Chapter 11: Here We Go!
Vector and Kyousuke are still walking through the city, walking towards the base in the sky where Eggman and Theotrin are, as Kyousuke starts to get annoyed that they aren't making much progress at all.
"We're never going to stop them at this rate!" Kyousuke says annoyed, as he's kicking the ground while walking in annoyance. Vector is seen following behind Kyousuke while they start to exit the large city onto a hill, leading into a very large lake in the area.
"Well, how else do you think we're gonna get to them you know?" Vector asks as Kyousuke picks up a large rock from the ground, tossing it in his hand and looking at Eggman's base sitting in the sky.
"Good point." Kyousuke says while staring at Eggman's base, getting ready to toss the rock directly at it as if that would destroy the base once and for all. "You know?" Kyousuke asks, getting Vector's attention.
"You know what?" Vector asks inquisitively, as Kyousuke stops tossing the rock in his hand.
"If I could stop them in one shot, it would probably be like this." Kyousuke says while throwing the rock towards the base and pulling out his pistol to blow it apart. However, a laser comes in and disintegrates the rock to powder, startling Kyousuke as he holds his pistol in surprise.
"Nice shot!" Vector says while giving Kyousuke a thumbs-up, only to see Kyousuke shaking his head in wonder.
"That wasn't me." Kyousuke informs Vector, who's scratching his head in confusion as Kyousuke holsters the pistol.
"What do you mean it wasn't you?" Vector says perplexed, as a large ship is seen landing directly in front of them, creating a large amount of dust that Kyousuke and Vector cover their eyes from until the ship finally lands.
"Guess that answers it, huh?" Vector says surprised, as they both start to walk up to the ships door, wondering who's inside. The door flies open, startling Kyousuke and Vector as a humanly figure is seen running out the door.
"KYOUSUKE! YOU'RE ALIVE!" A woman screams happily, jumping out onto Kyousuke and hugging him tightly, as Kyousuke stands there, mindlessly in shock before regaining himself and realizing what's happing.
"Alisa?" Kyousuke says in shock, as he starts to move his hand down her back slowly. "I thought it was the end for you!" Kyousuke says in relief, pulling her closer to him and hugging her tightly as she starts to tear up in response.
"I'm so sorry for doing that to you! I'm such a horrible friend! I…I…I." Alisa continues to say, stuttering in sadness as Kyousuke pulls back and grabs her shoulders in response.
"Don't worry about it now! You being safe and alive is all I need to forgive you." Kyousuke says heartwarmingly, as Alisa grabs and hugs him tightly again.
"Love is something you can never deny." Alisa says calmly, as they stand there hugging each other while Sonic, Tails, Sally and Amy come out to meet up with Vector. Sonic is a bit surprised at seeing Vector alive, thinking before that it would be a lot tougher for him than he expected.
"Hey Vector! How's it going?" Sonic says happily, as Vector scratches his head and smiles.
"Ah, nothing much except that I'm saving the world." Vector says, being cool about everything happening.
"Sorry about that laser guys. The ship was set to an auto-tracking mode and auto-fired by mistake." Tails says apologetically, as Kyousuke and Alisa stop hugging.
"It's nothing." Kyousuke says acceptingly, as Tails smiles in response and Kyousuke switches to the situation at hand.
"Do you know if anyone else is still here?" Kyousuke asks concerned, as Sally informs them all.
"Unfortunately, everyone else is still most-likely in the Egg Grapes." Sally informs, as she then starts to ponder about something. "What I don't understand is why that green elemental is working with Dr. Eggman." Sally asks, putting everyone into question except for Alisa, who knows why due to Theotrin telling it to her right to her face.
"It's because…" Alisa says while struggling to say why as everyone turns their attention to her, ready to hear what she has to say. She clenches her fist in anger and sadness before releasing her grip and going on to explain.
"It's because he came here for the Chaos Emeralds." Alisa says, shocking everyone as Tails questions it.
"But why would he be after the emeralds if he's working with Dr. Eggman?" Tails asks confused, as Alisa continues to explain.
"With Eggman, he can get the Chaos Emeralds while being able to not see Eggman as a threat. Once he gets them, he plans on killing him, sucking all the life force out of everyone and ripping out our mobian DNA to become the ultimate life force in existence." Alisa explains, as Sonic starts to worry.
"Oh no! We gotta get to Eggman, fast!" Sonic says worried, before Sally interrupts.
"Wait, did you say mobian DNA?" Sally asks shocked; as Alisa goes on to explain.
"You see, we elementals have mobian DNA, so we can transform into mobians such as yourselves." Alisa explains, triggering a memory response in Amy.
"So that's why you looked like a falcon when you found us in the beach." Amy says, realizing the truth as Alisa nods in response. Alisa then transforms into her falcon form, shocking everyone except Vector, whom is questioned by Sonic.
"Hey, how come you're not surprised Vector?" Sonic questions Vector, who crosses his arms and closes his eyes.
"Cuz I've seen it before, and to tell you the truth, Kyousuke's is pretty awesome if you ask me." Vector explains, as Sonic then turns to Kyousuke, who Alisa looks at in surprise. "You managed to unlock your mobian transformation already?!" She says both excited and surprised, as Kyousuke shrugs his shoulders in response.
"It's kind of a long story, but to prove it to you, here it is!" Kyousuke says, transforming into his crocodile form while shocking everyone, with the exception of Vector in the process. Vector does open his eyes though and smiles in response. "Let's get going then." Kyousuke says, as they all start getting into the ship without question. Sally somewhat hesitates to get in though, being the second to last with Alisa behind her.
"What's the matter?" Alisa asks concerned, as Sally sadly responds.
"I'm afraid of what's going to happen to you if they do take your mobian DNA." Sally says, as Alisa comforts her by assuring that it's not going to happen.
"You shouldn't think that he can get to me that easily, and if he does, I won't die." Alisa says comfortingly, as Sally feels a bit better. However, she was still worried that if he were to, that she wouldn't be able to transform into a falcon anymore, as thinking of the thought scared her.
Tails starts the ship and starts flying towards the base, heading at full speed until he spots something very peculiar on the ground.
"Is that Knuckles?" Tails asks surprised, lowering the ship down to Knuckles before seeing that Dayton, Mighty and Ray are with him too.
"Hey, It's our old buddy Knuckles!" Vector says happily, as Tails turns on a loudspeaker in the ship to get their attention. "Hey guys! Up here!" Tails shouts to them all through the speaker, catching their attention and lowering the ship to Knuckles height so they all can get to the ship. Sally opens the side door and holds out her hand to Knuckles who's relieved by their appearance.
"Well well, it's about time you showed up." Knuckles says relieved, as he grabs onto Sally's hand and gets into the ship. Mighty and Ray both notice too and they get into the ship easily, while Dayton refuses to get into the ship.
"I can handle this alone!" Dayton says bitterly, as Kyousuke and Alisa get annoyed by this.
"Here comes the fire-cracker." Kyousuke says annoyed, as Alisa rolls her eyes in annoyance and Sally gets upset that Dayton isn't boarding the ship.
"Really? You don't need us?!" Sally says irritated, as Dayton ponders about it real quick before grabbing her hand and getting into the ship. "Good choice." Sally says to herself quietly, as she shuts the door and confirms to Tails that everyone's in.
"Alright, changing course of ship direction to Eggman's base!" Tails informs everyone, as he turns the ship and starts heading for Eggman's base. Dayton is seeing kneeling on the ground as Mighty and Ray, along with Knuckles go talk to Sonic and Vector for a little bit. He then gets up and walks over to Alisa, crossing his arms as Alisa's are also crossed. They glare at each other bitterly before Dayton engages in a bitter argument with her.
"Oh, it's the woman who ran away." Dayton says cruelly, still clearly upset about them running off as Alisa rolls her eyes and responds back bitterly.
"Oh, do I have to put up with someone who's mad at me for saving my own life and running away in a supposedly time of crisis?!" Alisa says bitterly, as Kyousuke intervenes, intending to stop them from arguing.
"As much as I want to smash him into the ground too Alisa, we need everyone that we can get, so arguing over something like this is pointless as of now." Kyousuke explains, as Alisa begins to calm down and Dayton doesn't change his attitude whatsoever. Sally stares at Dayton with shock, as she notices Dayton in his wolf form.
"You have wolf DNA!" Sally informs him, as he could care less and realizes both Kyousuke and Alisa are also in their mobian forms.
"So crocodiles and falcons are supposed to be friends?" Dayton says insultingly, as Kyousuke simply walks off and Alisa responds back insultingly while walking over to Amy.
"As if you're going to do better." Alisa says sarcastically, sitting next to Amy while Kyousuke walks over to Vector, and they stare at each other with both arms crossed.
"Well, we made it this far." Kyousuke notes, as Vector looks up at Kyousuke with a somewhat mixed expression of being worried and happy.
"Yeah, and I'm still not stopping yet." Vector says confidently, as he holds out his fist to Kyousuke. Kyousuke then clasps his fist with Vector's, as they smile at each other in confidence.
"One more step to go!" Kyousuke says encouragingly, as they all wait in the ship for the ever longing battle against Eggman and Theotrin, as they plan to stop them for good and for once set things right.
