Prologue
(A mysterious figure sits in a spinning chair his face obscured by the darkness in the room and his phone rings)

???:(Picks up the phone) Hello?

???2:Commence operation Down Under?

???:Yes, I want them out and I want them out now!

???2:Roger that, Commander.

???:Oooh Commander, I like the sound of that.

???2:Over and out.

???:WAIT!

???2:What is it?

???:Can you buy me some Mc'Donalds?

???2:Sure. Over and out. (Hangs up and ??? smiles)

Chapter One
???:Candi, are you sure you'll find fit saviors.

Candi:Trust me Clide, I can do this.

Clide:You don't have to do this! What if GUN finds out and kills us all?

Candi:I must..it's better than living to see the destruction of our home. (Runs off heading towards the surface)

Clide:Candi WAIT!

(Meanwhile, ground level)

(Broski is talking to Rock Stonewall)

Broski:And I told this dude that there's no way I would use my cherry bombs for this project he's doing.

Rock:Any idea what it was for?

Broski:He said it was classified.So I sent him away.

Rock:Good thing you didn't give him any.

(Meanwhile, under ground)

Candi:This is going to be a looong day.

(Hours later Candi finally makes it to he surface but screams in pain as soon as she sees the light)

Candi:MY GOODNESS IT IS TRUE! THE SURFACE IS DEMONIC!

Rock:Sounds like someone need helps.Let's go.

(Broski and Rock both rush to the spot where the found Candi in pain)

Broski:Lets get her out of the sunlight.

(They both carried her to a nearby shaded spot)

Rock:Its okay now.Your out of the sun.

Candi:Wow thanks. (Sees a single streak of sunlight) AAAAAAH! IT BUUUURNS!

Rock:Here.(Pulls out a pair of sunglasses)Wear these,they'll keep the light out of your eyes.(Puts them on her carefully)

Candi:T-thank you kind sir.

Rock:Your welcome.^^

Broski:Where did you come from miss?

Candi: Well I came here from....(points to the ground)

Rock:Oh,since your a mole,that's your home.What are you doing up here?

Candi: It's horrible. This group of demon warriors named GUN are trying to evacuate us so they can destroy our home and create one of their hell bases. It's horrible, simply horrible. The worst thing about it is that almost all of our race has given up hope. I'm trying to gather up angels so we can stop them!

Broski:Well,we can help you.

Candi:Reakky!? Wow, I found my first angel already!

Rock:I'll help too.

Candi: Second angel! (Opens a book) You must be the entrance angels that help the ones from below become accustomed to the light.

Broski:Well,that's a nice way to put it.^^

Rock:But we're glad to help you.^^

Candi: But you guys are sadly not enough. I'm going to need the srength angel, Tina. To help me as well. (Leaves out the door with shades on) C'mon!

Together:Comming!(Follows her)

Candi: Hurry it up before she leaves! I doubt she'll stay in one place for very long. We can also find other people to help us along the way!

Rock:True.Everyone moves alot.

Broski:And I'm sure we'll run into other people.

Candi: Okay, does anyone know where Green Flower City is?

Rock:Its a few miles over.It shouldn't too far.

Candi began to sprint. "Good, we'll see Tina in no time. I've read text that staes that she lives there!"

Rock and Broski:(Runs after her)

(Later)

It was just a regular day in Green Flower City. Nothing special was going on, today. People went about their everyday lives, going through their daily routine. A blue echidna was spending the day at home, mowing the front lawn. He wore a green t-shirt with a yin-yang symbol, faded sky-blue jeans, and a pair of sunglasses. For him, it wasn't entirely a regular day; A friend was coming over to visit. He wanted to finish the yard work before he arrived. Soon, he finished mowing, and took a good look at the yard. "Whelp. That should do it." He muttered to himself, somewhat proudly. Maybe I should take a break... He glanced at his watch, I should have some time to take a walk and get back before they arrive. He thought to himself. He put the lawn mower back in the garage, and took off down the street.

Everything was normal.....until a mole wearing shades ran through the town screaming like a maniac with Rock and Broski not to far behind her. "TINAAAA! TINA WHERE ARE YOU! THE PEOPLE OF THE UNDERGROUND NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE!"

Rock:What up Candi.

"TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

A woman walked to Candi. "What do you need?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm Tina."

"Oh...wrong Tina."

Broski:Sorry ma'am.We're looking for someone.

Candi's eyes widened as soon as she saw Smash The Echidna casually walking down the street. She ran to him and tightly hugged him. "TINAAAAA!"

Smash, startled and almost frightened, cried out as he was tackled to the ground from behind. "What the crap!? Get offa me, woman!" He yelled in protest, standing back up with her on his back. "What the heck are you trying to do!? This ain't football!"

"I'm never letting go Tina now that I found you! Why are you not fighting Tina?"

"Because I ain't Tina!" He yelled. "Tina's a girl's name; Do I  look  like a woman to you!?"

Candi giggled. "Of course you do Tina. I know all about you. Your the angel of strength and you spend your time in a anceint arena called the Bitz Pit and you live in the sacred city of Green Flower."

Rock:Sorry,sir.But somehow she thinks your the angel of strength.

Smash froze, looking somewhat shocked. "Wait...what." He grabbed Candi's arms, and forced her to let go before turning around to face them. "How did you know that I'm a fighter at the Blitz Pit?"

Candi giggled. "Wow Tina, they never told me you'd be so funny. To answer your question you're in alot of our ancient texts that chronicle your strength and wisdom. It also states that your Father was a warrior and your sister IS a warrior as well. It also states your friends with the wisom angel, Glacius and the nature angel, Spockius-"

"Hold it!" Smash interrupted. "Okay, First of all, I am not an angel woman. I'm an echidna, and a dude. My name is Smash, not Tina. Secondly, lemme get this straight. Information about "me and my friends and family" are written in ancient texts? Either you got the wrong person or your textbooks are faulty. So far you were right about me being a fighter at the Blitz, but my father wasn't a "warrior". He was a fighter, too. My sister isn't a warrior either, I just trained her. And wisdom and nature angels? I lost you there. There are no angels here on the ground; if there are then something's up, probably. Angels are generally assumed to be waaay higher up." He paused to point up at the sky. "Down here on the ground, we're just regular mobians...Third of all, Who ARE you? Why am I explaining all this to you; shouldn't you know some of this stuff already?"

Broski:She came here to ask for help cause of GUN.

Candi stared at Smash for a second then laughed. "Oh Tina your such a funny angel! I'm the normal one and all you guys are angels! You are a warrior at the Blitz Pit. It's strange you don't remember your two friends. The Wisdom angel is the cat-like being with a floating smaller kitty and the nature angel is the one with a magical blade of elements. My name is Candi and I need your help."

Smash buried his face in his palms. "oh lord..." He groaned, seemingly having a painful headache. He looked back at Candi, "Okay fine. Let's pretend that I'm an "angel" for now. You guys mentioned G.U.N. What's going on?"

Rock:Candi says they are making a base in their home and driving them out of it.

Smash's eyebrows shot up. "Seriously? Have they really sunk that low?" He asked, surprised.

Broski:Seems so.

Candi looked at her shoes sadly. "Yes, the demon warriors of GUN. They say their from above but I don't believe them. They say their doing it for a good cause but" starts to cry.

"They'll tear down our only homes. They say they'll put us in camps but their horrible. Though their stronger than us so everyone has given up hope. They stopped believing that the angels above our underground home could help us...but I believe....your living proof Tina. That the angels are real..."

Rock:(Puts his hand on her shoulder)We'll be your angels Candi.

Candi said, "Well you and Broski ARE the doormen angels so you sort of stick with me."

Broski:That's right.

Smash looked rather disturbed. He looked down at the ground, pressing his fingers against his forehead. "This is bad..." Really bad. He continued in his thoughts. ''Just what the heck are they trying to do!? I don't want to have to go against the army. I mean, I don't like them and all, but..you don't just mess with the military like that. Even if what they're doing IS wrong..I mean, in the end, the law usually comes out on top. If I go against them, I might end up "Wanted" and endanger my whole family. But I can't just leave them there.''..For the time he was thinking, he remained silent. He looked very troubled, though.

"You look like your constipated Tina. How about we visit the brilliant Wisdom angel. He shouldn't be too far from here."

Rock:Sounds like a good idea.

A vein mark showed on his forehead, just before his hand slapped it. "Noo...He's already on his way." ''And how long are you going to keep up this 'Angel' act? It's seriously getting on my nerves.''

Broski:We don't mind.

Candi laughed but not as cheeful as before. "Your so silly and constipated Tina...you angels are the only ones that can help us."

"I don't think you're using that word properly." Smash noted, looking up at her. "And could you at least call me by my actual name? For the last time, I'm not Tina. I'm Smash."

Rock:Okay Smash.

"I wasn't referring to you." He said. "But now that you've reminded me, you other people never told me who exactly you were."

"Oh Tina. It's not that simple. First it has to go to congress then it has to be made into a bill and..it's just not that simple Tina." She said as she walked down the road. "Follow me!"

"Congress?" Smash slapped his forehead again. "Where are you going?"

"TO THE WISDOM ANGEL FOR HELP WITH YOUR CONSTIPATION!"

When Tina finished answering, a faint noise could be heard, similar to snoring, but audible, coming from a small side street.

Broski:Who was that?

"I Am Not CONSTIPATED!" Smash yelled back. "AND I JUST TOLD YOU THAT HE'S ON HIS WAY HERE ALREADY!"

"Wow. My first day on the service and I already get to see Tina take a constipated pill!"

The snore stalled a bit from Smash's shouting, then stopped completely.

Rock:Wow.

"Please don't tell me they're all like that where she's from. I'm already at my limit." He sighed, and looked back at the others. "I'm going home. I'm expecting guests, and I should probably warn them about this girl and her angel fantasies."

Candi looked at Smash longingly. "One day..I want to be strong like her."

Then a red hedgehog, with bright red stripes,along with dark blue pants and matching scarf, walked out from behind the corner, with sleep deprived eyes, muttering something about, getting barely any sleep, then noticing the small group, thinking, why can't I get any peaceful sleep when people are about?

Broski:Who's that?

Then the hedgehog rubs the sleep out of his eyes, and now has a slightly clearer view of the group.

Meanwhile underground.

"ALERT! ALERT! MISSING MOLE! MISSING MOLE! FIND THE FEMALE THEY CALL:CANDI. ASAP!" Said the mysterious commander in a P.A. system. Alerting all the Moles, and Nerbs.

Candi looked at the mysterious hedgehog. "I think that might be Xavier the traveller angel."

Rock: Let's go see.

"Wah, Xavier? Are you talking about me? Well, you got the first two right atleast, but what is your definition of "traveller"? asked the hedgehog, slightly confused by the statement.

"I define traveller as someone who doesn't have a home and someone who travels between the forces of light and darkness."

Broski:Interesting.

"So a neutral, and yes on both accounts, though the name is. . . Xantho, not Xavier, close, but not enough."

"HEE HEE! Are all you angels ashamed of your name's Xavier?" Candi said with a laugh.

"Wow, was that a insult? Seriously, I have never heard of anyone named Xavier, except out of some comics I read, the name is Xantho, X-A-N-T-H-O. Got it?"

"No it's not an insult Xavier! Look!" She opened her book and showed him a page of text with the heading being Xavier and a picture of Xantho.

"Unless the author has really bad spelling, yes, that's me, alright, I believe, but can you please call me Xantho?"

"It's not that simply Xavier. It would take my whole congress for you to legally change you name. Xavier. But I ask you a favor."

Rock:What about the rest of us?

"It's the same favor as you guys."

"Let me take a guess, we have to stop a massive antagonistic organization from achieveing their goals, which somehow involves you or your people? I guess. . ? I'm just taking pot-shots."

"AHA! IT IS YOU XAVIER! YOU ARE ALSO THE ANGEL OF FORESIGHT! But you have it a little wrong.... we're not fighting an organization; we're fighting demons."

Xantho scratches his head, "I was the Angel of Traveller, now I'm the Angel of Foresight? Wow, this is one wacky day. . . And may I ask what group of demons you are fighting?", now that the whole situation has his complete attension, mainly caused by the unusual character.

Broski:GUN is trying to take their home.

"Oh great, the military, just what was needed, this is going to be tougher than I thought, if it were just some acult, then it would be much easier. . . But now, yeah, we are going to need more help than just us", indicating at the whole group.

"Like I said, we're fighting demons."

Meanwhile, Smash stood up from the front steps of his house, upon seeing few familiar faces walk into the driveway. A red cat wearing goggles on his forehead, accompanied by a chao with cat ears and tail, and a cyan hedgehog with a sword strapped to his back. "Ah, you're here." Smash said. "Good to see you again, Kyle."

Kyle the Hedgehog closed his eyes and bowed. "How are you, my friend?"

"Could be better. Listen, we've got a situation..."

Rock:Those must be Smash's friends.

After hearing Kyle with her super-sonic hearing Candi let out a high-pitched fan girl shriek. "IS THAT THE NATURE ANGEL, SPOCKIUS I HEAR!?"

"Uh oh, fan-girl alert!", then Xantho covers his ears, in hope to somehow to muffle the shriek.

The group cringed collectively at the squeal. "Does..that have anything to do with it?" Gizmo asked.

"Mostly." Smash said, lowering both eyelids. "Prepare to be utterly weirded out."

Broski:She's harmless.

"Physically, maybe. Mentally? That's another story."

"Are we talking about that creepy goat lady?" Gizmo asked, worriedly.

Candi ran to them. "OH MY GOD IT'S GLACIUS ! I'VE NEVER IMAGINED THAT HIS PET CHAO KITTY WOULD LOOK SOOOO CUUUTE! AND IT'S SPOCKIUS!"

Both Kyle and Gizmo stepped back, startled.

She smiled showing her teeth. "Can you PLEEAAAASE SAY YOUR MAGICAL CHANT WHEN YOU USE THE HOLY GEMBLADE!? Just once?"

They looked at eachother at the corner of their eyes, unsure of what to say. "Uhh...Mew?" Kitty scratched his head, breaking the silence.

Rock:Easy everyone.

Smash walked over, "Let me explain the situation, in the best way possible. This girl, Candi, was it? She thinks that we're all "Angels". And that we're her "Saviors". But that's not even the half of it, she and her people know about all of us and our jobs and all, but our names have been changed to some weird mythical crap. Apparently you're Spockius, and you're Glacius."

Gizmo scratched his head, trying to understand. "But...Why?" Kyle asked. "Why change the names given to us at birth? I do not understand."

"This is why mythical prophesy is best left un-reasoned with, it's practically all that they know", said Xantho, reffering to Candi's people, leaning on the wall, just outside the door.

Smash narrowed his eyes at him, not sure how he felt about a random guy leaning on his wall without him knowing of his presence at first, but he had to agree. "I'm wondering how they knew in the first place." He looked back at Candi, "Seriously, if you guys knew that much, you should at least know our real names.."

"Yes...well all we did know. As I said before most of my people have stopped believing so they're just giving up...not even questioning the demon's power. But I know with Tina's strength, Glacius' brains, Spockius' Magic, and Xaviers powers I'm sure we can find the other angels and stop the demons. "

"I know this is trivial and all, but seriously? Could you just call us by our real names?" Smash asked, sounding exasperated. "Those are not our real names. Our names are not what some congress decided, You guys weren't there when we were born and named."

"He has a point, I'd prefer to have my actual name on the record, thank you very much, not some name that no one ever has anymore, or to make myself more correct, barely anyone.", seemingly tired of the alternative names given by Candi.

Candi looked at the ground for awhile began to cry then with fresh tears in her eyes quickly looked up. "Fine then Smash, IF that's your real name but if I'm going to call you by your, 'real names' your going to listen to me and help beat the demons under my conditions! GOT IT BLUEY!?"

Xantho looked genuinely concerned at Candi, "Uh. . . Guys, are we gonna help?"

Smash put his hand on her shoulder, tightly. "I think you're the one who needs to listen, Candy Cane. First off, I don't think you're in any position for demands. I didn't even agree to help you yet. Second of all, If you want my help, You're gonna have to lose that attitude you're getting with me. I work under my own conditions, and I'm not going to let a crappy piece of paper tell me who I am. And thirdly, Nobody here agrees with the names they've been given, so don't be giving only me a hard time here." He let go, and glanced at the others. "Let me explain the rest of the situation. G.U.N, this continent's army, is invading her home and driving her people out. It's pretty bad, and it could be dangerous. GUN could come after us and our families if we're not careful. They may be our army, but they've gone too far. Still, I won't force you into this; Think carefully before you decide."

Gizmo and Kyle looked rather shocked. "G.U.N? They're..are they really doing this..!?" Gizmo asked.

"This is unforgivable." Kyle stated. "I will get to the bottom of this."

"While I usually don't get along well with the army, or help that many people, I'm not just gonna stand around while people are being driven from their homes, I'm up for causing a little bit of trouble.", said so with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

Candi's attitude didn't change. "Your not going to help me....you can't. Your not angels. You can't stop the demons. Your not from the underground like us...I don't even know who you are but your not ANGELS so just leave me alone. I don't know where Xavier, Trina or the others are but I won't find them here!" Candi said as she stormed out the driveway.

(They were outside)

"If that's how you're going to be, then fine." Smash said. "We'll prove to you that you don't NEED angels to stop them!" He turned back to the others. "C'mon, people. It's time we made a name for ourselves down under."

Xantho just stood there, shocked, "Wow, fan-girl to hater in less than 2 minutes. . . New record anyone?"

"You're telling me!" Gizmo shook his head. "Smash, why do you always seem to attract crazy people?"

Smash's eyelids lowered halfway. "...Shut up. Let's go."

"May I ask as to where? Before I leave." asked Xantho.

Not even a full minute after she stormed off she found trouble. "STOP LET ME GO!" Candi screamed.

"Relax just let lil' ol' Krinkinko take you home and.."

"Krinkinko! We're here to drag her back underground not flirt with her!"

"After we drag her down THEN can I flirt with her!?"

"Whatever floats ya' boat Krink!"

"I'm hungry guys. Can we take her to Mc' Donalds?"

"NO DROGET!" The two other voices said.

((This edit conflict completely destroyed my long post about Smash's deduction on where their base site was...~Smash The Echidna~ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100421224452/sonicfanon/images/0/04/Smash_life.png 08:51, April 7, 2012 (UTC)))

Smash's eyebrows shot up. "Krink..!?" He gasped. "Oh no..Krink works for G.U.N...." He hesitated a bit before running over to the scene.

The team nearly jumped back once they saw Smash but Krinkinko regained his cool. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Smash the Echidna. As you can see we're taking care of this lost sheep right now." He put his arm around Candi. "She'll be just f-" Candi bit Krinkinko's hand and ran over to Smash.

Fa-La-Stu was struggling not to laugh. "You hang out with little girls or somethin' Smash?"

"Why yes. I know and look after some. Wanna make something of it?" He rose an eyebrow, while speaking casually. "Sorry, you three. But the girl's with me. I'm afraid I can't let you take her back right now."

Kyle and Gizmo ran up beside him. "Smash, what's wrong?" Gizmo asked, before seeing the three. "Krinkinko?" Kyle asked. "What brings you here?"

Krinkinko frowned. "We're here under an important mission to take this little missy back whereshe belongs! According to our files she's mentally unstable and we need her back pronto! There's no telling what she'll do next. Besides, why would she want to be in a place like this?" Krinkinko held his nose.

"It smells of Echidna."

Fa-La-Stu walked away annoyed, "Too far. Krink...too far..."

Smash shook his head. "I see you've still got issues with me." He flashed him a serious look. "This girl may be somewhat crazy, but she's relatively harmless." He stepped in front of her. "We need to have a talk, Krink. There's something you should really know about GUN."

Krinkinko folded his arms. "And that would be..."

"What they're doing down there is wrong. GUN is invading their homes, digging up everything and destroying their environment. They're driving them out of their homes, Krink, and for what? Tell me, Why? And you'd better have a pretty dang good reason, too."

In mere seconds the tip of Krinkinko's scythe was inches away from Smash's neck. "Wow Smash....how could you be such a scumbag!? Your a filty liar spitting lies about GUN! Our project down there is classified! None of you or your little gangs business! What goes down there is our business but I can tell you this, WE are not destroying their homes! So go tell your info source that next time he decides to open his lieing mouth...he DIES!"

Candi began to scream "YOUR A FILTY LIAR DEMON!"

"Oh ho-ho! Little Ms. Crazy told you. I told you she's crazy Smash...hot...but sadly crazy. This is just priceless!"

He started walking away with Droget. "Wait till' the commander here's this! Smash is taking orders..from the lunatic!"

Smash began walking with them, completely unphased by Krink's words. He walked past them, and stopped right in front of him. "Turning a blade on your own friend, laughing things off without a second thought......Just what the heck are you doing, Krinkinko?" He demanded, coldly. "You know me better than that. I never told you anything without any sort of truth behind it. Yet you're not in the least bit concerned about this classified information? You're acting like nothing more than a dang puppet on the commander's string, completely oblivious to the commands you're given. Do you even realize what you're doing? Do you even know what this classified information is? Is it worth threatening your own friends over, instead of simply trying to negotiate? Or have you let GUN's habits of "Shoot Now, ask questions later" get through that thick, spotted head of yours?"

Rock:You okay Candi?

Krinkinko stopped once more and turned around once more. "The information may be classified......but I trist the commander...because he's been my friend for years. And who said that I didn't know the reason we're down there? I only said that that's classified information to you. I know good and well the plan."

Droget scratched his head. "Yeah Smash it's not like that we wouldn't be doing this if we weren't sure of the commanders intentions because like he said the commander has been our friend for years."

Broski:Then can't you tell them that they are taking someones homes?

Candi ran towards Krinkinko

Krinkinko growled. "Because they'reNOT! That's not what the commander told us. He told us somethign completely different and you expect us to believe all this new destruction crap?" Krinkinko angrily shook his head. "Sorry Smash, Splice, Gizmo, and craz mole girl. But I've know the commander longer and-" with a leg sweep Candi was on the ground.

"DO NOT EVER...EVER RUSH TOWARDS ME!"

Candi started crying. "SHUT UP DEMON! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"

Krinkinko sighed and rolled his eyes.

Rock:(Offers Candi a hankie,and gentlty wiped her eyes without moving the shades)

Smash stepped in front of Krinkinko. "Whether you won't tell us or not, I'm only going to warn you once." His expression suddenly changed to a much darker and angrier look. "Don't ever let me catch you attacking one of mine again, Krinkinko The Hedgehog." He then walked away, "If he won't tell us, then we'll find out for ourselves. Come on, guys."

"Let's go Droget!" the two walked away from the group.

(Meanwhile,)

Fa-La-Stu was busy talking on the phone. "What do you mean you can give anymore info on the mission?!"

"What I'm saying is that this information is classified and this connection can easily be intercepted."

"THEN STOP USING YOUR HOUSE PHONE!"

"Hey, you don't have the authority to give me orders! I'm commander now Fa-La my dear and I can END you!"

"Who are you talking to you nerdy b-"

Krinkinko and Droget walked to Fa-La-Stu glumly. "Hey, Fa-La-Stu. May I speak to the commander please..."

Fa-La-Stu angrily handed him her cell-phone. "Commander...Smash said something about GUN tearing down the mole's home and I had to take the course of action you suggested."

"Excellent agent Krinkinko. May, I speak to the lunatic and see how she's doing?"

"Well, the funny thing is that I let Smash go away with her."

"WHHAAAT! Retrieve her NOW Krinkinko. Do I make myself clear she's insane and a threat! Besides, the moles are in an uproar over her disappearrance.I don't want you to try and talk this out. KILL SMASH IF IT BOILS DOWN TO IT! Just bring her back!"

"But Commander. Smash is my friend and-"

"WAS! WAS YOUR FRIEND! Now he's nothing but a liar who's trying to screw up our wonderful plans! Remember Krinkinko! I'M YOUR FRIEND! I've known you longer than him...he doesn't care about you.."

Fa-La-Stu spoke up. "How do you know that!?"

"I heard your conversation through your watches. He thinks that just because your part of GUN your a monster. He doesn't give a f*** about you Krinkinko!"

"Sir, I didn't interpret it as."

"NO! From now on everyone with that girl is your enemy! I want them found and brought to justice!" The commander hung up.

All was silent until Krinkinko rose his scythe into the air. "For justice..."

Fa-La-Stu raised her fist and Droget raised his trident. "FOR JUSTICE!"

Chapter Two
The commander sat in his swirling chair and rubbed his forehead. "That macho-maniac..he'll be the death of me...why doesn't Krinkinko just finish him off....and he knows my plans...this is bad. Real bad.....whelp. It's time to shake things up a little."

He laughs evilly as he presses a button and the whole base is drowned out with an alarm.

(With the others)

"So, where exactly is their dig site?" Gizmo asked.

"It's over here, I know it." Smash answered, leading the group out the west entrance. "Both Krink's group and Candi came through here, so it must be somewhere in between the city and Fox Forest." He glanced at Candi at the corner of his eye. "Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong."

"Fox Forest...I wonder how Amber is doing?" Gizmo stared off at the forest in the distance. "It is possible that the digging has affected the inhabitants of the forest as well." Kyle suggested.

Candi folded her arms. "What should I know? I was wrong about you guys being angels. Si I'm not one to give directions. I'm just an insane girl.."

Rock:No your not Candi.

"Yes I am becausse apparantly you're not angels nor are you the people my book said you were so I'm simply insane!"

"A bit crazy, yes. But that's nothing new considering all the people I've known." Smash shrugged.

"You cannot blame yourself for something you've simply been taught." Kyle noted.

"'Sides, you don't HAVE to be an angel to win something like this. You wouldn't believe the things I've had to face in battle." Smash continued. "We'll get to the bottom of this mess, and help your people. That's all that really matters right now, so just try to focus on that instead of what Krinkinko said, alright?"

Broski:I agree.

Near by, a blue wolf was reading a book.

Candi walked off. "Fine then follow me." After walking to the place where she emmerged she stopped. "It's gone...they covered the route!" She began to burrow but stopped. "What the!? They soldified the ground! It's impossible to dig through the ground!" She sat down. "This isn't possible."

"Holy crap, What?" Smash exclaimed. Gizmo knelt down next to her, and knocked on the ground. They all heard a mettalic clank.

"She's right. They completely sealed it up." He confirmed, standing back up. "Which means that whatever they're doing down there, whether they're messing with their homes or not, they don't belong down there. And they don't want anyone else to know."

Smash nodded, and folded his arms. "Okay, but how do we get in now?"

"Perhaps there is another entrance somewhere..?" Kyle suggested.

"Wait.. what?" the Wolf asked. "What's going on?"

"Long story short, we need to get underground. There was an entrance here, but it's been sealed." Smash explained quickly.

Broski:(Placed a cherry bomb and it dentonated)Done.

"I see." The Wolf replied. "I'm Yuki.."

But when the smoke cleared the ground was unphased.

Candi sighed. "Told you."

"I don't think that was a good idea." Smash said. "They probably know we're trying to break in now."

"Ya guys need help?" Yuki asked.

"I suppose we do." Kyle said. "Do you know of any other ways to get under ground?"

"Let me think of something, i guess." He replied.

Rock:WE could just dig another way around them?

"I guess?" Yuki said as he rubbed his chin.

"It might not be that simple." Gizmo stated. "If it were that easy, they wouldn't even bother sealing it up in the first place. Remember, this is the military; the ones who keep everything Top Secret. This steel plate could stretch out a long way."

Candi stood up. "SOMEONE'S COMING!"

"Hmm? Who?" Yuki asked.

"I don't know but you'd better stay behind us." Smash warned Candi, as he turned to look at the approaching figure.

Broski:Stay close Candi.

Candi ducked behind a tree as hundreds of bullets came raining down from four choppers but they large, fifth one in the middle was armed with bombs that hadn't been dropped.

Kyle quickly drew his sword and held it out sideways in front of him. "Guardian," He shouted. A rainbow colored barrier formed around him, "..Field!" which expanded to shield everyone.

A certain head popped out of the window of the main chopper and with a mega-phone she screamed, "HELLO! SMASHY WASHY! I'LL GIVE YOU ONE WARNING TO DUMP YOUR LITTLE MOLE GIRLFRIEND AND SURRENDER HIM TO US! AND THEN WE CAN BE TOGETHER FOREVER!"

Smash looked up at the chopper in both shock and disgust. "What the cra-RACHEL!?" His face drooped. "Oh lord she's trying to marry me again. Juuuust my luck."

Rock:Plus,she thinks your with Candi.

"No, she's just doing that to bug me. She already knows that I'm married to someone else."

Broski:Yikes.And I thought Amy Rose was worse.

"Never mind that! We should leave, now!" Kyle exclaimed. "Smash, take miss Candi and the others and head into the forest. I will cover you!"

"Right. Follow me!" Smash began to lead the way as as Kyle let down the barrier.

Rock and Broski:(Helped Candi from her hiding spot and brought her with them)

Rachel growled. "Your not getting away from me Smashy Washy, Kyle Wyle, and Gizmo Wizmo! FIRE!" Then several fire bombs fell from the middle helipcopter burning the entire forest.

Seeing the bombs falling, Kyle stopped and held his sword up. "Gem of wind, lend me thy power.." The white gem on the hilt began to glow in response. "Gentle winds, be our armor to protect us! Aeroga!" He leaped into the air towards the bombs, as a spherical whirlwind surrounded him. The bombs were blown away from the forest, some even back towards the choppers.

Broski:Great job Kyle.(Gives him a thumbs up)

"DARN! I forgot about Kyle Wyle's powers! EEK! Even makes him more attractive! Anyway choppers! Battle formation!" In the air the choppers combined into a giant robot transformer style. It was a ginat orange robot with a heart breast-plate with horns. "Rachel bot...ROLL OUT!" She shot out fire from the robot's fist attempting to burn the forest again but she also stomped in Kyle's area. If succeful would crush him like a bug, if he evaded it would still create a shockwave.

Kyle leaped back, but was forced to go into a kneeling position due to the shockwave. "Stop! There are innocent people in that forest!!" He cried out. "O Gem of water, lend me thy power!" The whirlwind disappeared, and the blue gem glowed. "O Violent torrent, grant them thy undefiled purity. Overflow!" Raising his sword up, a large spring of water gushed out from the ground like a geyser, which sprinkled down on the flames upon the forest. He lowered his sword, and brought it back up again to cause another one to shoot out in front of the robot's fist, causing it to push it's arm up into the air and away from it's target.

"Oh Kyle. I thought you would find out by now. I'm a SHOCKING PERSON!" With the robot's other fist she shoots a lightning bolt towards the water. Electrifying and destroying anything that the water touched.

Kyle groaned. The electricity could have harmed anyone who came in contact, but failed to harm the environment. He held up his sword, "Gem of Water and Lightning, I offer you this power." Suddenly, the two geysers stopped flowing and were sucked into the tip of the blade, which brought the electricity with it. The two gems glowed as they absorbed the elements. "Rachel, This will be the last time I warn you. Stop this at once; There are children in the forest! I will not allow you to burn down the entire forest for the sake of capturing a single girl! If you do not cease your assault, I will have no choice but to fight you."

(A giant rock is threwn at the fist, leaving it banged up)

Rock:There's a reason I'm called Rock.(Shoots another rock at the bot's foot)And that's why.

"Rachel. Well I would've considered leaving this place alone. If it wasn't for that stupid human throwing rocks like some type of idiot! But I'll just cut to the chase Kyle Wyle. Rachel Bot...TRANSFORM!"

The robot fell down then it's legs and arms curled up and the cock-pit opened into a wide hole with a faint light in the center.

Rachel scrambled out and pressed a button aiming the canon towards the air as it launched a giant energy bomb into the sky. "Gotta' run. It would be romantic to watch the fireworks Kyle but I rather not risk being blown up." Rachel then ran away from the group.

Looking at the size of the bomb, Kyle was unsure if he would really be able to stop it. "And so you would even obliterate the entire area for such trivial reasons..Gem of Wind, Lend me all of thy power!" The white gem glowed again, causing a brief gust of wind to breeze past them. Kyle looked up at the bomb that was beginning to make it's descent. "Benevolent wind that encircles eternal time, gather before me and become a dividing blade... Cyclone!" He swung his sword down, and a large whirlwind began to surround him. It grew higher and higher, until it became a large tornado. It sucked in the bomb, holding it near the top of the cyclone. "If it explodes now, this should be able to keep the debris and flames from harming anyone. Rock, was it? I'll leave that to you!"

Yuki was slient for a moment, then sighed.

Rock:You got it Kyle.(Did as Kyle explan to him)

The bomb exploded but it didn't behave like a normal bomb which would hint extra programming. When the bomb exploded there was a loud sucking sound before the cyclone became red and started burning everyone in it's path turning the normal cyclone into a fire tornado.

"Cease." Kyle commanded. The tornado, still being under his control, faded quickly and let the flames fall. He held up his sword, which began to absorb the flames again.

Rock:That was close.

(Back with the commander)

"GRRRRAAH! How could those pests forced the choppers to turn into Rachel bots, then the cano, then somehow detonate the bomb unscathed! I'm going to need more agents pronto!" the commander yelled while eating "I cannot believe it's not butter" on toast before spitting it out. "BLEH! WHO DECIDED TO FEED ME THIS FOUL S***!?"

(Back with the others)

Smash stopped deep in the forest with the others. "I think we've lost them." He said, looking behind them. "This is gonna be worse than I thought. We haven't even gone inside and they're already onto us."

"Do you think everyone else will be in danger because of us...?" Gizmo asked, worriedly. Kitty mewed pitifully at the thought.

Broski:I don't think so.

Candi looked at Smash. "Not nearly as in as much danger as several thousand underground people that have lost hope with their clock is ticking as we speak."

"Yes yes, I know. WE just barely got out of there with our lives." He said, hastily. "Gimmie a moment to think." He began pacing back and forth, trying to figure out where to go from there.

A young and muscular rabbit floating next to them with a parachute. "Could I help you with anything?"

"Y-your Dravius!" Candi yelled.

A sweatdrop appeared on the rabbit's head. "Sorry. Who?"

Smash looked over at the rabbit, somewhat surprised to see a rabbit in such shape. "Nevermind that. Who are you, exactly?"

Rock:If your here to help us,we'll take it.

The rabbit struck a pose. "Why I'm Frederick the rabbit and I couldn't help but overhear your little GUN dilemna and I'm willing to offer my knowledge of the army to your group.

"Wait, you can't be here to help us. Your not in my book."

Frederick pushed the book away. "Oh silly little girl, have some candy." Hands Candi a lolipop and she happily licks it.

Smash folded his arms, raising an eyebrow at him. "Alright, since we're in a bit of a hurry, let's cut to the chase. What do you have to tell us?" He asked. Gizmo watched the rabbit suspiciously, but Kitty was staring at the lolipop.

Broski:(Keeping lookout)

"Well I know an easy way to get to the underground. The simple solution would be using a mine cart but you have to think: if Candi is wanted they'll be guearding sewers, mines everything that's obvious so you have to expect the unexpected. They wouldn't think to seal up Station Square or Twerunka Jungle's dirt because they're so close to their bases no one would think to go there but if we do go there the security won't be as tight because like I said, they won't expect us to go there so if we do we'll be safe. Besides, the fastest way underground is in the Station Square area."

"He's right..." Candi said astonished.

"So, we're going into sneak into through lion's den. Very clever." He said. "Do you know of a specific entrance or spot to start digging in, or are you suggesting that we just wing it from there?"

Rock:There might be.If not,winging works too.

"Doesn't truly matter where we dig. If we do it in Twerunka Jungle we have the trees as good camouflage but if we do it near the base like I said, they'll be less likely to suspect anything. Oh and one more thing,"

"What is it?"

"Can I go pee?"

Broski:Its clear for now.

(XD.Sorry.That's just funny)

Smash slapped his forehead. "Ugh. G-..Go over there!"

"Thanks!" Frederick sprinted away from the group and found a far, secluded place to pee. As he was peeing she spoke into his wristwatch.

"Commander, it's done. They're heading towards the base."

"Excellent Agent Frederick! What would you like me to do with them?"

"I saw their battle from above. You'll need like a magnent robot to take away Kyle's sword without it he's just your average joe. Then send in about twenty assualters to kill the group and one retriver to retrieve the lunatic."

"Excellent and....what's that nose."

"It's me dude. I'm peeing."

"Dude! Did you drink a river it friekin' sounds like a waterfall out there!"

"Shut up! I haven't used it in a while."

"Well be careful not to drown your group in pee! Over and out." the coomander hung up.

Ten minutes later Frederick walked back. Sorry, I had a lot to drink.

"Too much information." Smash replied flatly. By that time Kyle and Xantho had caught up with them.

Rock:So,who were you talking to?

"I wasn't talking to anyone. I told you dude, I was peeing."

(Rock seriously wouldn't be able to hear Frederick whispering in his wristwatch, while he was peeing, while he was extremely far from the group)

"Alright alright, can we go now?" Smash asked, impatiently. "Let's hurry up and get this over with." I don't know why we bothered to even wait for him. He thought.

Broski:I got a bad feeling in my gut.

The three began to trek then after an hour Cnadi started to complain.

"Broski, I'm HUNGREEEEE!"

"Shh. Keep your voice down." Smash warned. "We don't want to attract any attention, whether anyone's here or not."

"What do you usually eat, anyway?" Gizmo asked.

"Earthworms, invertibrae, nuts, bones, your garbage that you guys throw away such as rotten food, half-eaten hamburgers, food that induces food poisoning and sewer waste. We're not exactly the healthiest eaters but we do what we have to to survive."

Gizmo scratched inside of his ear. "I see..."

"Eww..." Kitty grimaced.

"Your not any better. Half of the disgusting food we eat come from you guys letting the food rot and grow mold."

"Alright let's not get carried away now." Smash interrupted. "People litter, that's true. But you can't blame everyone for it."

"Most of the people in Green Flower City are pretty protective about the environment." Gizmo added. "They're pretty much completely against littering and pollution."

"True I guess. Though Station Square states they're clean freaks even though about half of our food comes from them."

Broski:(Digs in his bag and pulls out a bag of chips)You can have this if you want Candi.

Candi eats the entire chip bag. "Meh, I wonder what's better the bag or the chips?"

"So, why are we digging?" Yuki asked.

"Ah, that's right. I guess we didn't tell you." Smash said, looking back at Yuki. "Y'see, this girl's home is being dug up by GUN. We need to get down there, 'cause things are looking bad for her and her people."

"I see." He replied.

As the group treked the silence proved to awkward for Candi. "Sooo.....since we need to trust eachother? Wanna' tell secrets?"

"S-secrets?!" Yuki said with a suprised face. He didn't want to reveal he was friends with Scourge and Fiona.

Rock:But not extreme secrets.We don't want others to feel bad.

"Secrets?" Smash rose an eyebrow, looking at her at the corner of his eye. "Hmm...well I suppose. Though I got nothing to hide." ''What're you getting at, Candi? He wondered. Though then again, this could be a chance to get some insight on our new "Friends"..''.

"Nor I." Kyle admitted. "I cannot think of anything that I should need to hide." He appeared to actually be trying to think of something.

Gizmo scratched his head. "Well, I don't think I do eith...er.." It was at that moment that he actually remembered one secret he did want to hide.

Candi folded her arms. "C'mon guys! Either you tell me your secrets or I'll start calling you guys by the book's names again!"

Frederick scratched his head. "Well once when I was training I shot everyone on my team by accident since I thought they were all training dummies..."

"Well, i-i'm friends with Scourge and Fiona, there..." Yuki said.

"I don't believe I've heard of those people." Kyle stated.

Candi looked confused. "Who now?"

"You know Sonic the Hedgehog, right?" Yuki asked.

Broski:Well,I'm known to blow up my bombs by accident as I'm working on them.

"Yeah, anyways, Scourge is a counterpart of Sonic"

"So?" Candi asked.

Yuki sighed. "And he's evil.."

Rock:My secret is just that I don't like my friends getting hurt.

"You call that a secret? -_-"

Smash facepalmed, and mumbled something under his breath. "So..what about you, Federick, or whatever your name was? Got anything interesting to share?" He asked, eyeing him closely.

"Aparrently you weren't listening to what I said a minute ago." A vein mark appeared on his head. "But I'll say it slowly, just for you. Once when I was training I shot everyone on my team by accident since I thought they were all training dummies..."

(I didn't see because you added stuff back up there.~Smash The Echidna~ http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100421224452/sonicfanon/images/0/04/Smash_life.png 04:26, April 8, 2012 (UTC))

"Ouch.." Yuki said, as he grabbed a cookie from his backpack.

Broski:So is that everyone?

Frederick frowned. "Nope! Those Shady three still haven't gone. Also Candi hasn't gone."

"Shady three? I think you've got it backwards." Smash muttered. "Anyway, Like I said, I don't have anything to hide. I'm not sure what to tell ya."

"I'll go last!" Candi said.

Rock:Sounds fair enough.

Kyle thought for a moment. "Let me see. Well...You all may find this strange, but..I've had this excrutiating fear of horses for a long time, now. I've only recently begun to fully get over it."

"That IS strange!" Candi said. "Seems like with a horse and that sword of yours you'd be killer!"

"Yes, it is.." Kyle nodded, with a frown.

Frederick shot Smash a dirty look. "If you have nothing to hide tell us Smash. With GUN chasing us we can't hold anything back now. It's all or nothing."

"Don't look at me like that! When I say I got nothing to hide, I mean I got no secrets to tell! I'd have told you otherwise!" He snapped back. "The only real secret I held back from everyone, I revealed at least two years ago. Would you have me repeat myself? Because I doubt you'd fully understand unless you were there at the time."

"You seem mighty suspicious. How bout' this the only person who doesn't share a secret will be forever BANISHED from this group. Back me up on this Candi."

"Well I don't..." Frederick handed her a candy bar. "Yup, only person that doesn't share his secret is banished."

"Now wait just a second, who the crap made YOU the leader!?" Smash folded his arms, narrowing his eyes at him. "You're only here because YOU decided to tag along and offer information!"

Rock:NO offence,but that seems harsh.There's a saying,you have to respect others secrets,even when they don't want to share them.Plus,Smash is part of the team.

"Part of the team? I'm the one who formed the team in the FIRST place! But fine, if that's how you wanna play." He sighed and shook his head. "There was this organization, back then. One named Skull Cross. I can't really tell you what they were REALLY after, but they ended up killing a very close friend of mine."

Gizmo looked down, realizing what he was talking about. "Jenny..."

"I had recieved the news from another friend, who warned me not to get involved with them, thinking that I'd get killed too. One day, I had an encounter with Skull Cross. I was nearly killed that day, when they tried to steal the Chaos Emeralds into space. I managed to prevent at least that, and that's when I learned of my abilities. From that day on I decided to investigate further into the matter, as well as train harder than I ever had, so that I could put an end to them. I never told anyone what had happened, not even about Jenny's death. I didn't want them to get involved, for the same reason my friend didn't want me to. It went on like that for four years. Eventually, I had to tell them. Skull Cross had struck again, and this time they stirred up a mess with my friends living near my. With everyone confused and panicked, I knew I couldn't hold it back from them any longer; things had gotten personal for everybody." Smash looked back at Federick. "Parts of that story I never even revealed until today. So, is that secret enough for you?"

Broski:(Has a pocky stick in his mouth when he hed Smash's storty)

"I take it that's Gizmo's secret as well...wow....you could've just said something like you wet the bed or somethin'." {C}"Pfft. That's childs play." Smash scoffed.

Frederick smiled "It would be a real shame if something that important got out..." {C}"Yes, but it's all done and over now." Smash said, firmly. "Anyway-" {C}"MY TURN!" Candi shouted with glee. "Well, you know how GUN's chasing us? Well I found a flier saying that if I told them where Candi was I would get candy. So I dialed the number and told them where I was. But that was HOURS ago so they shouldn't know where we are now?" She looked nervous "Right?" {C}Suddenly several robots fell out the sky. "TARGET ACQUIRED! PREPARE TO DIE NOW!"

Candi's pupil's shrunk. "Uh-oh!"

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Smash shouted at the top of his lungs.

Rock:(Shoot some rocks at their cores and destroyed them)Let's take care of these robots.

Frederick started to scream. "RUN! EVERYONE RUN!"

Smash grabbed Candi's arm and ran as fast as he could away from them. Kyle and Gizmo followed behind.

Frederick ran the opposite way with therobots chasing him. When he was out of listening range he stopped running and began to pant.

"You idiots didn't have to run so fast!"

"Sorry agent Frederick..."

"Anyways I want the magnet bo to attack Kyle and steal his Gemblade then I want two assualters to attack him and his friends. I want the rest of you to attack the rest got it!?"

All the robots fly away except for one.

"Yes sir!"

"Now let's make it look believable." He runs away from the lone robot pursuing him.

In no time the magnent bot caught up with Kyle. "MAGNET POWERS...ACTIVATE!" if in range the Gemblade would attach itself to the magnent bot.

Kyle turned around to face the robot, and immediately felt the pull on his sword. He drew it, and held on tightly. "T-This power...!" The blade was starting to slip from his grasp. Gizmo and Kitty stopped and turned around, noticing what was happening. "Kyle!" Kyle knew he couldn't resist much longer. "If you so wish to have my sword...then so be it!" He lunged towards the robot, letting the magnet do the work of pulling him towards it, as he pointed the sword directly towards it. "Gem of Fire, lend me thy power!" but the blade simply stuckt to the robot.

"I AM FIRE RESISTANT...YOU HAVE NO USE! SURRENDER AND I WILL SPARE YOUR LIFE! LET GO OF THE BLADE."

Broski:(THrows his bombs as the robots chase him with Rock)

Rock:WE need to regroup soon.

"HEEELP!" Frederick cried.

"Kyle, Hang on!" Gizmo ran to the side of the robot, and whipped out his chaff gun. He handed it to Kitty, who then proceeded to fire electrified needles designed to disable most machines. Gizmo then rammed his shoulder into the side of it, hoping to knock it over.

Kyle managed to keep hold of the blade, now that it wasn't moving. Hoping that Gizmo's chaff gun would work, he carried on with his spell. "O incandescent locus, annihilate the vulgar before me! Spiral Flare!" With that, a huge blast of flames shot out from the tip of the blade, which was already partly inside the robot, in the form of a huge explosion. The force of the blast would have been enough to separate the two a good distance away from eachother.

Gizmo backed up as soon as he heard the chanting, and avoided the explosion.

"YOUR SIMPLE GUN WILL NOT WORK ON US! OUR PROGRAMMER MADE SURE TO MAKE ME IMMUNE TO THAT AFTER THE FIRST TIME." But when the explosion occurred the robot was blown to pieces. Combined with his own self-desruct module created a gigantic explosion.

(Away from the others)

"NO!" Frederick mumbled. "Send over two more magnent bots!" Frederick whispered into his wristwatch.

Two more magnent bots appeared in the area where Kyle was then the stood side by side. "MAGNET POWER X2!" and then they turned on their amped up magnet.

Candi sighed. "It's a shame the ground is metallic. If it wasn't I could help."

"Nngh..!" Kyle grunted, trying to hold onto his sword. "Why..do they want..the Gemblade all of a sudden..!?" Once again, he ended up letting himself get pulled towards the robots, trying to stab them again. "There must be..some way to stop them..!"

Gizmo quickly opened up his wrist communicator, and held down a button. "Oh, please I hope Smash still has it."

Rock:(Looks at Fred with a odd face)For a muscle rabbit,he sure acts like a wimp at times.

Broski:Let's join up with Smash and Candi.

Rocck:THat's why I carry some earth and rocks in cause I run into something like this.I could lent you some.It nothing mayor,but it can give you a fighting chance Candi.

Broski:(Detroyed the bot chasing Fred)You can stop running now.

Fred: Thanks man!

Back with Smash and Candi, they both heard a beeping sound. "What..?" Smash moved up his glove to look above his watch, where his own wrist communicator was attached. Without a second thought, he opened it and saw Gizmo's face on a screen. "Gizmo! Are you alright!?"

"I am, but Kyle isn't! They're trying to steal the Gemblade; he can't handle this on his own!"

"What can we do?!" Candi cried.

"Not even the Chaff Gun worked! And even if we get by these guys, the robots just keep coming!" Gizmo cried out frantically.

Smash grunted. He wanted to go back and help, but that would mean bringing Candi into danger. "...Just hang in there, you guys! I'll do what I can from here."

"A-Alright.." Gizmo turned around, looking up from the communicator. Kyle was still stuck to the robot, with the other beside it. "I..I'm not sure what to do.." ''If they find out about all my equipment, they're going to come after me, too..! I gotta think outside the box.''.

Meanwhile, Smash's transmission ended. He pressed a couple of buttons rapidly on it, until a blank green screen showed. "Everyone, Anyone who can hear this, please respond!" He sent out a distress signal to anyone who still had their wrist communicators from the events of Odyssey. "Splice, Thunder, do you copy? This is Smash, we've got an emergency here! If any of you can hear this, we need you at the northern outskirts of Fox Forest, on the way to Night Forest!" He shouted. He looked back at the others, "Even with that, help won't arrive immediately."

Rock:Half will go help kyle and the other protects Candi.

Candi stomped making a metallic clank sound against the metal. "NO! I will not just sit here and be a liability!" Her eyes widened. "One of you...one of you have to wear my headband!"

"Your..headband? What purpose does that serve, now?" Smash asked.

Broski:Does it let you copy the powers of the wearer?

Candi shook her head. "No Broski...I know you don't believe that you're my cultures angels but you'll try anything to help your friend won't you? My grandma gave me this when I was just a baby. She says if it is wore on the head by an angel their power will drastically increase but if they wear it too long they'll perish." she took her headband off.

"You have to try!"

"I'll do it, then." Smash took the headband. "Broski, Rock, you guys watch after Candi. I'll deal with the robots myself."

Rock:Be careful Smash.

((Girliness increased by 40! Just kidding XD))

As soon as Smash put on the girly pink headband he could feel his whole being pumped with seemingly limitless energy. His strength and stamina drastically increased and senses made an improvement as well.

Incredible... He thought. He fixed his hair so that it covered most of the band from showing. But I only have a limited amount of time. Let's do this! He rushed back towards the battlefield, feeling his power rising.

Broski:Let's go Candi.WE don't want to get caught up in more bots.

Cand left with Broski but she looked back one last time and smiled before she left completely.

"POWER....UNRECOGNISABLE..."

"THAT'S....SMASH!"

"IS THAT A HEADBAND MODEL 255?"

Kyle and Gizmo looked up at the oncoming echidna. "Kyle, hang on!" Smash shouted.

"That's about all I can do at this point!" Kyle called back. Smash leaped towards the second robot, and plowed his fist right through the magnetic plate. With the second robot gone, Kyle felt safe enough to free himself from the first. "Spiral Flare!" He repeated the same skill as last time, launching himself away from the robot with the Gemblade in hand.

With the second robot gone all was safe...until three assualters entered the battlefield. They were the same as the last one except instead of magnetic abilities they were equipped with Machine guns, pistols, better jet packs, etc.

The first assualter fired a barrage of bullets at Gizmo and the second assaulter did the same.

Gizmo leaped high into the air, while Kitty scrambled away. With the push of a button, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, allowing him to maintain flight. "Alright, I'm not gonna hold back any more!" He pulled out his Hand Cannon, and began firing large balls of plasma at the assaulters. The plasma blasts destroyed the newly fired bullets as they approached him. Upon impact, the plasma would burst into several smaller plasmatic explosions.

Smash dove into the second assaulter and began tearing into it with his fists, while Kyle did virtually the same to the third.

(I need some sleep guys.Let's pick up tomarrow if I'm on)

(Okay, then. Good night.)

The plasma proved to much for the robot and it shut down and violently exploded as did the other two. With the robots defeated the headband announced. "Mission complete!"

Smash's eyebrows shot up as he heard the voice. But after hearing it, he knew it was time to take it off. Without wasting any time, he untied the headband from his forehead and stuffed it into his pocket. "Are you guys alright?" He asked, as Gizmo landed on the ground.

"We're fine, I think." Gizmo answered, deactivating and putting away his gear.

"Indeed." Kyle swiped his sword to the side before returning it to it's sheath. "We must hurry back to the others, though. We have only stalled them for a limited amount of time."

"I'm starting to think that going to Station Square is a bad idea rnow." Smash said, softly. "We might need to take a different route."

"Why's that?" Gizmo asked.

"Well...I have a couple of reasons for thinking this, one being the fact that I believe after Candi's phone call, they probably figured out which direction we're headed. If that's the case then we'll only run into more robot attacks." Smash explained. "The second reason..I'd rather not say yet. Though it's slowly feeling like I'm right about this hunch," He walked towards them, lowering his voice to a whisper. "It's for that reason that I don't want to speak outloud about it. All I can say is, watch your mouths and your backs." His eyes darted from left to right, before he walked away from them entirely. The two were rather disturbed, but had a feeling they knew what he meant. "Lets catch up with the others."

"Right." Kyle and Gizmo nodded at the same time. Kitty peeked out from a bush, and quickly flew back towards them.

By the time they reached the others it was the end of evening.

Candi hugged Gizmo. "I saw you through the trees! You were great and look!" She opened her book and flipped to the page which showed Gizmo and the picture showed Gizmo with his magic wings sprouted firing several plasma spheres.

She smirked. "Not an angel my a-"

Frederick yawned. "Okay guys, I say it's about time to set up camp. We'll need all our sleep to make it to Station Square by tomorrow."

A sweat drop rolled down the side of Gizmo's face. "Ah, actually those wings..Aw, I'll explain later."

Smash rose an eyebrow at the rabbit. "And where were you?" He inquired, putting his hands on his hips.

Frederick growled. "Running for my life! Problem officer?" he said sarcastically.

Broski:YEah,I had to blow up the bot that was chasing him.

Rock:I'm surprise that with those muscles,you could easyly punch that bot to pieces.But you just ran from the robot.

"I concur." Kyle said.

"Heh" Yuki snickered. "Looks like i missed off" (And so did his creator.. >.>)

"Okay, we'll see how you are next time in battle." he said with a wicked smile. Suggesting that if it boiled down to him and Broski being the only ones up, he would surely try to kill him. Smash gave him a suspicious look,

"Hmph" Yuki moaned, relaxing on a rock. All he could think about was his secret crush, Fiona. He would never tell his crush to anyone.

Rock:So what now guys?

"Like I said, we need to set up camp." Frederick said. "It's getting real dark."

Yuki began to look for sticks to start a fire.

Broski:(Sets up the tents)

(Froze was in the city sitting on a building)

"Done." Gizmo announced, looking up at the tents.

Kyle set down his backpack and opened it up. "If anyone else is hungry, I have some fresh bread here. It is not much, though."

Rock:Me and Bros brought some chips,jerky and pockey if you guys want any.

Candi yawned. "Hey guys. Back at home I read to my grandma a page or two of my book. Since she's not here...I was hoping you wouldn't mind if I read some to you guys."

Broski:I don't mind.How about you guys?

"Sure, why not?" Smash shrugged. "I'm surprised that you had the time to bring some books with you,though."

Yuki sighed. "What's it called?" He asked.

Rock:Whatever its called,I'll listen.

Candi laughed. "Oh Smash. Just think of how crrazy I would get without the books!" she made a coocoo sound.

Frederick rolled his eyes. "Crazier than usual?" he mumbled.

Candi opened her book and started reading. "Luki, the angel of darkness: Though it is a strange occurence for an angel to command the power of darkness Luki is one of the few exceptions. Born in a vicious jungle, his parents were killed by a savage clan of frogs but their leader decided to raise the child as his grandson. During his first 11 years of living he met his two friends, Drofi a water angel and Dululu the angel of royal chaos. After his village was burned down by an evil demon his grandfather told him the truth about his heritage. Luki then went on an adventure to explore the world. He eventually rekindled his relationship with Dululu and faced the man who burned down his home. In the struggle he lost his life protecting the city of Plaza de la Estación. Dululu then revived him with her tears of revival then Luki, Dululu and Drofi became a team. They then went on many adventures such as meeting Tina and many other famous angels. Loki's darkness powers are mainly in his savage dark form. Loki fought the nature angel, Spockius in this form. If you meet Luki be very wary because he often gets drafted into the demon's side without knowing their plans." Candi closed the book and smiled. "It was a good read wasn't it? Want to here more?"

Broski:That's a interesting story.I don't mind hearing another one.

Smash, Kyle and Gizmo stared in surprise. "That's...That was..." Gizmo stammered.

Yuki grinned a bit. "It's.... creative.."

Candi jumped up. "OH, I almost forgot to show you guys a picture of him!" She opened the book and the picture on Luki's page looked exactly like Dark Krinkinko.

"Holy crap..." That just confirmed it for Smash, and probably everyone else too.

Rock:That looks alot like that Krinkino.But he's darker in this one.

Frederick shrugged. "I guess but I doubt it's him."

Broski:Any other stories Candi?

GUN solider:*Carefully aiming a sniper at the back of froze's head*

Froze:..*impaled a death beam on the GUN solider's rib* Weakling *Sensed smash and co* I have other matters to attend to * Floated over to the deceased GUN solider and took his ID card* This might be useful * Then jumped down and walked to the forest

Just then, the group heard something rustling behind the bushes. Smash and Kyle stood up immediately, the latter putting his hand on his sword. "Something's here." Kyle whispered.

"Or someone." Smash added, glaring towards the direction of the sound.

Candi jumped up and looked around. "Which direction is it coming from?!"

"There." Smash pointed ahead. "Stay behind me.."

The rustling suddenly stopped seemingly at the sound of his voice. "...Guys!?" A voice called out. Kyle and Gizmo looked surprised, but Smash let out a sigh of relief. A red and blue hedgehog stumbled out of the bush, rushing towards them. "It IS you! Are you alright!? I came rushing as soon as I got the call!" He exclaimed. Another hedgehog carefully stepped over the bushes, and followed after.

"Yeah, we're fine now. But we'll need help later. Thanks for coming." Smash said.

Candi bowed. "Hello Splice."

Rock:Good thing its another ally.

Splice looked over at Candi and waved. "Oh hi there-uh..wait, who are you again? How'dja know my name?"

She sighed. "I know everyone Splice. I know, I know I'm crazy but I really do."

Frederick walked to Splice and whispered into his ear. "Word of advice: run. You do not know what you're getting yourself into."

Splice frowned worriedly at the rabbit. The yellow hedgehog behind him just scratched his head in confusion. Smash walked towards them both, and put his hands on their shoulders. "Could I have a word with you two? Let's talk over there."

"Uh, sure." Splice said. The three walked over near the bushes where they entered, and Smash began to explain the situation.

Yuki yawned, looking somewhat tired. "So, what now?"

"We're gaining two more allies!" Candi said excitedly while jumping up and down.

"Oh, great." He said, looking bored.

Broski:The more the merrier they say.

Yuki rolled his eyes. ''Not for me.. ''He thought.

Candi looked at Yuki annoyed. "Your not much of a people's person are you?"

"No, i just don't like too many people around.. me."

"So that's what's going on?" Thunder, the yellow hedgehog asked. The two were rather shocked to hear that they were being pursued by GUN. "Yeah, that's about the size of it." Smash nodded. "But listen, Our current 'Destination' was Station Square. Basically we're heading into the city they're most active in aside from the capital, and we're gonna have Candi dig us down to her home."

"Whoa wait, time out." Splice interrupted. "You're outrightly going into their most active city, despite knowing the dangers? Are you insane!?"

Smash shook his head. "Listen. All their main troops are out looking for us. The plan was they'd never guess that we'd actually head right into their base." His eyes darted from left to right, as he lowered his voice to a whisper. "But now, after being attacked on the way there, I have a feeling they've learned which way we're headed." He folded his arms. "If that's true, then they'll have prepared a trap for us right there."

"So then turn back. Find another place to dig." Thunder suggested, plainly.

"Well I would, but unfortunately it's not that simple." He narrowed his eyes, looking to the side. "Don't look now, but that rabbit over there with the group? I have a sneaking suspicion that he's not really who he seems. I have quite a few reasons to believe that he's trying to lead us down the wrong path, but I don't have any definite proof."

"What all makes you think that?" Splice asked, looking worried.

"I don't want to say everything now, just in case he decides to come over here. But one main thing that almost convinced me as a whole; He tried to get me booted off the team because I didn't share any secrets with them."

"What the heck..?" Splice scratched his head.

"It makes sense in context." Smash shrugged. "Anyway, I'm trying to find a chance to break everyone away from him, but I need to do so when he's not watching us. Maybe when everyone's asleep, but that might not work out either. I'm kinda stuck here."

"Hmm..." Thunder folded his arms and closed his eyes. "This isn't going to be easy..."

Kitty let out a big yawn before curling up in the grass in front of the campfire. "Well, If that's all for tonight, then I guess we should head to bed?" Gizmo suggested.

"Sure" Said Yuki, his eyelids dropping.

Rock:I'll take 1st watch.

(Later)

Frederick crawls out o his sleeping bag and quietly hikes away from the camping ground. After he is a safe distance away from his fake allies, scrambles up a tree and takes out a wristwatch.

"Commander," he whispers into the wrist watch.

But he only heres the voices of the soap opera the commander is watching added with his snoring.

"Commander..." he grits through his teeth.

He presses a button on his wrist watch then the commander is tazed awake.

"WHAT IS IT FREDERICK!?"

"What's our status?"

His face still masked the commander starts to laugh hysterically. "Oh, funny thing about that is: THE TEAM ISN'T DEAD AND THE GIRL IS STILL ON THE LOOSE!"

Frederick shushed the commander. "Easy there..it's the dead of night."

"EASY! How the hell can't you capture the girl and kill the gang when I send you three magnet bots and about a dozen assualters!?"

"T-the girl! She's more dangerous than I anticipated! She has this headband that.."

The commander let out an agonized groan. "A headband? Are you serious agent Frederick. IMPROVISE! I expect a polished new tactic by this afternoon our your off the mission!" the call ended.

Frederick looked down at the ground and growled. "They say she's just a mentally unstable girl. That she can't do much....but she can do a lot of things. She somehow brainwashed them into thinking that GUN's the enemy...she'll cost all the moles their lives...but I know what I'll do...I'll kill her...." he raised up a hunting knife to the starry night sky. "FOR JUST-" he lost his balance and fell off the tree but he raised his knifr again unfazed. "FOR JUSTICE!" he whispered as he painflly limped back towards the campsite.

He slipped in his cover and looked left, then right before slowly closing his eyes.

Rock:(Sitting on a overturned tree acting like he knows nothing with his eyes closed)

They had no idea that another being had entered the camp area, he had blended in perfectly under the cover of night, thanks to his umbrakinesis, he had just passed Rock, and has heading further into the center of the camp.

Frederick spoke up. "I know your awake, human."

Rock:And I know your not as friendly as you say.Besides,I did say I take 1st watch.Remember?

The being has moved past them, while they were distracted by their conversation, hoping that they wouldn't take notice in him, but he was always taught, most people don't expect to see anything, so they don't. He hoped that was the case here.

"And YOUR friendly? Last time I checked friendly people don't chuck rocks at robots..."

Rock:I only did so cause that girl was attacking us and ruining the forest.

"Wow, your such a gentleman." He then rolled his eyes then suddenly stopped. "But I think we should be alerting our attention to the ominous figure moving in the shadows..." he stood up and took out his survival knife.

''Dang, should of been more careful, unless, they mean someone else. . . No, I would of picked them up by now. Well, time for some intimidation tactics, but I'll wait until the right moment.'' Then he stood deathly still and silent, hoping that they couldn't find him in the shadows.

Frederick held out his knife in the direction of the figure. "Show yourself, NOW."

He still remained silent, not even breathing, only drawing the slightly amount of breath when nessesary and in an instant the knife went flying in the direction of the figure.

Rock:(Walks to the figures way with his sword ready)

''No need to stay still any longer. ''So he leaped up into the night sky, revealing a familar set of quils and also canceling his shadow meld, then summoned his sword in a short flash of light, then pointed it at both of them.

Frederick gritted his teeth. ''"I hate this whole powerless act but I do what I have to do." ''he thought.

The figure held his blade still, not showing any clear emotion in face or his posture, but still on the look out for anymore people that might ambush him from behind.

Rock:Who are you?

"I thought that you might remember me from Green Flower City, you know, the guy that was called 'Xavier' by that Candi girl, you lot left me behind, and I've been trying to catch up, with tonight being the only night I wasn't disturbed by G.U.N., crazy bunch, thought I was a part of your team because I was seen with her." he said, kinda disappointed, yet neutral in his posture, still listening out for the others that might try to sneak behind him.

Frederick shook his head put his knife back. "If you've ascosciated yourself with the mole then there's no going back." he held out his hand for Xantho to shake it. "Your stuck with us."

"I already know. . ." then he shook his hand back.

Rock:Let's get back to bed you two.

Xantho shook his head, "I already had mine for the next few days, I don't sleep often, I prefer not to."

"Sucks to be you." Frederick said as he slipped in his sleeping bag and closed his eyes, happy to get some hard-earned sleep.

Rock:(Sits back on the tree and keeps lookout)

"Hmmf", not impressed by Frederick's remark, not in the slightest, though he focused his attension on to other things of more importance.

Chapter Three
(In the mornng)

Candi yawns as she stretches out of her sleeping bag. "Good morning, my little dream team." she said with a cheerful smile.

((Okay, leaving me behind kinda destroyed my idea, yet again, but I'll have to work with it.~Smash The Echidna~  http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100421224452/sonicfanon/images/0/04/Smash_life.png 02:39, April 11, 2012 (UTC)))

Smash was already awake, and standing over the logs that used to be the campfire. It was rather early, as the sun was only just rising. "You're up early." He said, quietly. He looked around, trying to see if Frederick was awake.

Frederick opened one eye but didn't crawl out of his sleeping bag. "So are you, bluey..."

"I'm always up this early." He said, simply. "And would it kill you people call me Smash?" Xantho was over over by the tree, with his back facing it, just leaning on it, having never gotten any sleep to begin with that previous night, though he was just sharpening his sword quietly, even though it already had a razor sharp edge.

Broski:(Wakes up yawning)What a wild dream I had.

Frederick smiled. "Let me try. Smash." he then made fake choking sounds then laughed. "Sorry, bluey. I tried."

Smash just rolled his eyes and turned away. "Whatever."

Rock:Joking aside.ANyone need to do anything before we plan ahead?

Kyle then walked over to the group from behind the campsite. "Ah, everyone is awakening." He said. "I have just returned from checking the perimeter. All is clear."

Rock:Good to hear.

Candi clasped her hands together and smiled, "Good, I'd like to read one more page to inspire us."

Broski:Sure Candi.

"If you so wish." Kyle nodded, and sat down with them. Gizmo crawled out of his sleeping bag, and Splice slowly sat up and stretched.

Xantho stops sharpening his sword, and turns his head slightly to hear Candi better.

Rock:We're listening.^^

Yuki was still sleeping, but was talking in his sleep.

Broski:Should we wake Yuki up?

Yuki woke up, not fully, and yelled. "GAHH!!! FIREBENDERS ARE ATTACKING!!! LOL FACES!!! AND- uhh, o h hi there!" He screamed, causing Thunder to wake up in a panic.

"Shh! Be Quiet!" Smash hissed. "We're trying to keep a low profile here..!"

"Sorry.." He whispered.

Rock:Its alright.

Candi slowley took off her shades. "Hey, I've adjusted to the angelic light! Now on to the story." She flipped open the pages when Frederick interupted her.

"There once was a king and queen who roamed in the land of unicorns and rainbows and bunnies and shunshine then they all lived happily ever after. The End." he mocked with a stupidly happy smile. Smash grunted in disgust.

"Ha ha very funny." Candi said as she rolled her eyes and started reading. "Bear with me if I don't say your true names. Anyways, The Sailor brohters. There once was four, yellow hedgehog brothers: Zap, Lightning, Electric and Thunder that lived in the angelic city of Green Flower. They were the victims of a tragic past. Their parents had died on a horrible house fire where the house collapsed thus burning and crushing their parents to death. They were then shipped off to the horrible orphanage. Though the made it out of the storm and into the light, a new house near the docks where their detiney called. The eldest brother, Electric then won a competition where he was awarded a lot of money, enough money to buy a very grand ship, called the Thunder Boat big enough to hold the whole family of hedgehogs. After designing and customizing their ship to their liking, the brothers set sail for the first time. Without knowing it the four became a rather experianced and well-rounded sail team who sail around the world in search of adventure and treasure. Over the years they've met quite a few different angels including Tina who also lives in the fair City of Greenflower. Notes: It is strongly advised that you don't anger one of the brothers because each one has the other's back and they command power electric powers not to mention almost all of them possess super-speed. Be wary, be wary indeed." She let out a smile and showed a picture of four yellow hedgehogs on a ship. "Yeah, they're one of my favorite but I'm TERRIFIED of water..."

Broski:Another good story.

Thunder stared at her in shock. Though she slipped up on some minor details, she had just told everyone about his past life; and it was already written down in a book. "T-That was..." His voice trailed off; he was stunned.

Candi looked at Thunder then her book then Thunder again. "So, your Thunder?"

Yuki got some weeds and grass, then started eating them.

Rock:Seems like we need something to eat.Who's hungry?

"Wait, can I read ONE more page first?"

Frederick rolled his eyes and facepalmed. "I think we've had enought of imaginary sailor electric hedgehogs."

Thunder leaned forward, glaring at Frederick. He was about to protest, but he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over and saw Kyle giving him a blank stare, before shaking his head. "Let it go, for now." He whispered.

Smash folded his arms and frowned. They needed to get moving soon, but he couldn't let them go to Station Square. He needed to think of a plan to get them to turn around without alerting the wrong people.

Candi spoke up. "Okay guys. Echidnas, pigs, hedgehogs, and moles are able to eat insects plus I'm pretty sure ehdgehogs can digest them so lets just find a nice ant hole and we can have breakfast....though I'm not sure about cats or chao..."

Broski:I'm sure we can found some berries to gather and fish to catch.

Frederick rolled his eyes at Candi's suggestion. "Not unless you want to clean up the rat droppings. I'll catch the fish I know where a stream is." he starts walking away from the group.

Splice stood up, "I'll go with you." He offered, jogging off after him.

Frederick smiled and patted Splice's head. "No, it's okay Bluey, go eat some ants like the mole said."

((That was Splice, not Smash. =/ ))

((Well at least he can still call him "bluey"

Splice looked offended. "Hey! What do I look like to ya, an anteater? Blech!"

Rock:I'll collect the berries.

Frederick smiled some more. "Well feral hedgehogs eat ants so it shouldn't be much of a problem for you. I on the other hand will viloently deposit my feces uncontrabbly if I eat an ant."

"Too Much Information." Smash informed, once again grossed out. "Just go already, we don't really have time for this."

"As in go get the fish, gladly." he said as he picked up his pace to try and shake off his follower.

"Splice, come here." Smash called him back. Splice turned back and headed over. "Everyone gather 'round. While our 'Rabbit friend' is out getting food, let's quickly go over what we need to do." He said.

Candi was easy eating a family of worms. "What is it?" she asked with her mouth full.

"Aww, that's what i was gonna say" Said Yuki.

Broski:Its a meeting.Come join.

"I am in" He muttered.

Rock:Ready when you are Smash.

As everyone huddled close, Smash sat in front of them all. He took one quick glance around to see if anyone else was watching. "Alright, I'm gonna make this as brief as understandably possible." He said, lowering his voice a little. "We need to turn back. We can't go to Station Square. I'm pretty sure GUN already knows we're heading there. There's a trap up ahead, I know it. I feel it in my gut. GUN caught us on the way there. After we were chased out of Green Flower City, the only other city in the direction we're headed is Station Square. I'm sure they're prepared for us."

"So would you have us return to Green Flower City, then?" Kyle asked.

"No. They're probably ready for that, too. We gotta turn back, but we're not going to a city at all. I propose that we head down to Green Flower Zone. I doubt they've gone that far, and nobody would stand for it if they dug up the ground there. It's bad enough that they almost burned down the forest. GUN is likely to get a lotta complaints for that, but I digress." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "There's a cave behind the first waterfall you see there. It leads to the Cat Chao Garden. The cave already has two different paths dug into it. It's the perfect place to dig a new one." His eyes darted from left to right again, before continuing. "Frederick...I don't trust him. He's up to something, and he keeps finding ways to separate himself from the group. I could list a number of reasons I don't trust him, but I'm just gonna say this: He's done too much..yet too little, for me to allow him to stay with this group. If my hunch is correct, then we need to leave, like, NOW."

"So you mean..we leave him behind?" Gizmo whispered back.

"Precisely. I'll explain why along the way. For now, we can't waste another second here. If he discovers what I'm up to, then there'll be trouble. I want us to avoid as little conflict as possible, which is already hard enough with GUN tailing us. Don't worry about food, Kyle should still have a few slices of bread left. We'll get to eat when we get to Green Flower Zone. Now let's move."

Broski:Yes Smash.Stay close Candi.

Candi stomped her foot. "NO!" she shouted while her voice was still quiet. "No man gets left behind and I don't want any of that shady crap! There are a few people that also left the group such as Rock taking a night watch, which he can do basically anything since we're all asleep and Xantho who just popped out of nowhere!" she explained, disgusted.

Rock:I haven't left Candi.I've been here the whole time.

"Then why are we ditching him, huh? If we ditch him, Rock and Xantho go too."

Broski:I've knew Rock for awhile Candi.Rock is on our side and he can fight.Plus,he helped you when we 1st meet you.

(She isn't)

"Then we'll just kick Xantho out. How about that? If not Frederick stays."

Rock:Xantho was left behind during the giant robot.The only thing I seen Fred do is run around when the robots attacked.You prove to help us Candi,more then Fred did.

Candi smiled. "Then how about Lightning and Splice leave if we're going by who helped and didn't help and in that case add me to that list." she threw her headband on the ground and stormed off.

Broski:Candi wait.(Follows her)

Yuki sighed. "I'll go with you" He followed Broski.

But Candi didn't stop running. "Let him stay or else, I'll never stop running!"

"You don't understand, Candi!" Yuki replied.

Broski:Candi,listen didn't you leave your people behind to help them?Look in your angel book.Isn't the angel that Fred is good or evil.

"Funny thing is that last time checked you guys aren't angels. Normal people like me so your not in my book only Tina, Spockius, Glacius and the others! No Smash, Splice Gizmo, Xavier or any of you." she quickly opened her book and scanned it. "Nope, no Frederick..OR THE REST OF YOU!' she started running again.

"Look, even though we're not "angels", you still need our help. Please, Candi!" Shouted Yuki but in seemingly an instant a rock was sent flying towards his face at super-sonic speed.

Broski:You want to save your people or not Candi?So far,the only ones helping you are us.

"Fine, if you wanna be that way, you can. Good luck stopping them by yourself.." He growled.

((Okay so I got left behind at a point where I really shouldn't have. I'm not entirely sure how to continue now..~Smash The Echidna~  http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100421224452/sonicfanon/images/0/04/Smash_life.png 09:33, April 13, 2012 (UTC)))

"Ugh, I should have known that this would happen." Smash groaned. "This isn't good at all."

"Great. Now what?" Splice threw his arms up in the air in frustration. "You want us to dig a way out ourselves?"
