Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What the - Ack!" Sickle shouted rolling out of the way as his eyes detract the energy from her arm. Jumping out of the way by sudden reflex, he barely dodge, some of his fur becoming singed, and his tail nearly wiped from his bdy if it wasn't for an instictual flick to save it. Rolling to his feet, he pointed to the girl, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" He shouted angrily.

Super looked up from the survivors. He had been helping some of the injured with the doctor, and he was releaved to See Sickle, albeit a little singed. Trotting up, he patted Fiora on the shoulder. "Watch out there, next time. I'm glad your protecting but don't shoot friends, kay?" He said casually as Sickle stood there huffing at the prosect he nearly was burned alive by friendlies. But the fact Super appeared calmed him a little. "Hey Sic. Glad you made it to the rendezvous before we set out." He said, not relating his little adventure.

Sickle took a deep breath, before relaying a bit of information. He pulled the unconscious girl from over his shoulder and laid her sioftly on the ground. "Found her in some caves. She got hit pretty bad on mistake from a red echidna names Knuckles. Sound familiar? Thought as much, you know a lot, Super. Look, I know we got a doctor here, she needs attention now." He explained. Super looked over her. She had a large bruise ovr her abdomen.

"Knuckles, huh? Yeah, I heard he was in league with Sonic when the Blue Hero was still alive. Thought the old bag died yers ago, protecting the Emerald. But... since we're still floating, I had always guessed." He said, moving his hand along the girls stomach. He called over the doctor and he immediately got to work. Standing straight, Super addressed Sickle further. "Well, It's a good thing we made it out today. Pretty hectic for a first mission. I suppose all that's left to do is find a way to get off this hunk of rock." He explained.

Sickle smiled. "No problem. I met up with some Fox, here, I got a note..." He said, pulling out the paper he had picked up from the floorof the ship, handing it to Super. "Three Rivers. That's where we go." He explained. Super was reading the front when Sickle Noticed the writing on the back. His eyes picked up on the writing and he pointed it out to Super, who flipped it over to read it himself.

"Hmm... Your Fox friend is named Gear, I guess, according to this. An Airship? You didn't say anything about that." Super said, surprised.

"Well... It's sorta busted because the guy got overzealous with it. It needs some repairing, but we could move everyone there while we all make repairs. I'm sure Gear is gonna need some help." He explained quickly.

"Nice recap, I'll go tell the others," Super informed, turning to the group of sixteen sans Fiora. "We're moving out everyone. There's a slightly busted airship over thataways," Super pointed in the direction Sickle came, "Sickle here will lead you there, you remember him from earlier today. I'll be the rear guard. Fiora, can you move the unconscious girl there. Hold her steady, she's in bad shape, it seems." The doctor nodded, confirming her bad shape. "Yeah." Super said, confirming it himself.

Sickle had already departed and the remnents of the group started down the path, and Super waited for Fiora. "Thataway. You best get within the middle of the Group Fiora, I'll take rear Guard, Sickle's got front. I told the doctor to stick with you in case of emergency." He said, pointing towards the crowd of people who started to disappear into the forest. Starting to walk, he found himself and Firoa in the back anyway, walking side by side, chatting casually. "So what brought you to the island in the first place? Or were you always here?"

"Hm? Sure." Super said, surprised at her question. Dispelling the sword into another plane of existance, he reached and took the girl gently from Fiora's hands. "I don't think we'll run into trouble out here in the forest. Sickle's got a nose for this kind of thing, he would of warned us or something." He explained. He looked at her arm a moment before asking her. "I suppose you don't know anything about your parents. Many of us don't, most of them died in the all out war years back when the three evils came to power."

They has actually reached the airship by now. As he was helping people up, he handed the girl to the doctor as Sickle and some others went to find 'Gear' so they could help. The airship didn't look too bad, and it could be airborne within hours if they worked right away, quicker if someone knew what they were doing. He listened to the rest of Fiora's story as he helped the last of them in. "Well, nuts to them for doing that to you. No offense to your parents, but people like that are weak. When you can't accept someone for what they are, instead of trying to accept them for who they are, you're weak." He said, not looking at her a moment. As he lifted the last one up, thanks to Sickle's ingenuity on having a way to get up, he finally turned to her. "In the words of an old acquaintance, 'I'm just a guy who loves adventure'."

"Yo, Super, get to the ship." Sickle called out. Turning around, he heard Gear mutter something about the screen being odd. "What's odd?" He asked.

Super hopped in after Fiora, looking around. "Not exactly luxury, but since Sickle said they basically crashed, I didn't expect a five star hotel." He said plainly. He had decided that he would not pressure Fiora more about the arm or her family, although he had further questions, they would have to wait until they arrived at this 'Three River' or whatever the flyer said.

"Hmm... Go take her, will you? Sickle is waving me over." Super said quickly as he walked over to the wolf and the other animal. "Gear, right? What's up?" He asked. He checked the screen himself, watching the blips on radar. "Uh... I think. We are basically what can be called Eggman's Floating Island, there is a solid chance they saw you on radar. By any means, we need to get out of here." Super said nonchalantly. Inside, he was frozen with fear. He couldn't get the people out of this himself, and he couldn't exactly lead that many red blips away...

Sickle, Grab a turret while I go around and see if anyone has any combat experience manning guns." The hedgehog said as he sped off to the others, right past Fiora. As he did that, Sickle ran by Fiora to the furthest Turret and said quickly. "Eggman's fleet. Get her to safety, NOW!" He said as he grabbed the unto the turret and swung himself into the seat. "Alright, lets see what this thing can do..."
