Sonic grimaced as she ripped that grate off the sewer, and was reminded that she was juts physically stronger then he was. She was kind of scary if he was honest but, he didn't let his brain linger to long on the fact she could rip him in half if she wanted to. He was way more concerned with the icky water! Not that the ick bothered him as much as the PTSD he had of being trapped under water in one of eggman's freaking sewers! At least there wouldn't be any Piranha bots! please no piranha bots!

" Nope doesn't ring a--- Hold on... i remember Amy telling me about some greasy rat man... don't think we've had the pleasure of talking in person..."

He opted not to mention the whole avalanche or Starlines involvement. better not to open old wounds he figured but grimaced at the pipe.

" hey, I've been trapped under water in enough sewers to know its never just a little water! Besides i don't exactly float ya know... i sink like a rock. Everyone teases me about not being able to swim! less not being able to swim and more a lack of floatyness! "

He jumped up into the pipe behind her barely even noting the shuttle as his brain was elsewhere. He grunted at the traps, at least she could disable them but man this was a pain! and way to slow! He could vibrate himself through them probably but, that was pretty exhausting and he had no idea if Mimic had planned for something like that. It wasn't a common ability--- but still this was a pain and he hated going slow!

" Finally something we can agree on--- well we could try something... might be risky and a bit exhausting. But would get us there faster... You ever tried vibrating yourself at a high frequency? "

Sonic held his hand out to the wall and vibrated his cells at a high speed allowing him to pass right through it like he wasn't even there. Another trick that Starline was probably just not aware of--- but if he could do it he was certain she could.

" It's handy for escaping being crushed, but maintaining it long term is like running a marathon... but i can do it, so can shadow and i'm betting you can to. Just takes a little practice... and focus... "

He just hoped she wouldn't get annoyed that he was teaching her things that maybe never occurred to her. Things starline couldn't imagine she could do---there was alot he could show her given time and her willingness to learn.

================================================

She had to smile a little impressed with Kit's resourcefulness. Freezing the tech like that seemed to short out it's circuits, and disable it quickly. This would allow them to progress much faster, and because of he echo location she could easily find all his little tricks! This was perfect, by working together the two of them could easily circumvent his hurdle and rescue Tangle! That was so important to her right now---despite how annoying she could be. Tangle was like the heart of the team... and more then that she was such a good friend! she didn't want to let her down!

" Right... then i'll be your eyes, and together we'll reach Mimic in half the time he's expecting..."

She flicked her bell every few seconds to keep the sound bouncing down the hall. By using her echo location she could see what no one else could. All the laser beams, all the little bombs, and every tunnel and byway. She wasn't going to fail Tangle, just like she saved her from that trap! Lanolin was going to save her and when she got her hands on Mimic--- she'd rip that beak off his face and keep it as a trophy!

=============================================

The Lemur continued to impress him. Most people in her situation would have already fallen victim to the toxin. But she was a fighter, it did make things more interesting as she sure did like to run her mouth. But the more she struggled, the more she tried to move the deeper the toxin would run in her veins. It might not be lethal in the dose he used, but that didn't make it all all pleasant. She was a problem he intended to remove from the equation entirely!

" You think this is about her? "

He scowled at the Lemur shifting his knife and hammed it directly against her rib intending to break it! a reminder that the toxin didn't dull any pain or injuries.

" ... this was always about you... because of you i got locked up in a max security cell. I have wanted nothing more then to make you suffer... so i came up with this plan. One to kill you, whisper and everyone else who was dumb enough to follow me..."

He sneered and whispered into Tangle's ear with a soft tone, so calm and filled with delight as everything was just how he wanted it.

" Tell me... why would i trap myself in a box? "

Whisper gitted her teeth as her ears twitched! She just needed a clean shot, but he was purposely using Tangle' to shield himself. She was so worried she'd hit her. Her care for Tangle prevented her from risking the shot. If it was anyone else she might go for it, but not here, not her and he knew that because he knew her so well. Yet her eyes shifted to the duffle that disappeared and realized someone else was down here trying to save Tangle. It's when she devise a plan if she could just get them to understand her intention.

Whisper reached into her jacket and flicked a strap dropping her crystals onto the floor behind her within her shadow. She knew so much about wisps she knew what was going on easily enough. All they had to do was plop a crystal behind Mimic just outside his field of vision---she could finally end this! She knew Cyan was one of the few wisps who was just fine with removing Mimic.

The young Feline winced at Rowan as he slunk down against the wall. his eyes closing as he didn't have the energy to stay awake. Yet mumbled about the trap a few more times. He hoped, and prayed that someone killed that bastard, for all the pain he caused him nothing would make him happier. he'd done all he could yet, he knew it might be to late. His eyes closed and he didn't know if he was embracing death or not--- but he knew that they didn't have any more time left...

As for the bag all that was inside were some flash grenades, some ammunition, and a strange looking glove with gold finger tips. Seemed Mimic didn't notice yet but at least his arsenal was out of the way.

" Time's up... "

A buzzer went off from his computer and mimic only smiled as the flood gates began to roll to the side. and the large doors marking the exit to the sewers rolled closed. Sealing everyone inside, and Mimic's plan coming together as a wave of water came crashing down from behind Sonic and Surge and Lanolin and kitsunami. before rushing into the room from two sides.

This was always his plan---drown them all, he could kill all his enemies at once!

" You know the best part Lemur? watching that panic set in your eyes as you slowly drown..."

"The guy behind this is named Clutch, who you've had a run it from what he's told me. As for where he is, well, I said I fucked up royally. He's in the Grand Prix airship which is armed to the teeth with weapons. If Miles is flying here then you may want to warn him they'll try to shoot him down." Not like anyone was on the ship who could cause enough of a distraction to delay them from shooting anything that flies too close. It didn't help it was right over the base making her think Clutch planned this.

Surge then ripped off the entrance to the sewer, tossing it far into the distance. "Never wanted to share that with me, though he was only starting to build up on rings so wouldn't be too surprised if half of it was to raise money." The tenrec would deal with him later, though took noticed to a shuttle suddenly flying right up too it.

"What the fuck? Did he have ANOTHER spy? You know what, I don't care right now. We'll deal with that later." Surge began walking into the sewer. "It's a fucking sewer Sonic. The water ain't that deep, well, not until you get to where it all drains. Besides, some dirty shoes is a small price to pay to get the jump on Mimic." The tenrec then stopped, holding out her hand to stop Sonic as well. "There's tech on the walls, I can sense the electricity in it." The speedster flicked some lightning out, watching it bounce to anything tech and fry it. Small lines of smoke filling the tunnel. "Not sure if there's more. Guess we'll have to take it slow, ugh."

==========================================================

"No need for that. Let's say Mimic might regret choosing the sewer to hide in." Kitsunami did make mist, though would have it freeze around all the various traps and tripwires thus breaking them. "I don't have an eye sharp enough to spot them so just tell me when we're coming up on some traps." The fennec had been training hard to better use he's powers, and his knowledge help to find the easiest path to break all the traps.

"Though I'm worried Mimic might have a remote detonator. I'm sure if he hears up getting closer he'll just cave everything in and try take us with him." Kitsunami wasn't as good as Mimic on stealth so doubt he could sneak up on him again. Even then he still failed to get Tangle and avoid all of this.

==========================================================

Tangle grunts feeling the back of the knife jam into her side. "My Uncle is going to kick your butt when he get's his hands on you." The lemur was glad she could at least talk, though wasn't sure how much longer that would last as she continued to felt her body stiffen up. Though her attention when to seeing Whisper, though she frowns seeing the state she's in.

"Really? That's why you're doing this? She didn't even do anything to you, you did everything to her! I'm going to tail punch you in the face so hard when this is over!" Tangle wished she could move her body right now, mainly because she was sure Whisper wasn't here just to rough Mimic up and take him to jail.

Rowan was turning just to try and come up with a plan when the cat pulled his arms and told him Mimic's plan to flood everything. "Okay, first, try to buy you some more time." The lemur pulled out a shot. "Won't wake you up, though will give your body a boost to last a few more hours before I can get you help." He gave the stranger the shot before turning back.

Rowan saw Mimic walking back towards something that was casting a small shadow. Good thing it didn't matter the size as the shadow Wisp could still open a portal even with the smallest of shadows. He walked over as the Wisp appeared, still looking like a laser Wisp. "You gonna drop the disguise anytime soon?" The lemur got his answer by the Wisp nervously shaking it's head no before opening a small portal.

Rowan stuck his hand through and grabbed the bag, pulling it in as the shadow closed once more. "What was he going after?" The lemur opened and began digging around hoping to find a remote trigger to whatever trap Mimic had. It'll give him a chance to rewire it and use it to stop the trap.
