Kids AGAIN?
Ch. 1: It begins…
Hey y'all! Sorry for the long wait before I started to work on a story, but this is the joint fic I've decided to do with Freya the hedgehog 23; Kids AGAIN? We've been planning this for a couple of days, and we hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I own Charge the Cat, Freya the hedgehog 23 owns Freya the Hedgehog and Sega owns all other characters.
LET IT BEGIN!
Charge the Cat was sitting at his computer. He sighed. "I'm stuck. I don't have any ideas for-"
His sentence was cut short as there was a knock at the door. He walked over and opened it.
"Hey Charge! Long time no see!" Freya the Hedgehog was there, smiling.
Charge smiled back. "Isn't that Sonic's line?"
Freya shrugged. "Beats me. So, whatcha doing?" She walked in.
Charge shut the door behind her and followed. "Well, not much. I want to write a new story, but I'm stuck for ideas."
Freya smiled. "Well, your story about the Sonic gang as kids was cool, so why not do another one? I could help, both for writing and in the actual storyline."
The cat half-grinned. "That's brilliant! Come on, let's start!" He dashed to the computer and started to type frantically.
Freya smiled. "You look like you're good for now. I'll be here if ya need me."
She turned on Charge's Wii, put in 'Sonic and the Black Knight', and started to play. "You're stuck on King Arthur? Easy! I can beat this whole game in a hour!"
"No, that's Sonic's file. I already beat the game." the feline replied, "Now I've got some work to do…"

"Ooohhh… my head." groaned Tails as he attempted to sit up, before noticing the massive weight on his chest, "What in the world?
The weight was Knuckles laying with his back on Tails' chest, completely K.O'ed, with swirls where his pupils would normally be and a thin trickle of drool coming from his mouth.
Tails groaned and tried to push off the older echidna, but had no effect on him. The kitsune sighed and decided to figure out just where the heck they were by turning his head from side to side.
He immediately noted that they were in a none-natural enviroment. In the small circular room, the walls, floors and ceiling were smooth, cold, gray metal. A single table with an unknown object was the only furnishing There were no doors or windows. A single fluorescent bulb lit the room and revealed the other occupiers of the metal prision.
Sonic was still out like a light, lying next to Amy, who was smiling as if she could sense in her unconscious state that her so-called "boyfriend" was next to her. "Unconscious", that is, until Tails noticed that her eye opened a fraction to look at her prize.
The Ultimate Lifeform was lying unconscious, partially curled up, his right fist directly placed over his mouth. It only took the fox a moment to realize that he was sucking his thumb. Making a mental note to catch Shadow in the act later and use the evidence to make sure Shadow helped them against Eggman.
Rouge was stirring, her back to Tails so he couldn't tell what he was doing.
As soon as Tails had finished his check, Sonic's eyes snapped open to gaze into Amy's single open one. It took him a moment to realize what the situation was, and once he did, he shot up and started to quickly back away from Amy, until his quills hit the wall.
"Wha?" he exclaimed, turning quickly in a circle. After taking in his surroundings, his claustrophobia kicked in.
"AHHH! GOTTAGETOUTNOWNOWNOWNOW!" he shrieked, beginning to run around at his trademark supersonic speeds.
"SONIKU!" squealed Amy, chasing after the Blue Blur.
When nothing was accomplished by running in circles, Sonic skidded to a halt, curled into a ball and attempted to spin-dash the wall, but he harmlessly bounced off the mixture of titanium and steel and hit the table and it's mysterious object.
The mysterious object began beeping and soon, a monotone computerized voice said, "SYSTEM ACTIVATED. TARGET AQUIRED. COMMENCING FIRING SEQUENCE!"
Soon, the end of the object, now revealed to be the Eggifier Ray, began to glow with a green light.
"Huh?" came the question from the still-sleepy Rouge, her eyes half-closed as she looked towards the gun.
Shadow groaned and fidgeted, taking his thumb out of his mouth.
Knuckles was still K.O'ed.
Sonic paused in his fear-crazed state to stare at the weapon.
Amy, who had been
"THREE." the machine announced.
"TWO."
"Not again!" moaned Tails.
"ONE."
ZAP!

"I AM SO GOSHDARNED BORED!" Charge screamed in his head.
He was sitting with his back to a tall maple tree in full foliage, staring out at the park and it's peaceful scenes. Kids both human and Mobian were running around screaming and giggling, playing various sports and games. Couples sat on benches laughing and kissing, generally enjoying themselves.
Charge, however, was simply tossing one of his daggers up, watching it flip, and then catching it once it came down.
"Why does everybody seem to be enjoying this beautiful August day besides me?" he wondered, tossing the weapon again, "I wish I had some action and adventure to spice up tod-"
He never finished his sentence, as a massive explosion resounded throughout the city. As Charge turned towards the sound, he noted the massive flaming ball rising from the middle of downtown Station Square.
"That's where Sonic lives!" he noted to himself, "Eggman's up to something, and whether Sonic likes it or not, I'm helping investigate!"
A flash of lightning followed, and all the evidence of Charge being there was a scorched section of grass.

Freya the Hedgehog, battered from the fight, drew a breath and glared at Eggman.
The famous insane doctor was inside his latest robot, a two-story tall scorpion with a giant laser where it's stinger was and two massive metal pinchers.
"Where's Sonic when you need him?" Freya wondered, as she dodged several blast from the laser on the Egg Scorpius.
Dr. Eggman was sitting in his control pod, grinning from ear to ear, as he pressed one of the billions of switches and buttons on his control panel.
Immediately, a line of heat-seeking missiles appeared up the tail of the scorpion, locked onto Freya, and fired.
The purple hedgehog ran towards the weapons, jumped, and spin-dashed the missiles into oblivion. Landing gracefully, she shot a triumphant glance at Dr. Eggman, but was surprised to see the doctor laughing heartily.
"OHHOHOHO!" he laughed, then stared down at the Mobian, "You're probably wondering where that blue rat is, aren't you? Well, he is righ-"
The doctor was stopped short in his speech by a blast of lightning that sliced through the tail. The massive metal limb fell slowly, sparks dancing from where the bolt of lightning struck. The massive metal joints clanked and screeched as they hit the earth, sending up a giant cloud of dust.
Eggman watched his main weapon fall to the earth, before he turned with a red face and steam coming out of his ears to the source of the attack.
Standing on top of Sonic's (completely annihilated) house was Charge. His right hand was covered in sparks, and he had a devilish grin on his face.
"Hey, Scrambled Eggs." he smirked, "What'd I miss?"
"You darn cat!" Eggman shouted, "I'll squash you like a bug!"
The two pinchers shot out from their end of the limbs, wires attached to drag his victims to within his grasp.
Charge jumped over the first of the claws, and in one smooth stroke of a dagger, sliced it in two. The second he sent straight back to the Egg Scorpius with a punch that put Knuckles to shame.
The claw smashed into Eggman's robot with such a force that the robot was sliced in two. Eggman, sensing defeat, took the path of least resistance and detached his floating space-pod thing. Before he flew off, however, he tossed a small brown, moving burlap sack at Freya's feet.
"I'll leave you two to deal with them!" he shouted, before turning and rocketing off into the sky.
Charge backfliped from on top of a car and landed besides Freya,
"Haven't seen you for a while!" he greeted her cheerfully, sheathing his daggers, "Whatcha been up to?"
"Stuff." answered Freya, before kneeling and looking with suspicion at the bag, "What do you suppose he put in here?"
Charge also kneeled, "Dunno. A new little robot of his?"
"Only one way to find out." Freya shrugged, tugging at the drawstring.
What happened next could only be described as utter insanity.
Five anthropomorphic animals exploded from the bag and proceeded to annihilate the already-ruined neighborhood.
A claustrophobic Sonic, being moved from a small room into an even smaller bag, promptly shot out and began running in circles, Amy in pursuit, unsurprisingly. The two eventually began creating a circular incision in the pavement, and yet neither gave up.
Rouge immediately saw a piece of amethyst lying on the ground. Picking it up, she began stroking it, cooing softly as she clutched it to her chest. Love was in her eyes as she gazed at the purple
Shadow, seeing nothing to interest him in the immediate vicinity, promptly curled up and fell asleep, sucking his thumb again. A small smile tugged at the end of his mouth, and he slowly dragged a broken tree branch towards him before grabbing it like a teddy bear.
Knuckles landed on his behind, blinked, then preceded to bawl loudly, stretching his arms out as if wanting something, but not getting it.
Tails simply flew over to where the two teenagers were standing open-jawed, landed at their feet, and began tugging at Freya's pant leg.
Freya and Charge stared at the kids for a minute, then looked at each other for a few seconds, then back at the kids, then at each other, then back at the kids, then… err…you get the idea…
Charge finally shook himself out of it, walked over to a crumbling piece of wall, placed one arm against it, and started banging his head against it, muttering "Not again!" each time.
After finally losing a few dozen brain cells, he collapsed against the wall holding his head.
"I'm ALWAYS the one who gets stuck with these jobs." he complained, "ALWAYS, and single-handedly too!"
"Not this time."
The green feline looked up to see Freya standing in front of him with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face, "I'm helping, whether you want it or not, Sparky!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!: Charge yelled.
Freya was unmoved. Turning on her heels, she strutted back to her house and disappeared inside for a few minutes. Charge's keen eyes could see her silhouette moving from one window to the other. Eventually, she reappeared with a duffel bag over her shoulder.
"What's that for?" Charge asked curiously.
"My clothes 'n stuff for when I stay over at your house!" Freya replied, rolling her eys, "DUH!"
She then rounded up the kids and lead them off in the direction of Charge's house, with Charge following, wondering what adventure they were about to get into.
Freya beat the Dark Queen for the fifteenth time in a row, "HAH! That's what you get for tricking Sonic!"
She finally shut down the Wii and looked to where Charge was passed out on his desk. The chapter lay completed on his computer, but the cat was sleeping soundly.
Freya walked over and read the chapter as a clock struck midnight. Smirking, she closed it, shut down the computer and left the room, but not before covering Charge's face in whipped cream.
The fireworks were gonna fly tomorrow…
Done! Hope y'all liked it!
