Blu lead Sonic and Flame through the forest . Flame had went with her to steal some clothes for him and his sister. He had got a black vest and some nice, black shoes to go along with it. Blu had picked out a bright purple skirt and a strapless purple shirt for Ashes. She also found black running shoes. Flame insisted that they didn't need gloves. After that they set off for the base. It took them hours. before long they saw a Huge base.

Blu: Okay, Flame, do you have any idea where she is?

Flame: ummm... let me ask her.

He closed his eyes and then opened them.

Flame: She says that she's in a cell on the bottom floor.

Sonic: How could you talk to her?

Flame: We can telepathically speak to each other. It's really cool! I can always talk to her and..

Blu: Shhhhh! You'll give us away!

Flame: Oops! Sorry!

Sonic: Hey flame, can you melt that air vent?

He pointed to a air vent that was high off the ground. Surely the demons had security cameras. The only problem was that none of them could reach it.

Blu: I got this..

She stuck her darts into the wall and began climbing up. Flame eagerly climbed up behind her. Sonic followed a little more cautiously. When they reached the vent, Flame touched it and concentrated. The vent began to warm up and soon melted. Sonic gave him a thumbs up and they began crawling through the vent. After searching for a while, they found a dark figure in a cell. They could just make out the outline of a hedgehog.

Flame: Ashes!

The figure looked up. now that a bit of light lit it's face, it was easier to see. It was a black female hedgehog with bright yellow eyes like her brother. She wore a grey, and now ripped up, dress with a small grey bow to go along with it. You could see blood all over her face and deep cuts. She opened her mouth and talked in a quiet, soft voice.

Ashes: F-Flame!?

Flame: Hey sis! How's it going? We're here to-

Sonic & Blu: Shhhhh!

Ashes: Who's there!?

Flame: That's Sonic and Blu! Don't worry they're with us!

Blu: Don't worry, we'll get you out of there!

Sonic kicked out the vent. He jumped down and grabbed Ashes. Blu and Flame also jumped down. There was noway they were going to fit four hedgehogs in a vent without one of their eyes getting poked out. Blu picked up Flame who protests but she silenced him. She then grabbed onto Sonic's hand.

Sonic: Are ya ready?

Ashes: For wha-

She didn't finish her sentence and grabbed onto Sonic as if her life depended on it. And right now, it probably did. Sonic had took off and was now running at 500 mph. She heard the demons cries from behind her. She didn't dare open her eyes though. They passed a room filled with dynamite. She noticed Sonic form a flame in his hand and lite it. She inwardly chuckled. This was going to be fun. As soon as they got at least 100 feet away from the base. Sonic stopped.

Blu: Sonic? We still have a ways to go.

Sonic: Relax Blu, watch the show..

Blu: You didn't..*smiles* Did you!?

Sonic:*smirks*

He snapped his fingers and the base exploded. Ashes watched with pure joy. She wasn't the one to enjoy stuff like this, but considering what they did to her, she loved this. She watched as debris went flying, as well as some demons. She couldn't help but smile. She was stuck in that cell for at least two weeks. And she had enough pain to last the rest of her life. She went over and hugged her twin, ignoring his protests. They were together again, and now they had people to take care of them.

Sonic: Let's go home.*looks at Ashes* All of us.

Ashes couldn't help but smile even more. They were going to eat tonight. They were going to have shelter. They weren't on the streets, not anymore. For once, she felt like she had a family. She looked at her brother. He was play fighting Sonic, they looked so much like brothers. She looked at Blu. Maybe she could be like her big sister? She wasn't sure. All she knew is that she was safe. For now..
