The cyan hedgehog was glad enough that his stunt was able to get the team out of that pinch, but then just as their luck was gonna get worse more robots came by. As he was preparing for their plan of attack, he felt something odd, the wind blew faster and something was coming,no..."someone". The next thing he knew he was meters away from the group, his specs were missing making his vision a bit blurry and his feet caught up in a sticky situation. There was no doubt he knew who did these pranks til Rouge's message confirmed it but...why? He usually never gets angry unless something terrible happens to his friends, but now it seems like it wasn’t that time.

The cyan hedgehog knelt down and using his own flames he tried to melt the glue off, once he was done his used his flames to propel him back towards the group. Despite his handicapped situation, he used his ability to maneuver his way back to the others and track the intruder. As soon as he arrived back he lashed out another wall of flames, encircling the blue blur hoping to cut his tracks off. “Don’t take this as a friendly fire, blue!”

After the incident, the hedgehog spent most of his time on patrol. The fall of the city weighed down heavily on him, to the point where he didn't eat nor sleep even if one of his superiors told him to. The hopeless looks on the refuges shooked him, making him more anxious about not saving the lives they all lost, even with his power he just felt so defeated. However upon hearing the broadcast, perhaps there is still hope for fixing this outcome of course he wasn't doing this alone and needed help too, but not in his current condition. He took some time to reflect on what happened and a quick power nap later he was ready to set off to Lushvale Village as fast as he can, keeping out a sharp eye for Metal Sonic, Infinite or even Robotnik.

A flash of golden light appeared behind, were they too late? Did Robotnik wipe them out...looking back he feared the worst but then saw everything moving slowly, its as if time stopped for everyone except them. Once again saved by Shadow, he bought them enough time to escape or so he thought when he saw Infinite break through. The clock was ticking and there was no time to fight back, as he readied focusing on the task at hand, cube-like pillars sporadically began to rise up. This would pose an obstacle being on-air, sure enough, he's confident to get through, he had to. He waited for a moment for the path to be clear, once it did he would themselves forward. "Hold on back there, this is gonna be a rough ride!" he yelled at James as they blast off.  A few twists and narrow turns, Soul had to make sure James was still behind him as they approach the outskirts. Fearing that he might not have enough energy to get back to them, he focused head-on leaving the groundwork to Sonic and the rest.

The number of injured members kept on piling up and the chances of fighting back are getting slimmer and slimmer, it wasn’t until he picked up another hedgehog who ran like Sonic...it was Shadow the hedgehog. He watched him teleporting in every direction, tearing Robotnik’s forces in a snap, perhaps this would buy enough time for everyone to be evacuated, suddenly something was obstructing the sky. It was Robotnik’s battleships but wait where are they heading to...it didn’t take long for the hedgehog to turn back jet propelling himself to where he evacuated the citizens. Unfortunately, his speed was not enough to reach them, the blast from the attack managed to knock him back a little bit, but that was all it did to him, otherwise, he would have been blown to smithereens, considering he was airborne at that time.


By the time he reached his destination, there stood a large crater and piles of burnt corpses,  not a single soul spared. “I’m sorry…” he muttered for the deceased mobians. His blood boiled in fury, after such a tragedy. He rushed towards the battlefield to take those ships down. The sound of a shockwave caught his attention, up from the sky he sensed two individuals...upon closer look he saw Amy and Sonya heading for the ship. A bold move he might say but how are they gonna handle the gunfire during mid-flight? He jet-propelled himself towards the aircraft circling around, firing a concentrated blast of his own flames towards their cannons. Hopefully, this would draw their attention away from the two figures long enough for them to get on one of them or possibly even damage one of their arsenals so they could not do any more harm.

I would like to take part in this arc for the sake of Acorn Kingdom!
Fight fire with fire

In another section of the ruins was the cyan hedgehog Soul, taking a leisurely stroll. A break from the city's atmosphere was what he needed and truly he felt at ease as he continued his stroll. It was then he sensed that he wasn't alone, following this aura it lead to a nearby lake. Upon looking he saw another person meditating beyond the distance, this person's aura was quite remarkable. However, thinking about it now, it would probably be weird if he was just standing there and it might be rude if he would disturb her meditation. He might as well go for the latter and leave himself out of it. As he turned around, a quick step on a branch snapped giving away his spot. "Whoops..." he muttered hoping the gal did not hear him, as he hid behind the bushes.

The cyan hedgehog watched the others keeping the orbs at bay, the sudden tremor caused the Orbian to shatter which caused a bit of damage to Caroline herself. Perhaps his idea of stopping him backfired a bit, but then he noticed the odd liquid from before showing another memory too them. He couldn't describe another word as he watched the memory played out, now back to reality they had to deal with the remaining orbs. If the plan was to immobilize them he engulfed his hands with his flames in an attempt to do so, but he was cut off when Doubles told them to do so and just talk. Was he sure about this plan? He lowered his hands, extinguishing his flames watching the scene played out as they tried to talk it out.

By this time the hedgehog was trying to fend off the incoming attack with his own flames, he wasn't expecting it would work but eventually it did, or maybe perhaps he might have overdone it upon watching the overwhelming damage they have done, which caused the orb to burst in flames. Watching it shot out like that in the sky with the from the tiger's punch was like a scene of fireworks only it did not explode into bits and just simmered to ashes, that was what they wanted right? This was considered a victory for now, with one orb down, however, something felt off...there was no memory showing after they killed it...curious...could he have burned the liquid inside it too much?

He took a look at his singed arm, it still stings and looks like gonna leave a mark for a while. Looking at the other team it would seem they were fending off as well until it countered back, dealing some damage to the crew. He rushed to help but with Robin pinning it down it would seem they managed to handle it, however, this Orbian wasn't dead yet. He took a glance at the moment "Uh Robin I thought you said that these were memories...how come nothing is showing up" he'd ask the dog however it would seem he was pre-occupied at the moment scolding the blue hedgehog for his actions. He let out a sigh taking a breath for a moment before turning his attention to the orb...it wasn't dead yet but that doesn't mean it's a threat either. In an attempt to pin it down he approached to it along with Sakura but as soon as the wolf behind them yelled and shot a wave of ice, he moved out of the way launching his projectile attack towards it as a finisher, just as he was told to do so...hopefully it would show them a memory perhaps?...maybe...
