Chapter 2 The Fallen
As they enter the platform, Tikal spoke. "what's wrong?". "I found something that will approve that Luke can't be trusted". "so why do you need us then?" said Sonic as he sat in the corner. Just then Breeze press a red button on the panel and a alarm went off. "I need you guys to be bait for Jumper. Bring him to the 100 floor" said Breeze as she exited on the 91 floor. "what! Wait!" yelled Sonic as he got up but it was too late, she was gone. As they exited on the 100 floor, they could see the door opens and enter it. They could see a very, very huge room and on the sides of the walls was millions of stasis cells. Sonic whistle as he look around. "this is amazing! This technology is so advance!" said Tails as he walk over to a stasis cell. As Tails wipe away the dust from the tube, he step back as he scream in horror. Sonic and Tikal ran over to Tails. "what's wrong Tails?" said Tikal as she tired to calm down Tails. Tails could only point to the cell and so Sonic walk over to it. Sonic look in and step back and turn to them. "…what is that thing?". just then Sonic was kick in the back as Jumper appear be hide him. "what are you doing here? Answer me!" yelled Jumper. Tikal and Tails help Sonic up and he spoke. "…look into the cell…this Luke guy is…". Jumper was about to look till the lights came on. Everyone turn and saw a red tiger with a group of soldiers. "good work old pal! I'll take care of them. Stand back". "Luke?". suddenly Breeze voice was heard around the room through the speakers. "Jumper! Look into the cells! This will show you I was right about him!". "Jumper! Don't listen!". Jumper look into the stasis cell and step back and look into other cells and turned to Luke. "what the hell did you do!" said Jumper as he grab Luke. "what do you mean old pal?". "Answer me! What are those things? Where are our people?". "…those things are the new life forms of this new world!" said Luke as he smile. Within the cells was half people of this world and half monster. A hybrid(like that monster from the reactor in Clouds flashback in Final Fantasy 7 but half animal). "do you know why the Orro came here?". "to kill us! What else!". suddenly Luke started to laugh. "…wrong! They came here to restart their race! As they attack the base, I saw how beautiful they were! I showed their leader this place and they infected them!". "…your insane!" said Jumper as he let him go. "me? Insane? Jumper listen to me! Our race might have fallen but they will rise again! Rise as a prefect life form!" said Luke as he rose his hands into the air. "we're going to stop you!" said Jumper as he ran at Luke. Suddenly the two soldiers blasted a beam at Jumper. Jumper armor started to shutdown. "…a EMP blast!" said Jumper as he tired to move. "…your nothing like the real Jumper! He would have join me". "…what? You mean…". Luke left and the soldiers pointed their guns at Jumper but was blasted by Sonic wind attack. Sonic dash over to Jumper and turn to him. "hey! Can you still move?". "…hey are you okay?" said Jumper to himself. Sonic turn to Tails and Tikal and did the coco clock thing with his hand. Just then the ground near them broke apart and a drill like machine appear(like the drill from Sonic Rush 2) and Breeze pop out and called for them. "lets go guys!". everyone enter the machine and escape.
The drill surface out of the street and Breeze show the gang to a broken down warehouse. "so what now?" said Tikal as she sat in a chair. Breeze sat down and put her hands on her face. "I don't know…". "hey I know! Will you guys help me take this off! This armor is heavy" said Jumper as he slowly walk over to the others. Jumper showed Tails where the release button and the suit came off. "this suit is amazing! What's its fuel supply?" said Tails as he set it on a table. Jumper walk over and open the chest panel. "oh just this". Sonic, Tails and Tikal was in shock to see a golden emerald. "it's one of the emeralds that Jumper and Flare found. This suit is one of a kind" said Breeze. "that's why I need someone to fix it…if only we had someone with that skill…". Tails walk up to Jumper and smile. "look no farther my friend! I can fix anything!". "what! You can! Thank you!". in the next room, where the drill is park, the gang was eating and making a plan to stop Luke while waiting for Tails to be done with the suit. "…hey Breeze…". "yeah Jumper?". "…am I a clone…like the others?". Sonic and Tikal stop eating as they saw Breeze became sad. "…Luke told you didn't he…yes its true. The day when the real Jumper and Flare beat back the Orro with the emeralds…they died from their wounds…". Jumper stood up and was about speak in till someone scream in the other room. Everyone ran into the room and saw Jumper suit standing in front of a scare Tails. Sonic was about to attack till Jumper walk up to it. "its okay Ami!". suddenly a small hologram of a female green cat appear in front of the suit. "he was going to deflower me!" cried Ami. "what! No! I was just fixing you" said Tails quickly. "really! Then why did you open my chest?". "I was fixing some chips in there!". "Ami calm down. Please!". Ami turn to Jumper and blush. "…sorry". the suit lay back down on the table and Ami disappear. "who was that just now?" said Sonic as he poke the suit. "sorry Tails. Everyone that was Ami, my A.I. partner. The soldiers in our army are issue with one". "…that will explain why you speak to yourself…" said Sonic as he turn to him. "…what?…Ami…". suddenly Ami reappear. "…oops I forgot to turn on my speaker…". Tails walk over to Ami and check her out. "…stop checking me out!" said Ami as she blush. "amazing! This A.I. is so advance! It even has feelings!". "she's the only A.I. with feelings. it's a shame I found her in a old storage room with old and broken junk. I'm happy I met her" said Jumper as he smile at her. "…really Jumper…". "yeah of course!". suddenly Ami blush bright red and disappear.
A hour later and everyone was in the drill and was looking at a hologram of the base from Jumpers helmet. "we need to take down the commander center and the stasis room will power down and kill those things before they could fully infect the whole body of their victims" said Jumper as he pointed to the 98 floor. Jumper turn to Tails and Tikal. "Tails and Tikal. its up to you to shut down the computer". "got it!" said both of them. "Sonic. You and Breeze will head to the supply area near the hanger. There you will find the emeralds I took". "okay but what about you?" Said Sonic. "do you really need to ask?'.
