— Nicky wasn't usually the one to keep calm during a stressful situation like this, so when the blue hedgehog gave him a reassuring thumbs up, he felt they weren't totally done for (but what came next is what really threw him off.) The young hedgehog made a small noise of surprise as the other hedgehog dashed forward before the trap could crush them both. Nicky shut his eyes, hoping that all the crazy zipping and zooming Sonic was doing could be over. After the movement stopped with a hard landing, the boy slowly opened his eyes, hoping they were safe and not...dead.
— A moment later, Nicky placed his feet, tidying himself up and readjusting his frames as he faced the other.
Nicky expressed his gratitude meekly. It felt weird to be saved by a guy you've never met until now. The young hedgehog scanned their surroundings, trying any potential ways out. But all he saw were spikes, pits, and a bunch of other death traps. Oh goodie.... He turned his head back to Sonic, apprehension flooding his eyes. "So, where do we go now?"
