The Lost Planet

Meanwhile, Chris woke up in the infirmary alone. Up on the bridge, Tails was holding an unconscious Cosmo, and Amy, Knuckles, Cream, and Cheese were there too. Chris joined them and saw they were now in the atmosphere of a dead planet.

"Where are we?"

In the Dead planet Rouge pounded the console of her ship.

"Come on! Start! ... Ugh, guess we're stuck here." she said.

Her ship was trapped in the brambles of the planet. Shadow stood atop one of them, looking at the Blue Typhoon in the distance.

"Haven't you given up yet?" she asked.

"I don't give up that easily. She hasn't seen the last of me."

"What is this place, anyway?" she said and walked around.

Chris was in the Blue Typhoon infirmary watching as Tails operated on Cosmo in a confined space. A laser passed over her. Knuckles was also in the room.

"Hey Tails, you wanna get some sleep.

"I don't have time to sleep. Not until I find out the truth about Cosmo."

Meanwhile Sonic walked out on the runway when Amy called after him.

"Where do you think you're going, Sonic? You need your rest!"

"Don't worry, Amy. I'm okay." he said and leapt off the Typhoon.

"Hey! ... I've got to follow him!" she said and ran inside and climbed into her spaceship, only to see Rouge inside.

"Hiya." Rouge said.

"Not you!" Amy said as Rouge beamed.

In the Infirmiry.

"There's no communication device anywhere. I told you so!" Tails said.

"Hang on a minute..." Chris said and noticed an electrical signal in Cosmo's brain." Chris said and Tails' eyes shimmered in fear.

"Huh?!" he said.

"You got something?" Knuckles said.

"There's some kind of signal emanating from Cosmo's brain. It's so microscopic normal radar wouldn't pick up on it." Cosmo said.

"So Cosmo really has been beaming information to the Metarex. Can we stop it?" he said.

"I'm not so sure. If we do, she'll never be the same." Chris said. "Whatever it is, it's attached to the part of Cosmo's brain that controls her sight and hearing. If we remove it, she may never see or hear again!" he said and Knuckles punched the wall in his stress and anger.

"That's a chance we'll have to take!" he said.

"How can you say something like that?! I'm not letting anyone hurt Cosmo!" Tails finally said.

"No one wants to hurt her! We just want to set her free. And if she has to lose her eyes and ears, then so be it!"

"There has to be another way!" Tails shouted out.

"We're on the same team, you guys!" Chris said.

"I'm not the bad guy here. I just want what's best for all of us." Knuckles said.

"Okay. We've just gotta think this through calmly. I know this isn't easy for you, Tails, and I wish we had another choice, but we don't."

"Either we do this, or we sacrifice ourselves to the will of Dark Oak." Knuckles said and Cosmo quietly cried.
