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. "You've got a flair for the dramatic, huh?" She'd jokingly ask, easing her back down onto the branch.

"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." Her story would be much less physically dramatic, closing her eyes as she recalled the details. "Speed like I'd never seen before... and whether it was just plain bravery or he was looking for the thrill... it inspired me."

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

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

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

The flying fox pulled out his PDA as he looked at its screen. "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!" He'd motion, taking flight as the mongoose reached out a hand. "Wait- I swear sometimes he forgets the rest of us can't fly."

She parkours down the tree swiftly and gracefully, landing with ease as she prepared to dash off in pursuit. "Sorry your team kinda took off on ya, need a hand?" 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.

#Field Team Dark, report status.#

#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.#

#Field Team Dark, copy. Reinforcements inbound. Time to target, 45 minutes.#

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.

Took a bit longer than I expected. Week was really rough, but hopefully that works for ya guys. Not much for me to say for the trip to Mystic Jungle right now.

"There's more to him than just that, ya know!" Mina's voice would call out, before the mongoose would flip onto the branch just below Amy. "It's his nature to want to help people, it's the whole reason he helped start the Freedom Fighters way back when."

Crossing her arms, she'd give the area a gaze herself before sitting down for a moment. "I gave the place a once over, but knowing him he'd probably be on the move, a fast one at that."

She'd turn her attention back to the pink hedgehog. "How'd you meet him anyways? Let me guess, you got in trouble and he saved you, right?"

[East Metropolitan Highway] @Mistress Dizzy

The GUN Battleship was easy enough to keep track of. But despite its aerial superiority, the behemoth of an aircraft was quite slow as it lumbered towards the jungle. It was entirely possible that the car Kijani was driving could easily beat it to its destination... if it had off-road capability at least. The few logged paths leading to Mystic Jungle were not exactly well kept, many one wouldn't even consider to be a road...

[Mystic Jungle - Northern UZA]

Lights would be flashing and alarm tones blaring as numerous Badnik groups were mobilizing, a familiar face seated at a central terminal. "The Perimeter Alarm's been triggered. Shadow and his team have entered the facility!" Eggman would growl, looking to the figure shrouded in shadow next to him. "You told me your team was the best. Well prove it. Handle them. Now." He'd bark.

"GUN Grunts are one thing, but that's THE Shadow the Hedgehog. We won't be able to hold him back for long-" "Perhaps your team simply isn't up to the task. Is that what I'm hearing?" The doctor would cut him off, causing the figure to jump. "We'll deal with him. How much time do you need?"

Eggman smirks. "That's more like it. I'm copying the research data and flushing the system now. The prototypes are being moved for transport. As much time as you can. Go!"

The figure steps into the light, a jackal by the looks of him. He nods, before dashing out the door, leaving the doctor with his terminal. "Perhaps this will make an excellent test..."

Should have some posts out later today, been a little crazy this week-

Planet Mobius - A Sonic Universe Open World

Hmm... depends on her means. It's off to the Southeast of Metropolis, about dead center of Northern UZA. So it's reachable. Probably more of a 'would she' rather than 'could she'.

As the pink hedgehog led the way, Mina would smile before looking to the Chaotix. "She's sure got some spunk, huh?" She'd comment, looking out towards the lush green hills outside of town. "Yeah... yeah that sounds like Sonic for sure. And I can't let ya do this for nothing, after all... how about some free back stage passes for the festival? That's the least I can do."

Whether they accepted or not, she turned back towards the hedgehog as she had gotten quite a lead. "She's got a head start, better hurry or she might scare him off." She'd joke with a giggle, before getting into a sprinting position... and taking off like a shot. Sure, music was her talent. But she wasn't a one trick pony by any means.

Within moments she'd have caught up with the hedgehog. "You're pretty fast, I'll race ya there!" She'd offer, the streak of yellow taking the lead as they headed for the hills.

It would take a moment as the device synced with the military frequency, with quite a bit of static before it became more clear.

"Command to 'Hammer of Justice', come in, over."

"'Hammer of Justice', read you command. Proceed, over."

"Command to 'Hammer of Justice', proceed to marked coordinates over Mystic Jungle. Condition Red. Field Team Dark has located and engaged Priority Target. Provide emergency combat support and prevent Priority Target from escaping. Over."

"'Hammer of Justice' acknowledges, Command. Battleship mobile, all hands moving to combat stations. Proceeding to marked coordinates immediately. Over and out."

The chatter would begin to light up as units across the area were mobilizing, but this much was clear. Something big was going down. Those versed in military chatter would likely recall that a 'Condition Red' was one of their highest alerts, and there were very few threats that could bring about such a response on Mobius. All the while, the unsuspecting public was blissfully unaware that such an operation was even taking place.

Mystic Jungle was far out of the way, deep in the heart of former Eggman Empire territory. Covered in extremely dense foliage, no one with a healthy dose of common sense would find themselves that far out there. But if someone wanted to stay out of sight... there were few better places to hide.

Should have some posts out later tonight, was a bit busier than usual this week.

Planet Mobius - A Sonic Universe Open World

Hope that works better for ya @Mistress Dizzy, if she's got any kind of tech on her that can tune into G.U.N. Frequencies, it could come in handy.

And apologies for the delay, everyone. Life seems to like being hectic for me a lot right now. But... during that time, I did do something I've been wanting to do for a bit. I'm by no means a professional digital artist, but I've been working on actually drawing my characters. So...

Cream was quick to turn towards the Chaotix as they approached, giving another courteous bow. "Hello, mister Vector. Mister Espio. Hi Charmy." The rabbet greeted with a smile. "My mother and I were in town just doing a little shopping, everyone's celebrating back home too!" She'd explain.

The mongoose at her side with smile. "Yeah, it's great to see people all coming out and having a good time." She'd state, turning to Amy as she complimented her attire. "Thanks, Honey the Cat made it. She's an absolute master at making these, I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't around for my shows... right! My name's Mina, Mina Mongoose. Nice to meet you all."

At the hedgehog's idea of a spa day, she'd shake her head. "Sounds like fun, but I can't... I'm actually in town here looking for Sonic." The music star explained, Cream nodding. "We were trying to help her, but mister Sonic can be hard to find sometimes..."

Mina would chuckle. "Some things never change... he's an old friend of mine. I've got my festival up in Metropolis, so I was hoping he might show up and say a few words. He is the one who finally beat Eggman after all. Any chance you guys have seen him around?"

[Music Festival - Metropolis] @Mistress Dizzy

As the festivities continued to ramp up, a massive shadow would begin to loom over the crowds. Many onlookers turned their gazes to the sky as a massive G.U.N. Battleship passed overhead, appearing to move from its position over the city as it headed Northwest.

This quickly caught the attention of the frustrated tour manager. "Oh now what?! We were told they were going to be keeping the skies clear, not blocking out the sun! Someone get them on the line, now!" He'd growl. It was clear this was not part of the show.

It was not often a G.U.N. Battleship would depart from its designated sector. This particular battleship was key in guarding Metropolis from potential attacks from the Eggman Empire. To those with this knowledge, it was clear something was going on. But to the average citizen, it seemed the move was barely paid any mind.

"Well, there's no use in skulking around now. Let's go see if the doctor is in."

"You boys do that, I'll update headquarters on the situation. Don't trash too many before the calvary gets here now, you'll spoil their fun."

Hmm... I might be able to whip something up next post or so.
