Knuckles silently observed, shaking some water off his fur. When they were well away from the island, he looked at the dragoness. "I never got your name," he said simply.

Eclipse looked around the reptile yard and saw several of he moniters sunning as well. Good they are not fighting she made sure they all were well feed when she got them. She sighs and looks at the small one beside her it was a hybrid thats for sure so that would make two hybrids she now owns. The people who had it didn't want it they wanted a nile moniter not a nile moniter/caimen hybrid. How the heck those two made a hybrid she will never know but those people had not taken care off this little one and many of thier animals were in poor condition as well. Eclipse smiles maliciously well she took care of them.

Sonic looked at Tails and then at the emerald. It seemed to glow the tiniest bit brighter, and since they were on the coastline.... "Ugh, not only is it underwater, it's probably miles out, not to mention deep,"
"I promise, one day I'm going to teach you to swim," Tails said.
"Take your time," Sonic replied, starring at the surf.

Eclipse turns back to normal and brings her little hybrid in and puts him in a tub of water that had a special solution in it.Eclipse had to keep an eye on the little guy till his weight was brought up and his injurey healed. He could die if she didn't it would be hard work but Eclipse has already cleaned and bandaged the wound and well she has taken the bandage off for the healing/cleaning solution does its work. It would help hydrate him as well as he has trouble keeping hydrated he may be sick but Eclipse has a feeling the lack off wait combined with his hybridization may be the cause. Once he is fatten up it should be alot easier for him.

"SeaShell but I prefer Shell." she severed around a sharp jut of rock (an eroded island jut) sticking out of the ocean, and mumbled something that got lost in the wind. Suddenly the sky darkened around then and a ship appeared with a swarm of robots. Dr.Robotic's work for sure. "Sssssssssssssshoot." she hissed unhappily rearing to turn back to the jut standing on it with her hind legs wings tucked in closer and her tail lashed a robot away. "Do ya know how ta fight?" she questioned Knux ,and swung a heavy talon at a robot smashing its head and sending it flying back, but more kept coming.

"Why do you think I had the guts to shout a dragon?" Knuckles replied, slipping on his claws and standing up on her back (this was a difficult task; Shell was moving a lot so balance was hard to gain), slashing through a robot that got a bit too close. Clawing through another one, looking at the ship, and his shoulder twitched. "We might be in trouble, no big deal or anything, but I think, say it again I think Eggman might be looking for Chaos Emeralds too," He looked at the one he was holding. He muttered something hastily, causing the emerald to glow brightly, and looked up, eyes flashing dangerously. "Crunch time," he growled, launching himself off Shell's back and onto a robot.

"Huh, that's weird," Sonic said
"What is?" Tails asked
"Haven't moved an inch and the signal's gone,"
"Really?"
"See for yourself,"
Tails looked, and the chaos emerald was dimly pulsing, what it did when it wasn't distributing power or picking up chaos energy.

Shell spread her wings wide clouting robots and putting more force in her talon blows. She raked her claws against one, clouted the another into the ocean, and smashed another one's head with her tail. She reaed up farther onto the jut biting and clawing she lifted into the air tackling and spraying boiling hot water at robots.

The echidna landed back on Shell's back, smiling slyly. He carelessly clawed through another machine. "Just a few more, then I say we make a run for it. Don't like the looks of that airship, plus he'll have the advantage since it's getting dark,"

Shell nodded slashing a robot open and ripping the cords, she threw it into another and created robot dominoes. She spread her wings launching up up up into the clouds. She muttered. "Thank god I can see in the dark, due to being a sea dragon."
