion in the cold mountains. The freedom fighters had been planning on escaping. Knuckles had dug the a tunnel under his capsule and connected it to the other capsules his friends where inside.

''Alright, lets leave.'' Silver whispered as he held Blaze's hands.

''What about Sonic and Shadow.'' Amy urged. ''And Spencer too.''

''Yeah Silver, they are in different rooms.''

''Its too risky.'' Silver obliged.

''What so we gonna leave our friends!?'' Cloy barks.

''Shut up before they hear us!'' Rouge stuttered.

''Going somewhere?'' A voice behind the freedom fighters says. Tension spotted them trying to escape.

''Not again.'' Blaze muttered. ''What do we do Silver?''

Amy starts running deeper into the mansion. Tension started chasing her as they entered upstairs.

''Lets go!'' Knuckles demanded.

''But Amy.'' Cream mutters.

''Lets go!'' Silver quickly urged.

They ran outside the prison they were in deep into the mountains but then they get caught up by Shadow The Android.

''Good try.'' He chuckles. ''Lets go.'' He stunned everyone except for Silver as he used his psychokinesis to deflect Shadow's powers. ''How did you recover your powers so quickly?''

Silver summons a green ball of power and releases at Shadow but misses. Rouge escaped the area with Blaze. Shadow speeds closer to Silver making the hedgehog head butt the android. He ran as Shadow quickly began to recover. Shadow teleports the remaining who didn't make the escape back.

He later follows Silver and the others deep into the mountains. The three saw him coming and couldn't do anything. He was very fast and he could take them down in one shot.

''I'm sorry Silver.'' Blaze says as she stopped running.

''Blaze?'' Silver called out. ''Lets get out go here!''

''Cya.'' Shadow teleports with Blaze back to the mansion.

''Blaze… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''

Present…

The bus was swept with severe impact from the fall off the bridge. Some people were injured and crying from the pain they had felt. Tails slowly exited the bus from the open window. He looked up if he could've seen The RedShack but they had drifted away. They had fallen onto waterless ground which was covered up of coarse dirt.

Jack helped everybody out of the bus one by one. The civilians took a quick glance of their exact location, under a bridge. At this point, it could take them days just to get back up.

''How do we get there now?'' Tails asserted.

''We look around this big area.'' Jack remarked everyone.

''Now?'' A woman stands up. ''We have injured here.''

''Hold on ma'am, if you're thinking of transport, we are under a bridge.'' Silver says. The area they were under had nothing but a trail of coarse dirt to the other side of Mobius. ''You know what I think? I think this "Sanctuary is a load of bull.''

''Its real, my friend made it there.'' A male wolf says in the crowd.

''Guys. Silver, Rouge, Jack and I should just take turns of looking for a way back up.'' Tails objected.

''Yeah. Good idea.'' Jack agrees.

''Fine.'' Rouge urged.

''Tails and Jack are going first.'' Silver states.

''Fine.'' Jack said.

Jack and Tails grabbed their backpacks that they had stowed into the bus and left the area to find a way to get back up. Luckily, the survivors didn't have to worry about the sunk burning them even though it was almost dark. Tails focused into the distance better and saw a crack on the bridge holders.

''Jack see that?'' Tails points and the supports and Jack takes a quick glance. He observes a hazard on the bridge's support.

''We can get it to fall.'' Jack chimed in making Tails absurd.

''DESTROY IT? It would destroy us.''

''Correct, but what about Silver's powers.''

''We can try.'' But at that moment and strange thing happened. The bridge was already collapsing. Chunks were already falling on the lower level, one was falling at Tails' spot but Jack ascended and punched the concrete away.

''Lets move now!''

Tails and Jack hurried back to the group as soon as possible. Half of the bridge was already down.

''What do we do?'' A child so small asked.

''Silver use your powers.'' Jack told.

''I don't have the power to do that yet.'' Silver reported.

''Oh no.'' Everyone says in unison as the whole bridge comes down. Silver covered himself with both of his hands even though it did nothing. The infrastructure got closer to the ground.

In The Sanctuary…

''Do you feel that?'' Marcus asked The Shadow Hunter.

''What.'' She replies.

''The Mobius Bridge. I feel lots of presences under a collapsing bridge.''

''Are you sure?"

''I think so—'' Marcus tries to continue but a guard came through the office.

''Sir! Sir.'' The guard says.

''What is it?''

''We have a big problem.''

The bridge had stop falling as it froze in midair. It was eccentric.

''We are safe!'' The civilians cheer but it was a little unusual due to how Silver wasn't the one who stopped it. Everyone stepped onto the platform of bridge and tried walking up back to the road.

''The other side is blocked, we have to go 500 metres around the bridge—'' As Tails tried speaking, he was held at gunpoint by Techno's guard. The RedShack was still waiting for the group.

''Well, well. Don't we have some rascals here.'' Techno says.

Jack tried uppercutting Techno but he moved with an electrical fusion which makes him pretty much the speed of light. Techno grabs Jacks arms and pulls out some sort of handcuff. He clipped it on and it electrocuted him.

''Nice try.'' One of Techno's guards say.

''So you gonna take us all into a Ferrari?" Rouge joked. But Techno transforms the Ferrari into a delivery truck.

''Round them up into the truck and make them shut up.'' Techno ordered.

''Wait, just leave us be. We will give you our supplies—'' Techno's guard knocked out Tails making him blackout.

Where will The RedShack take Tails and the others. Will they be imprisoned or killed, or maybe both.
