"Help? like someone's coming to save us?" Amy grins almost tearing up.
"Yes! a ship called sunbeam! It's coming into orbit. In Twenty-four hours. The only issue is the landing zone is like 1000 meters North." Tails ear lower at the last part and turns to look at me. I swallow nervously. Knowing full well I just getting used to the shallow waters let alone the deep ocean.
"Sonic..." Knuckles calls gentle and I flash him a smile.
"I'll be fine. Come we must get ready." I smile before turning to Amy. "Hay remember those swim lessons you promised a few years ago." I tilt my head towards her expectingly.
She giggles and smiles brightly. "Fine but the moment you start dragging me down I'm going to let you drown" Everyone giggles and Tails starts packing the bags. "We need to leave now. We don't know what could be in our way over to the landing zone."
I nod listening carefully and taking a bag from tails. Amy jumps in the water, and I follow behind her carefully. I look up to see Knuckles, Tials and Lulu jump in as well. I look toward Amy who took my hand and held it as she slowly instructed me on how to move my body. It took a few minutes before I actually started to swim, and I smiled brightly feeling achieved. Everyone but Amy swam ahead. She was looking back at me as if I was a child, but I didn't mind they didn't need to see the hero the world needed constantly. They needed their friend. Their brother that didn't smile all the time, the brother that also has struggles and heart ache. Them brother that needs to improve and not be perfect. Amy smiles at me. I know they enjoy it and feel proud when I let my walls down. I catch Lulu glancing back at me keeping an eye on me even if Amy got me. Lulu has always done that even when we were kids on the farm. I flash Lulu a smile and she gives a tired one back. i know she hasn't been sleeping. She is keeping something from us I just don't know what. She'll tell us in time.
I watch as the creature swim around us and laugh. I swim up for air with knuckles. Tails and Amy poking around the walls the cavern around us. Lulu picking up flora and fauna. We enter a keep zone and we all swim on our belly's close together and close to the ground. We pause every few minutes when we see a stalker swim above us. And me and tails hold back a giggle as Knuckles mimics one mockingly.
We only stop when we meet a huge rack leading out the water. We swim up and I smile. Land. actual Land. "Oh chaos." Amy whispers.
"Quick this much be the landing zone lets hop on it." Tails said as if the Island could disappear any second.
My heart pounds. Land. I never want back in the water again. Ever. We smile and crawl onto the shore. I shake out my quills and felt warm under the blazing sun. I wanted to cry. How long has it been since we've seen land or any dry surface other than the inside of the life pods. Amy runs over and hugs one of the trees laughing, Tails scanning the new surroundings. Lulu sitting down she almost looked sick I frowned before turning to knuckles who was laying down in the sad face to the ground. I smile at the sight. "I think I'll stay here in the landing zone guy." Lulu comments. "Go explore. I know you want to."
I grin but I'm sure my eyes portrayed my worry as Lulu gave me a reassuring nod. Tails cheers grabbing my hand and pulling me towards a cave. Amy and Knuckles jogging to catch up with us.
As we enter a crab thing came at us and before we can blink Amy had smashed it with her hammer. Knuckles laughed and kicked it out the way. What is it with evil crabs. Eggman's crabs and now alien crabs. Next thing you, we'll be crabs. I giggle at my thoughts. As we walked deeper into the cave gasping at the lagoon inside. Amy smiles and walks in only to find out it's just a drop off. She squeaks and disappears in the dark water before coming out and shivering curling up. "That was unnecessarily cold." We all laugh smiling at each other like foals.
We walk back out and Tails takes the lead. 7 hours left. Tails rounds a corner and gasps. I hurry over thinking somethings wrong only to see a huge structure looming over us.
