Chapter 1.
Along Route 401, a large convoy of tanker-trucks all bearing the legend- M Phillips, Eco Supplies- trundled down the road at unbelievable speed. It was being closely chased by two motorbikes, one white and one black.
Rouge- dressed in dark purple biker-gear- gunned the bikes' engine to catch up. The second member of the team-- Shadow-- came alongside her,he too was in biker-gear, black with red flames up the arms and legs.
Behind them, a group of bird-like robots fired a round of bullets and missiles. Rouge grunted and veered hard left to avoid getting hit, Shadow pulled a fast 180 and sat up in his seat, he waited for the right moment and unleashed a powerful Chaos attack. The robots fizzed and crashed into each other in a dazzling display of fireworks, the black hedgehog smirked, pulled his bike around and raced off to catch Rouge.
Once at her side, he nodded, " That's the guards taken care of. Give them the call."
The bat nodded and switched on the radio in her helmet, " You're all clear, sugars."
" Roger. Gang-way 'cause I'm coming through ! "
The two agents slowed their bikes to a stop and waited for the third and fourth members of the group. They didn't have to wait long, a fierce wind suddenly picked up, a fair way down the highway that they'd just travelled, a large dust cloud came racing along. As it passed, Rouge yelped and grabbed onto her bikes' handle-bars to stop herself from being blown away, Shadow grunted and stood his ground as a very fast blue, blur edged with pink shot by.
Rouge took of her helmet once the coast was clear and shook out her short hair. She grinned and waved, shouting, " Good luck, guys!" The ball of speed hurried after the convoy and was soon lost. She turned to Shadow, who was already revving up his engine. " We better head back to Base and report to Uncle Chuck. Don't look so worried," She added when Shadow looked down the road and gripped his handle-bars with white knuckles. " I'm sure his nephew can handle it."
" I'm not worried about Sonic."
" Huh? Don't worry, Amy's pretty tough too." She put back on her helmet and revved up her own engine. " C'mon, I'll race you back. Loser does washing up."
Shadow grinned and flipped down his visor, " Terms agreed. Ready? GO!"
Rouge watched him go, she smiled, kicked the bike into gear and hurried after him, tearing up the motorway behind them.
Up ahead, quickly catching up the row of trucks, red sneakers pounded on the tarmac, two sets of green eyes were glued to the back of the last lorry. Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose chased the vehicles, hoping to reach them before they reached their destination- Eggman's new home, which he'd named Eggtopia. ( Eggs on the brain. Much ?)
"Sonic...Faster !!"
Sonic grunted, " I'm going as fast as I--"
" Sonic, look out!"
The blue dude with the 'tude, had just enough time to shout and cover his face with his hands as they crashed into a workman's barrier. Now they were above the convoy. Amy whimpered and clutched at Sonic's shoulders harder.
" What's with this road? It's all wonky.."
She gasped suddenly, " Sonic, you have to stop. Right now !"
" Urm..Why?"
" This is Route 402 and it's not completed yet."
" So? That means what?"
Amy pointed over his shoulder ahead of them, " NO ROAD !?" She screamed over the rushing winds.
The two hedgehogs screamed as a vast drop came hurtling into view. Sonic grunted and slammed on the breaks, the undersides of his trainers grew white-hot, but then he had a really crazy idea.
" Amy ! Grab the power-ring!"
"What!? Are you insane?"
" Just do it. Now!"
She struggled to open the bag he was wearing, but managed to get hold of the golden band at the bottom. With shaky fingers, she pressed it into Sonic's waiting palm. Sonic tightened his grip and the ring glowed to life.
" Hold on, Amez, we're gonna rocket!"
Amy looped her arms around his neck, buried her face against his shoulder and held on for dear was lifted into the air by the sheer power of the ring's energy, his feet turned super blurry and formed a perfect figure of eight under him. The air crackled around them and then exploded with an almighty Sonic-Boom, Sonic was propelled along the road leaving behind Amy's petrified shriek, " Whoaa--ahhh-hhaa! "
Soon, they left the highway, breaking though another barrier and found themselves soring up and beyond. Their target was right under them and coming in close, a little too close. Sonic acted quickly, he undid Amy's arms from his neck and her legs around his middle, and threw her ahead of him. Once she was out of harms' way, he curled up into a ball and pushed the rings' power to it's limit. He whooshed in an arch of blue and skidded along the roof of the last truck, his foot caught a stray wire and set him tumbling towards the edge. Using his arms to slow himself, he managed to get his balance and saved himself from becoming a Sonic pancake. At hearing a high-pitched squeal above him, he spun and caught a very green looking Amy.
" You..OK?"
Amy pushed her short ponytail from her face, " Uuuggghhhh... I think I'm gonna lose my lunch..." Sonic set her down onto her feet and held her arm while she took deep breaths.
" You'll be fine in a few. Now, lets blow the top off this thing."
" Can't." Said Amy, shaking her head.
" Why the fig not?"
The pink hedgehog folded her arms, " We're suppose to sneak into Eggman's base,right?" Sonic nodded," Well..think about it. Don't you think the Mechs will become suspicious if one of the trucks arrived with its back blow off? A huge search will happen and we'll have no chance of sneaking in, and it'll be all your fault!"
Sonic chewed on this for a second, before nodding again, " I guess you're right."
" Thank-you. One to me, I believe. Now.." She pushed back the sleeve of her red track-suit to reveal her com-link, pushing a button, she brought up the van's blue-prints. " According to Uncle Chuck, all these lorries are on Auto-Pilot. If I can pick the lock, we can hide in here--" Small square lit up on the diagram, " -in the over-head compartment."
"Uh..Won't it be a tight fit?"
She smiled, reaching into his pack for one of the many gizmo's Tails had supplied them with." C'mon , Sonic...Is snuggling up to me really that bad?" The lock pinged open and she crawled inside with a wink.
Sonic followed shortly afterwards, carefully closing the hatch behind him with a slight grin on his face.

Inside Eggtopia...
Dr Eggman sat in his chair, watching the many screens that lined the walls. He flicked a switch and on one of them, appeared the face of a skinny man with rat-like features and oiled back hair.
" Ah! Mr Phillips, good evening to you!"
"Dr Eggman. I hope you are well ?"
" As well as can be expected, and now that the final shipment has arrived," A nearby monitor showed the convoy at the gates, he pressed a button to allow it through," I can begin testing that delightful toxic cocktail you made for me. This planet doesn't stand a chance!"
" Glad to hear it. I also have good news, using the first scroll, I have located the chamber of the second .It's somewhere in the White Jungle, with the team of Egg-bots you loaned me, I should have it in a matter of hours."
" Ooh, brilliant! With the Diamond in my hand to power my latest invention, not even that blue pin-cushion, Sonic, can stop me!" He chuckled madly.
" You mean us, right, Doc? Don't forget my share in the deal."
" Of course not, old boy. You'll get what's coming to you." He disconnected the call and the screen went dark. Eggman turned to another screen, this one was of a large, circular platform. Egg-bots were hanging from the ceiling by cables, adjusting the big ,glass tube that would descend and trap who- ever was under it. In short--A new Robotizer, one that gave the victim no hope of everturning back to flesh and blood, and make them 100 percent loyal to him. Eggman grinned dangerously, " Don't worry ,old boy..You'll get exactly what's coming to you.."
If any of the Worker-bots had bothered to check the vans, before unloading the green ooze into the holding vats, they would've noticed an open hatch in the thirds' cab.
Sonic and Amy took to the shadows and made their way to the main control room, it wasn't long before they found themselves in front of a big steel door. Amy whipped out the lock-picking do-dad again and made quick work of the double bolt. They darted inside, just missing a couple of Mechs doing their rounds.
Amy made her way to the gaint console in the center of the was having a good nose around, he shrugged and hopped onto a nearby table. Reaching into his bag, he tossed Amy a blank computer disc and sat back while she got to work.
Sonic checked his watch, " We've got 20 minutes before the guards come in yet?"
She frowned at him, " I'm not Tails, Sonic. I'm doing the best I can, just do me a favour, eh? Don't touch anything."
"OK, OK...Geez!" He jumped into the chair next to her and tapped his fingers as impatience kicked in. His fingers slipped and hit a nice star-shaped button, he knew he was in trouble when the secondary door slid home and bolted shut, and Amy turned to him with a very ticked off look," Uh..Whoops?"
" Now look what you've done! We're trapped!"
And they were. Big time.
Next Chapter is up!
