Sonic: Adventures of Areion

Episode 53: Making A Big Splash

Sonic and Tails were currently speeding along the dirt rode in search of the Chaos Emeralds, they were able to acquire four of the emeralds so far from the Special Zones as they had made use of the Special Generators in different zones to gain access to them. The duo suddenly skidded to a stop upon seeing their route obstructed by a large pile of rocks.

"There's been a rockslide here." Sonic said with a small frown.

"We may have to find another way." Tails suggested, they were just about to take a step away when suddenly a muffled voice called out to them.

"Hey...h-help me!"

Sonic turned to Tails with a look of confusion "Did you hear something?"

"Help me!"

"I heard it too, I think it's coming underneath those rocks." Tails said, they took a closer look at the rubble and were surprised to see who it is being buried "Wha-Knuckles!" they quickly dug him out with the echidna being covered in dirt:

"Man, I don't feel so good." Knuckles said:

"Knuckles, how did you wind up getting to stuck there?" Tails asked curiously.

Knuckles rubbed his head in pain and recalled something which caused him to frown at the question "It was  because of her!"

Sonic quirked an eyebrow at that "Who are you talking about?"

"The purple feline with an attitude, I didn't recognize her but she was with Cream, Wendy, and Milla when I spoke to her." Knuckles explained.

"Knuckles where did she go?" Tails inquired for information.

Knuckles' fists shook in anger as he snarled "Man, this me so angry. It makes me want to punch something!" he spun round and punched the rubbe in rage, sending the rocks flying before stomping away from the duo.

"Knuckles?" Sonic called out awkwardly.

"He's gone." Tails said with a sweatdrop.

"You know, when Knuckles is angry...it's always difficult to talk to him."

"True, but at least he cleared the road for us."

"You're right, I get the feeling that Areion and the others are making progress so let's do the same on our side."

"Roger that!"

Sonic and Tails then took off at high-speed on the now unobstructed road to resume their search for the remaining Chas Emeralds.

Elsewhere in the ocean, Areion was currently running across the water with Nicole inside of the S.A.C but relating directions to him. He looked up head to see a fleet of several G.U.N naval aircraft carriers and battleships on the sea.

Areion boosted to one of the battleships before leaping into the air to land in the deck.

"Looks like we made it...hm?" Areion took not of several armed humanoid robots which Nicole identified as GUN Hunters turns to point their guns towards him "Why are they aiming at me besides the fact I'm technically trespassing?"

Nicole emerged from the S.A.C and scanned the robots before responding with a small frown "It is most likely the work of Eggman Nega, he must have overwritten the systems of their AI to listen to his commands."

"Here's hoping that breaking some of their toys won't affect to won't budget too badly." Areion said before crouching slight before charging towards the robots.
