Sonic The Hedgehog: Ten Years Later

Chapter 4: Family Ties


Part 1

The scene shows us Amy's group as they trek through the mucky swamps of the Aquatic Ruin Zone.
-----
"I don't even wanna KNOW what half this crap is."
Rouge made a face of disgust as the group walked past the remnants of some unidentifiable creature that used to inhabit the once beautiful Zone.
"Finally, something we agree on."
Amy found herself struggling to keep her composure. She was hot, surrounded by a dense jungle of vines and filth, and she was growing increasingly concerned that Sonic and Tails hadn't caught up with them yet.
"Miss Rose?"
Amy turned to Espio, who had been exceptionally silent the whole night.
"Vector's starting to get too fidgety for Big to carry anymore. I think he wants to get into the water."
The violet chameleon turned towards the pink hedgehog, awaiting permission to let Vector loose from his bindings. Amy sighed, wishing Sonic were still around to give orders in her place.
"Alright, Espio. But you're responsible for making sure he doesn't stray off too far."
The blind ninjas face lit up, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.
"Thank you, Miss Rose."
Espio backflipped through the air, landing at the rear of the group. Amy watched from up ahead as Espio used a throwing knife to let his old friend free. As Vector gleefully sped off into the muck-filled swamps, Espio following close behind, Amy thought back years ago when she had learned of Vector's mental instability.
-----
We are shown a flashback of the same old hideout of Robotnik's, where Sonics group hid after the attack 10 years ago.
-----
Amy stepped out of Vector's chamber, a still-bandaged Espio anxiously awaiting the results of the session.
"Is he alright?"
Amy heaved a sigh, her face hiding how tired she truly felt.
"Physically, he's fine. His body is unnaturally tough. Mentally, though..."
The pink hedgehog's voice trailed off, afraid of telling Vector's oldest living friend what she had discovered. Espio's hands clenched into fists, his body tensed.
"Please.. Miss Rose."
Trembling with sadness and utter exhaustion, Amy lifted her head slightly.
"He's.. not all there anymore. His mental state is dangerously unstable. Espio... Vector's lost all but a shred of his sanity."
Part 1 of Chapter 4 of STH-TYL!
This chapter takes us back into the past again, giving a little backstory on the two remaining Chaotix members in the group of survivors.
