STRANDED [ON HOLD]

Recruitment

Sonic races past a couple of hills until he finds a large mountain with building on the top of it. There are jewels surrounding the house near the roof, probably stolen, in all colors of the rainbow. Sapphire and Ruby follow the walkway from the house and onto the small stairs. Stone surrounds the outer walls of the building, and it is not much bigger than your average middle class house. White flowers are found around the walkway towards the house as well, Sonic assumes Rouge was the one who put those there.

"Bingo." He rolls his eyes as he continues to sprint his way up to the top. He knocks on the door and Blaze opens it. She motions him to come inside, not talking. Sonic raises an eyebrow and Blaze leads him over to the usual living area he is used to, but was turned into a table with a map on it. The holographic map is very intricately designed, something Tails could possibly figure out how to build, but its technology is very advanced, which makes Sonic gasp at the sight of it. It's the color of Silver's telekinesis power, and it gives every nook and cranny of the city, and gives notifications of buildings collapsing or being set on fire. "Whoa... what is this?"

Shadow barely looks up from the table at his rival and rolls his eyes. "This is a map Rouge stole from G.U.N. It's a holographic projector that connects to any table when you open it up. The map springs out and connects to any table's corners, and the bigger the table the more you get to see." Shadow explains and Sonic chooses to ignore that Rouge stole it. Rouge smirks as she remembers the faces the poor workers of G.U.N. when she flew in and out with their prized possession. Then again, this apocalypse is basically the Purge, so you take what you can get and go. Sonic looks up at the group and crosses his arms.

"Knuckles, Tails, Amy and I are all at Tails's workshop, using it as a base and we wanted to see if you all would like to join. We have some resources already, but we were going to ask if you wanted or needed to collect anything before coming to Tails's." Sonic explains and they all nod.

"I think it's a good idea. Having a big group, and everyone knows something different could make this a lot easier to survive in." Silver mentions and the three others take a minute then decide to agree.

"Alright, Blue. What should each of us grab?"

"Glad you decided to join. Shadow, grab guns and weapons, take Silver with you as well. You might need a helping hand. Blaze go find and fry some animals and bring them back to base, Amy and Vanilla can cut them up. Grab a bag, bucket or basket and hold them in there. Rouge, I can't believe I'm saying this, it's the apocalypse anyways, go find and steal whatever you think can help us. OTHER than the Master Emerald. I wish you all luck, we will all meet back at Tails's workshop when you're done. I'm going to meet up with Amy, who has Cream and her group. Remember to grab the map hologram, I will see you as soon as we can!" Sonic gives everyone a thumbs up and a wink and rushes out of the house.

"Glad to hear everyone is okay." Shadow mutters and Rouge smirks gently.

"Nice to hear that you care." Rouge laughs and Shadow rolls his eyes and their group splits up.

Amy finds Cream and Vanilla in their kitchen, packing up food to bring as rations to people around the town and local bases. She smiles and is happy to see that they are alright. Espio, Charmy and Vector are all seen in her living room, talking on the couches around the coffee table. Amy uses her spare key and opens the front door, which makes them all look up at the door.

"MISS AMY!!" Cream beams in glee and runs to her and almost takes her in a hug.

"Hi Cream!! You're getting so big you're almost taking me down with your hugs now!" Amy giggles as she walks in the door, closing it, but she almost hits someone in the face before closing it. She hesitantly looks behind her, about to pull out her hammer, and notices Sonic. She sighs a breath of relief and smiles at him. "Jeez, you almost gave me a heart attack." She groans and laughs.
