The mongoose would chuckle as she began her tale, barely catching the hedgehog as she performed her dramatic fall. Her gaze would show a bit of concern before slipping back to a friendly smile. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"You've got a flair for the dramatic, huh?"[/color] She'd jokingly ask, easing her back down onto the branch.

[color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"I met him kind of the same way... Robotnik had taken over Metropolis when he first started taking over the planet. I got separated from my parents, and eventually got trapped by his badniks. I thought that was it... until he showed up."[/color] Her story would be much less physically dramatic, closing her eyes as she recalled the details. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Speed like I'd never seen before... and whether it was just plain bravery or he was looking for the thrill... it inspired me."[/color]

She'd pull out her phone once again, she really didn't have much time left. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"We should probably keep trying to look for him..."[/color] Mina would propose...

[color=yellow]"Looking for who?"[/color] A familiar voice called out, and with a gaze over their shoulders the pair would find a certain two tailed fox. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Tails! It's good to see you again, but man... don't sneak up on a girl like that!"[/color] The singer would greet, the fox cub rubbing the back of his head. [color=yellow]"Sorry, just noticed you guys here..."[/color] Looking down he'd also spot the lead detective of the Chaotix. [color=yellow]"Hey Vector! Long time no see!"[/color]

[color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Hey, Tails... sorry to interrupt but we were looking for Sonic."[/color] Mina cuts in, the fox cub turning his gaze back to her, then to Amy with an unsure gaze. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Not like that... I've got a favor to ask him. Know where he is?"[/color]

The flying fox pulled out his PDA as he looked at its screen. [color=yellow]"He's helping me test out a new device I made, which also happens to have a GPS Tracker. Looks like he's... just off to the East of here. Probably over by the falls, come on!"[/color] He'd motion, taking flight as the mongoose reached out a hand. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Wait- I swear sometimes he forgets the rest of us can't fly."[/color]

She parkours down the tree swiftly and gracefully, landing with ease as she prepared to dash off in pursuit. [color=Lightgoldenrodyellow]"Sorry your team kinda took off on ya, need a hand?"[/color] She'd offer the crocodile, a hand outstretched as she offered a boost of speed.

The radio would continue to blow up as the ground team reported in once again.

[color=8882be][i]#Field Team Dark, report status.#[/i][/color]

[color=8882be][i]#Rouge here, heavy badnik resistance down here. Omega's taking care of most of them. Shadow says he's been ambushed by some kind of mercenary team. No sign of the doctor yet, but he's definitely here.#[/i][/color]

[color=8882be][i]#Field Team Dark, copy. Reinforcements inbound. Time to target, 45 minutes.#[/i][/color]

The fatal flaw of the massive GUN Battleship was its speed. By now, it would be far in Kijani's rear view, the edge of Mystic Jungle beginning to appear over the horizon. From her point of view, it may appear peaceful, but within it was far from it.
