Arid Sands: Rescue Mission

Aw, Chip is so cute in Sonic Unleashed! I absolutely adore the little guy.

Pairing: ChipXCream (Pretty mild, I think there's going to be more action and adventure in this story, though)

"Hey Sonic!" An energetic voice called out, the small creature quickly flew after the speedy blue hedgehog. Sonic sped through the hot, sandy desert. The heat was unbearable for Chip, the sand was a golden color, and some of Robotnik's robots seemed to pop out from the ground.

"What's up?" Sonic didn't slow down he kept his speed up, Chip had a hard time keeping up with the speedy blue hedgehog.

"Can't you slow down?" Chip panted; his wings started to ache, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Sonic smirked, "No way!" With that, the blue hedgehog ran even faster, leaving Chip way behind. "I got to find and rescue Cream!"

"Cream?" Chip questioned aloud, although Sonic didn't fill in the details. Suddenly, one of Robotnik's robots appeared behind Chip and aggressively hit Chip's head, making him fall on the ground. Chip landed on his back with a soft thud, the sun was blocked by the robot.

"Uh oh!" Chip's eyes widened as he stared at the giant robot. Fear overcame the small creature. Suddenly, a blue blur did a homing attack on Eggman's robot. The robot then blew up into smithereens. The small creature shielded his eyes from the robot's metals pieces. Sonic was kneeling on the ground before Chip. The speedy, blue hedgehog quickly got up and grabbed Chip, he hauled the small creature on his head.

"Thanks for saving me, Sonic!" The blue hedgehog ignored Chip.

"Hold on, okay?" Sonic ordered; Chip sat on Sonic's head, Indian style. Chip nodded his head. In less than a second, Sonic took off. The wind harshly blew into Chip's face, his eyes started to fill with tears; Chip squinted his eyes. He didn't know how Sonic could handle this. The small creature tightly gripped on the blue hedgehog's ears.

Sonic yelped, "Take it easy on the ears, will ya?" Slightly, Chip tried not to grab his ears so tightly, but when you're traveling at the speed of light, that's kind of hard to not grab so tightly. Sonic quickly sped through the desert, avoiding enemies, and going as fast as he possibly could.

Up ahead, there was a sharp turn. Sonic had to make sure he didn't turn to sharp, or else Chip would be sent flying off his head. Quickly, but carefully, Sonic made the sharp turn without Chip flying off him. They both sighed in relief. Sonic quickly sped onto a dash panel; Sonic launched himself slightly faster than before. The runway became a little bit narrow, Sonic made sure not to crash into the stone walls. Suddenly, to Chip's fear, there was a giant ramp. Chip's eyes widened in fear.

"Sonic! Don't go on the ramp!" Sonic smirked, ignoring Chip's request, and he quickly dashed to the ramp. The two were sent into the air, about fifty feet above. Chip yelled about; he clung onto the hedgehog's ears.

"Yahoo!" Sonic cheered out, a smile was planted on his face. Quickly, Sonic landed on the ground. Chip's eye twitched, he placed a hand over his chest, desperately trying to find his heart beat. Relieved, he felt it.

"I never want to do that again..." Chip murmured mostly to himself.

Sonic smiled, "Why not? That was fun!" Obviously, he heard his comment. Not waiting for Chip to reply back, Sonic quickly started to run again. Up ahead, there were some springs scattered about.

Sonic grinned, deviously. "Aha, this will be more fun than the boring ole ramps. You go a lot faster when you go on the springs!"

"Oh boy." Chip sighed out, they were inching closer to the springs. The small creature braced himself as he gripped tightly on Sonic's ears and dug his toes into Sonic's head.

Sonic ignored the pain and sped to the red, bouncy springs. Immediately, the two creatures were launched into the air. Chip's eyes were squeezed shut, his heart pounded through his chest, and his teeth were now bared out. In the air, there was another spring waiting for them. Sonic quickly bounced off the other spring. Luckily, for Chip, there were no more springs. Sonic landed on the roof of an old, sandy ruin. Without stopping, Sonic quickly dashed over a dash panel.

"Yeah!" Sonic cheered, excitedly as he felt the humid wind blow in his face.

"When will we stop?" Chip questioned, mostly to himself, but Sonic heard him.

"Once we find Cream!" Sonic answered.

"Who's Cream?" Sonic was about to answer his question, but out of nowhere, Robotnik's robots appeared. They were the same robots that had hit Chip on his head. All the robots had a R symbol on their chests, a missile was attached on their robotic arms, and their red eyes glowed as they stared at the two animals.

Sonic smiled, "Yeah, time to party!" Sonic quickly skidded to a stop. Chip was grateful for that. The blue hedgehog picked Chip up and placed him on the ground.

"Sonic?" The small creature was finally on his feet. Thank goodness!

"Stay here." Sonic commanded, sternly. The blue blur smiled as he quickly did a homing attack of the first robot. The first robot was blown into smithereens, like the robot from earlier. The second robot prepared to launch the missile to Sonic and the second robot launched the missile. Sonic saw the missile coming towards him from the corner of his eye, he quickly dodged it. The missile crashed into a stone wall that was awfully near Chip. Chip shrieked at the sound of the explosion. Some of the heavy stones from the wall fell. One of the rocks landed next to Chip.

"Ah!" Chip cried out in fear, the small creature used his wings to fly to a safer place. Because now, this was a danger zone. Sonic looked over his shoulder to see if Chip was alright, thankfully, he was.

Another huge bolder fell and crushed the third robot that was near the wall. The second robot was the only one left.

"Looks like you're the only one left. This will be a piece of cake!" Sonic suddenly dashed towards the robot. The robot began to launch the last missile that it had.

"Missiles, activate!" The robot said in a robotic tone. The missile was launched and was sped off towards Sonic. Sonic smirked as he quickly dodged the missile and quickly did a homing attack. The last and final robot blew up.

"Woo!" Sonic winked, "Too easy!" Chip came out of the safe zone and hovered in front of Sonic. The blue hedgehog grabbed Chip and placed him on his head.

"Come on, buddy, we need to hurry and find Cream."

"Who's Cream, though?"

End of Chapter one! Woo! I think I got Sonic's character down, no?

Well, please review! :)
