A/N - No one wants to know who the figure was? Really? Oh well, you'll learn in this chapter...

When we left off in Devastation, we visited Tails and Cream, who just happened to be in the same section of the city as Amy and Sonic! Wha-? Read onwards...

Tails felt a small poke from a slightly sharp stick as he landed on the lower building's roof. He looked down at the small attacker and smiled, it was only a medic chao. He watched a small cry of alarm escape the small pet's mouth, and a few more responded from the other chain's mouths. A chao near the back entered a tent that Tails had failed to notice in the almost pitch black darkness, and a dark figure slid out.

Tails watched in fear as the figure drew closer, an then everything was bright. The figure, revealed to be Cream, had lit a small torch so that she could identify the intruder. Everything seemed so clear now, that Tails laughed out loud. Cream looked at him like he was crazy and then began to join in, understanding their predicament and then laughing in its face.

Tails slowly came back from hilarity, and then realized what needed to be done. He quickly slipped inside the tent, reading all of the medical labels, and grabbing 2 bottles that could save a person from almost anything.

"Tails?! Where in the world did you come from?" Cream asked him after calming down. The fox looked at her and replied carefully.

"I was just across town, when I saw Sonic and Amy on top of a building. Then, I realized that Sonic was paralyzed, and decided to look for a cure. Then I came here, and while you were calming down, found these." He held up the bottles that he had found.

Cream almost lit up when he mentioned Amy. She quickly darted back inside the tent and pulled out a large bag, starting to slowly pack every bottle that she had into it. She believed that if Amy was alive, then the others were too.

"Can I have those bottles?" The tan rabbit asked the yellow fox. Tails handed her the bottles, and she packed them in perfectly amongst the other bottles.

"So, are we going to travel together?" Tails asked with a light blush appearing on his face, hidden by the red glow of the torch.

"Presumadly, yes." The 15 year old rabbit told the 16 year old fox. "I believe that we can find and save all of them if we try!" She explained excitedly. She put the clasps in their places and picked up the closed bag. "Let's go!"

Espio turned to the sun, which had been rising for the past few minutes, and looked to its sides. The balloon zombies had ceased by the time that it was 5 o'clock, and he had been on the look out while Shadow took a nap after that.

His vision was directed to the west as he noticed a dark silhouette flying through the sky... but this one was different. It appeared to be composed of four beings, one of which was holding a bag, another holding onto a third which was holding onto the bag, and the last was twisting a pair of helicopter rotors while holding the first. The only person to have a pair of helicopter rotors that he knew was... Tails. Had he made it and come here? Had he found other survivors? Espio scrambled to get to Shadow before explaining everything.

Tails, who had been carrying Cream, dropped both of themselves down at where he had remembered Sonic and Amy to be. Cream scrambled to her feet and opened her bag, taking out one of the two bottles that Tails had picked out, as well as a large needle. She opened the lid of the bottle and put the needle in, sucking up 150 mL of the translucent blue liquid. She took the needle out of the bottle, and insert it into Sonic' s arm, who immediately tensed up. Amy woke at her companion' s movement, and for a second, couldn't recognise Cream or Tails.

Cream watched the pink hedgehog flinch when she saw the needle, but then she realized the medic' s intentions and moved out of the way. Sonic slowly stretched, and tried to stand up, but his legs were still numb.

"Sorry, the medicine will clear up anything near the heart quickly, but it doesn't seem to work so well on the legs. You'll need a wheelchair for a bit until then." Tails explained to the saddened hedgehog.

"Wait. We should find Silver and Blaze, they went out to find more survivors, and still aren't back!" Amy exclaimed. She looked at the new survivors, and realized, "Wait. Can you guys lift us and take us to them? They've been gone so long, that they're sure to have found some camp full of survivors!"

Tails nodded, and then grabbed Cream' s hand as he flew into the air. Amy climbed up onto Cream' s shoulders and then grabbed Sonic' s hand as they flew off into the dark, leaving behind the building which had just become available to zombies, which had finally climbed at least one of the walls and reaches the top just as they lifted off.

An hour later, they spotted a bit of smoke, and Tails changed his direction towards it. A figure was standing at the edge of it, looking towards the sunrise. For a second, Tails swore he saw the figure' s amber eyes spy them, and then the silhouette was off, running to another, who happened to be lying down.

A/N - Suspense! Yes, Espio has amber eyes, and yes, that was Espio who Tails spotted. There was a bit of light reflecting from the sun, and I explained earlier about Tails' extreme eyesight. OMG, I just realized that this chapter is over a thousand words... Wooh! Remember to review and subscribe!
