Sonic Apocalypse

Chapter 34 - Mystic Jungle Raid

The first course of action for Amy, Knuckles and the Babylon Rogue's were set, destroying the robot factory in the Mystic Jungle became the group's number one priority in reclaiming their freedom and overthrowing the Empire's rule over their planet. One small victory such as this, no matter how miniscule it may seem in the grand scheme of things, will prove to Eggman that the Alliance isn't going away quietly. Not only that, but the production of Eggman's robots will be cut down significantly. However, the Alliance is still totally unaware of Infinite's cloning capabilities.

"The Mystic Jungle is pretty far from here, is it not?" asked Jet as him and the others were gathering the supplies necessary for their raid.

"Quite." responded Knuckles.

"Ugh." groaned Jet in response. "It's not gonna be days is it? I mean it's not like we have our extreme gear or anything that'll help us get there faster."

"Oh hush Jet." said Amy. "Knuckles and I walked all the way here, which took several days mind you, and you don't see us complaining. Although, it would be nice if we had some form of transportation that was fast but discreet at the same time. Wait a minute...all of you can glide, except for silly old me of course. Can't we do that?"

"Sure! And since you can't fly yourself, I could carry you." said Storm.

"Don't get any ideas." said Amy, giving Storm a squinted look. "But yeah, that sounds like a decent enough idea I suppose. Just remember to stick to the shadows and I think we should be alright. Anyway, enough pondering, let's get out there already."

The five then gathered their materials and prepared to head out but before they could, an unfamiliar voice called out to them.

"Wait, stop!" said one of the Alliance soldiers who was hiding alongside the Rogue's.

"Yes? What do you want? Better be important." sighed Jet.

"Me and my crew were thinking we could head into the city while you five take care of the factory over in the jungle. This will create a diversion that'll distract not only the folks ruling this city, but it would distract Eggman himself too. If he notices one of his major cities under attack, it will undoubtedly catch his attention, allowing you guys to slip into his factory and destroy it. Or, you could come up with another plan I guess."

"Hm, that sounds like a rather useful strategy." said Jet. "I'm impressed, what is your name?"

"General Lynx, sir." he responded. "And I'm willing to take this sacrifice if it means we get one step closer to liberating our beautiful planet."

"Spoken like a true gentleman!" said Jet gleefully. "Well in that case, good luck."

"I wish you all the same." said General Lynx, patting Jet on the shoulder. "And may we all be victorious."

"Indeed." nodded Knuckles. "Alright, enough wasting time, the world ain't gonna save itself after all."

"By the way, you might wanna take these." said General Lynx as he handed Jet some C4-like bombs. "And I would like to request Emerl's assistance as well."

"Very well. You can use him." said Jet. "Anyway, you heard the hot headed Echidna, let's get a move on."

And with that, Lynx's squad, comprised of a small handful of his strongest troops and Emerl, quietly made their way into the city bearing only a small amount of arms but bearing an almost inconceivable amount of determination. Him and his army never let the odds threaten or intimidate them, they always pushed through and never gave up, leading to many epic victories throughout his time as a General and a soldier.
