I raced outside where the Destructix was already at. Simian noticed me first and called me over to the group. I walked up and asked "How are we going to get rid of them?" Scourge shrugged and then Fiona said "We could warp inside and attack form there."
"No need. There Landing." Predator pointed out and we watched them land their ship. Everyone got into fighting stances as a side door opened and Lien-Da stepped out. A smug look was on her face. Everyone tensed up and I guess they hate her too.
Her eyes looked us over and her smile got bigger when she saw me. She snapped her fingers and more doors opened and Legionaries filed out and without a single word past between us we launched into the black wave of legionaries. A lot of them were ready for us but a few were scared. And I noticed. I felt happy to be beside my friends again. Scourge might not trust me or Fiona but Lightning does, and no one else seems to care that I was with the Chaotix before.
As I swung my staff and knocked one to the ground, he yelled and said "Please! Don't hurt me! I'll tell you what she is planning!" I held my staff to his face and said "Talk." He huffed and said "Okay, Grandmaster Lien-Da had us place a bomb inside the temple when we first came here." He pulled back his sleeve to revile a watch and I looked at it and he said "It's going to go off in a few minutes." My blood turned cold and my heart skipped a beat.
"W-Where is it?" I asked and he said "A lab of some sorts. That's all I know!" In a flash I was sprinting back to the temple and Scourge ran up next to me and growled "Where are you-
"There's a bomb inside the temple!" I screamed and rushed inside. Scourge skidded to a halt and turned to tell the others.
Also, the guy who had told me about the bomb stood up. I had no idea that I had been played. "Grandmaster," He said into a communicator. He waited a few seconds before adding "Celty is headed for the lab. She fell into your plan easily." Then he waited and a voice on the other end said "Good, activate the bomb to go off in one minute."
"Yes Grandmaster." He said and headed for the battleship.
Back to Celty…
I flew through the temple faster than I have ever gone before. After this was over I am going to rip that bitch apart…I turned the corner and sprinted down the steps and tried the door knob but it was locked. I banged on it but Finitevus didn't get it. I yelled in frustration and then made an Aura Sphere and blasted the knob.
The door cracked open and I kicked it all the way. I looked around the room and saw Finitevus at the computer and e glanced over his shoulder and said "I would have let you in but I didn't know if you were a legionnaire or not." I huffed and then ran across the room and said "There's a bomb in the temple!" Finitevus stood up from his chair and started to pull a warp ring off when I heard a faint beeping and new the bomb was going off.
I tackled Finitevus behind some boxes just as the explosion followed. Flames and smoke filled the room and some of the roof caved in. Just as quickly the explosion came, it was done.
My ears were ringing from the noise. I moved my back leg a bit and sharp pain spread through it. I looked over to see the glass was stabbed into it. I tried to push myself up but I hurt too much. I was burned some places or things had fallen on me and left marks. Then a thought came to my head. Was Finitevus okay? I opened my eyes but everything was a blur. I coughed a bit and then took shallow breaths.
"C-Celty?" a voice called but I couldn't respond other than I twitched my ear. I heard noise and I tried my aura. At first nothing came up. Just darkness but then the world unfolded in front of my eyes. Blue light filled the room as I serched for Finitevus.
He was leaning against the wall, and looking around the distroyed lab. "Celty?" He called out and this time I called back to him.
"I'm...here F-Finitevus." My voice was dry and quiet but he heard. He started to walk over here leaning against the wall. Soon he reached me and slid down to sit on the ground. Looks like he was exsausted.
"Tell me..." Finitevus started and then said "If you knew you could get hurt like this, why come back and save me?" That's right. He dosn't understand self sacrafice.
"B-bcause your my friend Finitevus." I could tell he was suprised. "But that doesn't tell me why." He said and I heaved a sigh.
"I did it because...well, I was afraid, and friends help one another." I said and he was quiet then said "But look were it got you. That was a foolish thing to do."
"Foolish to save your life? Fin...there is another reason why I did what I did." I said and then I opened my eyes and the blurs were becoming clear. The ringing in my ears stopped and I took deeper breaths.
"And what was that other reason?" he asked and I took a deep breath. "Finitevus...I L-"
"Yo! Anyone in here?" Someone yelled out...Scourge! After Scourge had called that, the rest of the Destructix called out our names. I wasn't even sure what part of the lab we were in or where the others were at.
I raised my head to call to them but when I tried to call, words was not came out of my mouth. Pain went through my chest and before I knew it, I coughed up something. when I looked at it, crimson dropps formed a small puddle. I had coughed up blood.
I heard a gasp and then Finitevus yelled "Scourge! Over here!" A rush of wind and Scourge pused past some of the debree. Scourge waved to the others and I heard more noise but everything started spinning. No, I will not black out!
"Are you two okay?" Scourge asked coming closer and Finitevus stood up not leaning against the wall. He said something to Scourge but I didn't hear. I closed my eyes and decided to look through my Aura. Everyone was here.
And others. My eyes flashed open and I said "T-The Dark Egg Legion!" Just as I said that, sounds of fightning came from somewhere in the room and Scourge went off to help his team mates.
Finitevus turned back to me, he then looked back at the exit and where Scourge was fighting with the Destructix against the D.E.L. Next thing I knew, I was picked up off the ground and held bridel style.
A warp ring opened and we went through it. Where we ended up suprised me. We were at the Master Emerald shrine. But Finitevus payed no attention to the huge Emerald. He just walked down a few steps and sat down waiting.
I just looked out over the land and pressed my head into his white fur. I wonder, if this was Felidae said would suprise everyone and no one would see it coming...But as I sat there in his arms, I knew the worst has yet to come.
"Why are we here?" I finaly asked and Finitevus said "I'm waiting for Knuckles." I simply blinked and then looked at the Master emerald and I moved my hand and shot a very small Aura Sphere at the gem. It glowed faintly and then stopped.
"W-What about the others?" I asked worried and he said "I'll go back for them." Suddenly Knuckles burts through the trees followed by Espio, Julie-Su, and Felidae. Knuckles glared at Finitevus but Felidae pushed past them all and like a bullet she was next to me freaking out.
"Celty!" she screamed and took me away from Finitevus. Felidae glared at Finitevus and before she could punch him off the Island I said "The Dark Egg Legion, they had put a bomb in the temple."
Felidae calmed down and then Finitevus said "Take her to a hospital. She needs medical attention right away." And without another word he walked through a warp ring just as Knckles made it up the shrine and the ring disappeared.
Knuckles cursed under his breath and then turned to Felidae and asked "Why did you let himget away?" Felidae simple pointed to me and Knuckles calmed down and then asked "What the hell happened to her?"
"She got cought in an exsplosion. The Dark Egg Legion did this." Felidae said and then added "Can I have a warp ring to go to the hospital Knuckles? She needs help." KNuckles looked like he was going to say no until once again I coughed up blood. and Felidae glared at him and he hadded her a golden ring and Felidae jumped through it.
