Description
“Your sense of self-preservation is TRULY embarrassing, rodent.” said Eggman in disappointment at Sonic lack of self-preservation for himself as he let go and drop Sonic on another hunk of concrete near him.
“HOW RIGHT YOU ARE, DOCTOR.” thought Nitro Akira dryly in his mind at Sonic as he kept on struggling against Amara’s chains.
“The Dynamo Cage is going to overload anytime now, with how she’s using it. Keep her busy and don’t lose before I’ve got Metal fixed.” said Eggman as he turned and left to fix Metal Sonic up while Sonic swiftly pull his legs back to avoid being slash by pink energy circular saw blades that Surge threw at him.
“Just us now………” said Surge as her body change colour from orange to a mixture of pink and green.
“Look, Surge……… I think we maybe got off on the wrong FOOT.” said Sonic calmly to Surge.
“IS HE SERIOUSLY TRYING TO TALK TO HER IN THE HOPES THAT SHE’LL CHANGE HER MIND AND STOP ATTACKING HIM? JUST HOW DEEP IS HIS DAMN FOOLISHNESS AND NAIVETY!?” thought Nitro Akira in disbelief in his mind at Sonic’s foolish naivety.
“You know what? YOU’RE RIGHT! My foot should be on your damn THROAT!” snap Surge coldly at Sonic as her eyes started glowing cyan blue in colour.

With Natsumi and Emily……….
“Gah!” said Emily with a pained look on her face due to Natsumi grabbing hold and kicking her hard on her stomach before Natsumi let go and drop her to the floor.
“Stay down if you’ve any sense of self-preservation for yourself.” said Natsumi sternly and warningly to Emily.
“Humph.” said Emily as she glared at Natsumi but listen to her words and stay down.
“Good. Wise choice.” said Natsumi with a nod of her head before Natsumi grab and drag Emily back to the room where Akira and the others are.
XXXX
With Tails and Kit………
“I read through Doctor Starline’s notes about the four of you. I’M SORRY. But it doesn’t justify any of this! Surge and Amara are HURTING people! And now Surge is hurting HERSELF! I think you know that’s not okay!” said Tails apologetically and calmly to Kit, which managed to calm him down and he stop using the water tentacles to attack him.
“………Thank you. Sonic and Akira’ll fix this. I’m sure of it.” said Tails gratefully then reassuringly to Kit.
XXXX
Back with Sonic, Surge, Akira, Nitro Akira and Amara………
“What happened to the four of you is SERIOUSLY heinous. I get that now.” said Sonic to Surge as he run all over the room to avoid the pink-coloured circular saw blades that Surge threw at him.
“You think saying that to us makes it better? That we’ll be FRIENDS?” said Surge coldly at Sonic.
“Most of my buddies have tried to beat the stuffing out of me. TODAY Knuckles’s sandwiches are tomorrow’s bro fists!” said Sonic as he swiftly picked up and use a large piece of broken glass to protect himself from Surge constant pink-coloured circular saw blades attacks at him.
“I don’t want your pity or your friendship……… I want you GONE!” said Surge as she curled into her ball form, start spinning toward Sonic only for him to dodge aside and Surge hit the wall instead of him before she uncurled herself and create, used and throw dozens of blue-coloured square-shaped energy blocks at Sonic.
XXXX
“Alright, I had ENOUGH of this!” snap Akira as his eyes started to turn black and red before he summon out and used his chains to grab and break apart Amara’s chains on him and freed himself.
“What the-” said Amara with surprise/disbelief looks on her face at Akira breaking her chains off him.
“OH BOY, YOU’VE OFFICIALLY PISSED HIM OFF. I SUGGEST YOU START RUNNING NOW.” said Nitro Akira warningly to Amara.
“Why should I run from him? He’s……….” scoffed Amara before she fell silent and started choking due to Akira running and stopping in front of her before he grab hold of her neck and lifted her up into the air.
“Nitro Akira’s right. You should have listen to him and you do not want to mess with me when I’m this pissed off, wench.” said Akira coldly to Amara (which make her gulp and turned pale in worry/fear of him now).
“I TOLD YOU SO.” sighed Nitro Akira as he slowly shake his head at Amara.
XXXX
“But WHY? Starline’s not here to make you and your friends do anything! Freedom is RIGHT OUT THERE, waiting for you all. JUST TAKE IT!” said Sonic as he jump from one blue-coloured square-shaped energy blocks to another.
“……… I can’t and neither do my friends.” said Surge emotionlessly to Sonic before she cancel the blue-coloured square-shaped energy blocks that surround Sonic, which caused him to lose his footing before he started falling down to the water puddle below.
“SONIC!” yell Tails as he (Akira and Natsumi) watched Sonic fall down to the water puddle below and Tails flew down to try to grab hold of Sonic but he’s a bit too late as Sonic landed in the puddle of water and Sonic start screaming and twitching in pain and agony due to Surge electrocuting the water puddle with him in it. “NO!” yell Tails again as he try to reach for Sonic only for Natsumi to grab hold and pull him away from Surge and Sonic.
“What’re you doing!? Let me go!” said Tails as he struggle to break free of Natsumi’s arms.
“I can’t! She’ll electrocute you too if you went to get him, Tails!” said Natsumi as she shake her head and refused to let Tails out of her arms.
“You don’t GET it! I was built to live on your shadow. It’s in my blood, my bones, my BRAIN. Same goes for my friends too. There’s no freedom for us……… NOT WHILE YOU, AKIRA, TAILS AND LUX ARE STILL ALIVE!” snap Surge angrily at Sonic as she charge toward, grab hold and start strangling Sonic while still electrocuting him with her electricity, which make the Dynamo Cage device on her to finally overload and break apart, freeing Whisper’s Wisps trapped inside and make Surge immediately felt beyond exhausted from using her power too much on Sonic before she passed out and fell into the puddle of water next to Sonic, who didn’t move before he start gasping, coughing and catching his breath before he sat up from the water puddle and glance warily at an unconscious Surge while Whisper’s Wisps hug and cling close to Sonic for comfort and reassurance.
“Oh, thank Chaos that Sonic’s alright after what she did to him………” thought Natsumi in relief in her mind at seeing Sonic’s fine and alive.
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh………” said Tails with a pale look on his face as he get himself out of Natsumi's arms, flew down toward Sonic and help lift him up to his feet.
“Guhhh, I take it back, this puddle’s GNARLY.” said Sonic jokingly and tiredly to Tails.
“Still make a joke after what Surge did to you, Sonic? You’re really something.” thought Akira dryly in his mind at Sonic before a cold look appear on his face when he see Eggman, Metal Sonic and Nitro Akira came back into the room.
“Finally! Nitro, go collect the Dynamo Cage and the Tenrec!” ordered Eggman to Nitro Akira.
“UNDERSTOOD, DOCTOR.” said Nitro Akira before he make his way toward the unconscious Surge.
“You CHEATER………” said Tails as he glared at Eggman.
“This wasn’t the deal, Eggman!” said Sonic as he glared at Eggman too while he grab hold and lift Surge up from the water puddle.
“Oh PLEASE, like I’d believe you and YOUR RODENT FRIENDS would hold up YOUR end of the bargain.” scoffed Eggman while Nitro Akira start charging toward Sonic, Tails and the unconscious Surge only for a water tentacle to rise up from the water puddle and hit Nitro Akira away and they see that it’s Kit who help them before he jump down and landed on the water puddle and both Amara and Emily immediately punch and kick Akira and Natsumi away from them before they also jump down and rejoin with Kit.
“Stay out of this, you bunch of RODENTS!” snap Eggman in annoyance at Kit, Amara and Emily before he let out a yelp of surprise due to Kit using his water tentacles to grab hold and restrain Eggman, Nitro Akira and Metal Sonic.
“Thanks, Kit. You’re a LIFESAVER! And you two decide to join in on helping us too?” asked Sonic to both Amara and Emily after he thanked Kit for his help.
“Huh? What gave you the idea that we’d decide to help you all from him and his 2 pet robots?” said Amara in slight disbelief at what Sonic said to them.
“I didn’t do it for you.” said Kit as he used his water tentacles to grab and restrain both Sonic and Tails too while grabbing and bringing Surge toward Amara and Emily so they can take and hold her close.
“I know what’s going on here, I’ve seen it before happening to me and to Surge, Amara and Emily. Starline, Eggman, YOU and your FRIENDS. You’re all the same. All of you don’t need us. You all WANT us. All that matters is what we can do, how you all can change us. So you all can prove that your WAY is RIGHT. Well, we don’t want or need your HELP. We’re leaving and going to where we’re needed, just us together. I’ll buried you all here……… along with our PASTS.” said Kit coldly to Sonic, Tails, Akira, Natsumi, Eggman, Metal Sonic and Nitro Akira as he summon out and used more of his water tentacles to destroy the room around them while he, Amara, Emily and the unconscious Surge went up and left the rapidly collapsing base together.
Soon after Kit destroyed the room with them in it, Sonic, Tails, Akira, Natsumi, Eggman, Metal Sonic and Nitro Akira also wasted no time in escaping the entire base before the base collapsed and buried them and all of them managed to escape from the base too before Sonic, Tails, Akira and Natsumi turned and left the place with Whisper Wisps following them while Eggman, Metal Sonic and Nitro Akira went back to their city.
