Knuckles, this isn't the time to be sitting down relaxing." A fuming Amy Rose was directing her anger at the lazy echidna who just laying his back down against a tree with his legs crossed without a care in the world and looked completely oblivious to the danger that his friends could be at that very moment. Mostly due to the fact that those animals still haven't left him alone as they were still surrounding him, but giving him a rest by just sleeping next to him peacefully.
"Aren't you thinking of the danger that Sonic and Tails could be in!" She walking back and forth, biting her fist through her white gloves as she thought of the many horrible situations that could happen to them on the Lost Hex after all the horrible legends that Tails told her about the planet. Regardless if there actually were six deadly monsters living there, who wouldn't hesitate to kill any outsiders, the worryhog still had a right to be worried, primarily due her hero's brash behaviour that could easily get him into trouble, or worse hurt!
She was less fearful for her lover's safety since Tails was right by him and would try to make sure that he didn't do anything stupid, but at the same time no one could keep Sonic under control let alone sit still for that long.
She knew that from experience.
'I'm surprised she remembered Tails even went with Sonic.' Knuckles thought nonchalantly before trying to calm the girl down as they were still friends of course.
"I'm not worrying, because they're fine, they always are." He said sincerely as he leaned down more against the tree and tried to take a nap along with the sleeping animals. "I just want them to hurry up and save the rest of the animals, these guys could wake up any minute and bug me again."
'But what if they're not?'
Amy was on pins and needles, because Sonic was very adamant about not taking her with him as a way of protecting her. The pink hedgehog had to at least smile and blush at his concern for her safety, only taking Tails along since he was the only one who could fly the Tornado besides himself. However, she was still slightly angry at him for not taking her along considering she was just as physically able as Tails to take care of herself.
She sighed. Amy knew complaining wouldn't do her any good. The only thing she could do right now was hope to Chaos that he didn't do anything too crazy and hope that that he would come back safe and sound.
"You're right Knuckles... I'm sure I'm being silly, Sonic's fin...ee...eeee..." Amy's speech was interrupted by the rumbling of the ground. The animals and Knuckles woke up in fright as the area all of a sudden started to lose its greenery; Leaves disintegrating into nothingness and the oxygen and other gases in the air being sucked up into the dark atmosphere of space.
"Amy, what's... happen...ing, I feel like... my lungs are about... to give out..." Knuckles said slurring his words out as he passed out while the animals started to scatter due their habitat disappearing.
"Knuckles... Knuckles..." Amy yelled to try to wake him up and get him to come to as she repeatedly shook his limp body in hopes to get him to wake up and for everything to be fine.
"Okay, no more waiting, I have to call him NOW!" She quickly got out her personal Miles Electric and pressed the emergency button that would immediately contact Sonic.
The call icon appeared on the mini screen with a BEEP BEEP.
This only made Amy anxious as the suspense and time wasted not talking to hero was literally killing her. Soon enough the blue hedgehog that was hundreds miles above her was shown on the screen in near what seemed to be in a volcano.
"It's... t-too l-late for us Sonic. S-Save the w-world and kick b-butt for a-all of us." She stuttered, losing her words, feeling the oxygen not coming into her mouth and her lungs burning, but tried to continue.
"I'm s-sorry I never got to say-" The transmission was lost probably due to the broken signal. "Sonic..." Was her last word before she passed out on the bare ground.
Her eyes slowly opened to see the grass suddenly green. Her breath was back. Knuckles was coming to.
Sonic...
"I knew I shouldn't have worried."
