Jeremy didn't 't see Ashley coming down from above and was surprised beyond belief. "What the heck!!!" He yelled not being able to see anything and tries his best to move out of the way in order to see. Getting the parachutes off his head allowed Jeremy to see Ashley's face. "Are you two ok?" Jeremy turned to see Antoine near him walking him "I didn't see everything but I did hear her falling on you." Jeremy checked himself to see if there was anything missing and got up. "I seem to be okay. Don't know about her however." "Are you okay Ashley?" Antoine asked her.

"We'll hit fast and punch faster! Ain't none of them going to see us coming, be the fleet foot or flying can." Sonic brushed his nose with his thumb and winked at them all. "I mean, if your brain can handle it, lock and load, but if'll pop that mind of yours would be better thinking with Sal's. And I'll keep them bots a busslin', give them the slip, then save our damsel in distress. All in a hedgehog minute."

The chest panels of the mech open up revealing Axel who looks down at the three since the machine now stood up above them all. "Not like I use my braincells for much anyway; plus we're wasting time at this point. Brianna's been in their clutches for hours and it'll be a few more just to get into position. I want to rescue her, and soon." Mighty found himself rather, disturbed by how nonchalant the hybrid seemed with his own health and safety like it was okay to burn himself out rescuing Brianna. "So do we man, but they have a point." Mighty gestured to Sonic and Sally as he said this; his own expression carrying the same concern. "You looked like you were in pain and blood from the nose is never good when it comes to stuff linked to your brain. We might even not need this... contraption. No offense to the designer, and builder, not to mention she may not like you turning your brain to jelly just to save her." Added the Armadillo politely. Axel purses his lips, obviously torn on the matter; he looks to Sally. "Your call Princess, if you want I'll follow on foot, but me causing a ruckus with this could draw a lot of security from the prison, and if we end up in a fire fight it could be handy. Still you're the boss, your call." Gripping the control sticks, Axel lowers the machine back onto its knees, awaiting Sally's final verdict before fully shutting down; or the go to seal Barbatos up and grab what few weapons Brianna managed to build for it before her capture.

Pressing a palm to her chin in thought, Sally nodded her agreement. "I hadn't thought of that, Sonic," she replied, then staring up at the robot. "It may be unwise to just throw him out there without testing this system first. We don't know if it'll cause any damage to your body, Axel. Or your mind." Sighing, the Princess leaned back against a lab-counter of Brianna's. "With Mighty and Sonic helping with the mission, we might not need to risk it."

The Armadillo held up an arm to keep the sudden gust of wind off of his face as the blue-blur appeared but a smile crept up on his face. "You sure there's isn't bloodhound ancestry in your family Sonic? Leave it to you to sniff out a mission to kick bot-butt and then BAM! You're right there, ready and, barely waiting." "The mission's a rescue mission, two of Robotnik's hired thugs kidnapped Brianna during a salvage run. You two help the Princess sneak in, rescue her and fight off any internal security in your way; I cause a ruckus with this," Axel pats the mecha's frame. "To keep the majority of the security forces outside on me so they'll think I'm the main vanguard." Instantly Mighty's jovial expression from before fades and his feature turn serious. "So the lynx girl got nabbed? Alright I'm in." His eyes go over the kneeling robotic exo-frame. "Does that thing even work?" "It's had a few dry runs but those were admittedly to test systems, but we don't have a choice." The hybrid nonchalantly commented as he touches switch on the inner panel of the open cockpit hatch. "Engaging Neural Animus Link System." Three seconds after he flicked the twitch he felt a surge up his spine from the connector jack linking him to the frame; Axel arched his back and neck letting out a sharp cry as his brain was flooded with sensation and data from the machine. As a child he had a unique and highly illegal neural-nanomachine implant placed in his body so he could operate certain types of machinery without needing to read and study complex manuals. Axel being the sort who wanted to prove his worth if just so he'd be fed and kept alive had the surgery three times of his own volition. The Neural Animus System basically created pseudo brain lobes that could absorb mechanical and digital data; thus allowing the user to process it and utilize a machine or interface like it was an extension of their own body. The downside was if the system was badly attuned or you tried to process too much data without a limiter you could fry your brain; assuming the surgery's high failure rate didn't paralyze or kill you. Blood leaked from Axel's nose as he leaned forward; he barely acknowledge the other three in the room even as the Armadillo rushed to his side. "Whoa, whoa, who?! H-hey man you okay?" "I-I'm fine!" Axel manages holding up a hand briefly to keep them all from stopping him. He felt the data lessening as he managed to 'tank it' all. He wipes the blood away from his leaking nostril, softly panting a little. "Just this machine's a beast, and Bri's never let me do a full linkage before so this was new..." With determined eyes he leans back into the small seat and reaches to grasp the control sticks and with a push of the button the mech's chest cavity seals up entirely. It's green-optics light up, gazing a green glow along the samurai-like warrior helmet-face Brianna had designed for it. Then with hydraulic limbs 'whirring' to life, the mecha slowly stands up, standing the full fifteen feet of its height, almost going through the ceiling of the workshop. Axel's voice comes out through a loudspeaker in its head. "All systems seem to be green; I'm ready to move out when you are Princess."

Listening to the Princess's words; the hybrid nodded his head, his floppy dog-ears briefly perking to show his state of approval at her plan. "That's a sound plan; alright then we just need some volunteers to help you break in while I keep security busy." As if the Almighty was listening the door to the workshop opened. "Heeeeeeeello? Um nice, hyper Lynx lady? I'm returning that wrench you let me borrow to fix my hut's sink-oh!" Stopping in his tracks was a red, shelled armadillo, with a black under-body, yellow-beige muzzle, belly and arms. "Hi there Princess Sally, and um, ah-." Mighty took on a sheepish look as he realized he didn't know the name of the Mobian sized human-dog looking fellow, standing by the Princess and the impressive robot-thing. "I don't think we've met-." "Axel, and looks like we have a volunteer." Muses the hybrid as he cocked his head towards the Princess. "He's the super strength guy right? Could come in handy." Confused, Mighty scratches the top of his head. "Volunteer, volunteer for what? Um not that I mind helping out but I'd like to know what I'm getting into if it's all the same to you folks."
