Hello again! SoraRose here!

I'm sorry if I'm late I was trying my hardest to write this story properly for ya. I'm sorry if I make any mistakes or if the chapter is too long. Again, I am a new author I'll get the hang of it.

*An: CE is a short way of saying Chaos Energy. I know...I just throwed it in there but I wanted to call it that for a reason. :)

I also want to give a shout out/thanks to my friend Jazzy the Akatsuki. She's an extremely hyper girl who is very sweet and encouraging. She also helped me build courage to write this story. Thank you girl!

Ok, without further a do...Chapter two! (Rhymes right?)


"I wonder what's taking Sonic so long?" Tails asked looking through the window. A worried look stained the young fox's face as he looked out the window of the team's hideout aka Tails house. Tails felt a gentle touch on his shoulder and turned around to see who it was. It was none other than Cream, a rabbit as young as Tails. She often stayed home during adventures since she's still little but always finds a way to help the team.

"Don't worry Tails, I'm sure Mr. Sonic will come in a blink of an eye." She smiled warmly as she pat his shoulder a couple times. Tails returned a smile and thanked Cream for her reassurance. The rabbit then bounced herself back into the kitchen to finish cooking a feast for the team after a job well done.

Tails turned back to the window. To be honest he wasn't really that worried about Sonic, it's just that he was injured pretty badly, to the point he needs medical attention, especially that arm of his. Still, he is a fast healer, he'll recover quickly after a day or two...but that doesn't explain the fact he was late for the celebration after a successful battle. What could he have found back at the lair?

"Tails, stop moping around and play with us!" A voice called disrupting the fox's thoughts. Tails turned around, again, this time to see a white hedgehog next to a green hedgehog, waving his hand up near the tv, which had a game connected to it. Silver, is a futuristic hedgehog from a different dimension, he also has the power of telekinesis.

Tails then noticed the rest of the room. Knuckles and Shadow were playing cards, Shadow was obviously winning since the scarlet echidna seemed to fuming looking at his cards. Rouge and Blaze were laughing amongst themselves as were looking at funny Vine videos. Blaze is a futuristic cat from the same time as Silver, she has the power to control any flame using her hands. Sonia, the twin sister of Sonic and a sap green hedgehog Manic, was laying on the couch with her phone, her eyes were glued to the screen. A soft smile stretched across Tails' muzzle, seeing everyone laughing and carefree.

"Well Tails? Up for it?" Manic said holding up a controller for the fox.

"Umm no thanks Manic and Silv, I have to check up on the Chaos emeralds." Tails said running to the basement.

"Ah! Tikal is down th- hey! You cheated!" Knuckles shouted at the dark hedgehog.

"You are playing Uno, not War, Knuckles." Sonia commented, not even looking away from her phone.

"Learn how to play before accusing someone." Shadow snapped at the steaming echidna. Knuckles was about to lift up his fist to sock him right in mouth when...

"Oh, don't bully my knucklehead!" Rouge said glopping over Knuckles' shoulders and pushing her well developed bosom on his back. His face turned bright red, matching the color of his fur perfectly.

"We're not the only ones bullying Knuckles right now." Manic snickered, nudging Sonia who smirked with him.

"Anyways, Tikal is downstairs waiting for you Tails." Blaze said wiping tears of laughter from her caramel eyes.

Tails nodded to the group and proceeded downstairs.


His garage was more like his workshop for new gadgets that may benefit the team, such as the new wrist communicators complete with holographic screens. His eyes scanned the area with parts, tools, and pieces of screws all over the floor. The X Tornado took up most of the area along with his desk and worktable.

"Hello Tails." A voice reached his ears.

"Hi Tikal." Tails said as he noticed a peach echidna sitting in his desk chair, she held a darkened emerald in her hand, examining it carefully.

Tails walked up to her placing a hand on the desk and leaned his weight against it, he eyed the emerald she was holding. A few minutes of uncomfortable silence was shared between the two until Tails became tired of it and began to speak. "So…any idea what happened to them? Is it serious?" He said as he crossed his arms.

Tikal only sighed as she placed the emerald back on the desk with the others. She didn't turn her gaze away from them. "Very." She said grimly. Her breathing suddenly quickened as she balled up her hands into tight fists trembling from her rising frustration."What was Eggman thinking? How…could he do this?" Tikal whispered harshly, trying not to alarm her friends upstairs.

Tails was takin aback by Tikal's sudden burst of mild anger. She was usually a peaceful girl, not the type to get angry. Seeing her in this state was alarming, the situation must be very urgent to be able to get Tikal this worked up. "What's happening?" Tails said a little impatiently, he didn't mean to but that is the result of hanging out with Sonic for years.

"The energy has been forcefully pulled from the chaos emeralds. Since the energy hasn't come back yet, that means that the energy has taken form." Tikal exclaimed placing a hand on her head and resting her elbow on the desk.

Tails stood there, trying to process the overwhelming information he just received. Before he could ask more questions Tikal continued.

"Since the energy from all of the emeralds are merged into one existence, it is more powerful than its parted form, the seven emeralds. The energy could also be used for evil as well as good. We absolutely have to find it…before someone with ill intentions does." Tikal said looking up at Tails, her face showing her seriousness.

"Aka Eggman." Tails gulped. "How do we find the *CE?"Tails asked picking up another darkened emerald.

"That….I cannot tell you. I'm afraid I don't know the answer. The CE can take on any form."Tikal sighed through a shrug. She felt ashamed not knowing something that her tribe held dear. As a chief's daughter and of a proud species she believes she should know all things regarding to Chaos. However, when it finally comes time to prove her knowledge she doesn't know the information that might save the world. She felt a hand placed on her shoulder.

Tails pat her back lightly just as Cream did to him. "Don't worry we'll find it." Tails gave her a reassuring smile. Tikal smiled back showing the blond fox she was alright.

"Yeah your right. We must stay positive!" She said standing up and straightening the sun dress she was wearing. "I'll do some more reading back at my home and search for what to look for."

"In the meantime I will tell the others and make sure to keep an eye on Eggman for any suspicious activity." Tails replied relived to see Tikal brightened up.

"It's a plan. Give Sonic and the team my regards." Tikal said walking towards the door of the garage. She was willing to start reading as soon as she can.

"You got it." Tails said waving goodbye. After he made sure she walked away safely he looked at his wrist and began typing away all the information he had obtained from Tikal. He sent the message to rhea whole team but, placed a timer on it so it won't show up now, when team was having fun. He took one last look at the emeralds before flying up the stairs to the living room.


"We're almost there Amy." Sonic said as he jumped form tree to tree. He slowed just enough to see everything visual and not blurred colors. Amy was still leaning on Sonic's chest, observing the world around her. She couldn't help but feel slightly sentimental, it felt like she hasn't been outside in forever. She brushed off the feeling by shaking her head.

"What is your team like, Sonic?" She asked trying to start a conversation, breaking the silence. She might as well learn about them if she was going to meet them.

Sonic took a moment to think to himself, not turning his head away from the dirt path. "Well,we are more like a makeshift family… than a team. We look out for each other and have had many adventures." A smile began to grow on his face.

Amy saw how his face turned softer when talking about the team. 'He must really care about them' she thought to herself. She started to feel slightly nervous about meeting them. She is a complete stranger barging in on a group that has probably been together for years. Amy lifted her head to look at Sonic. "Do you think they'll like me? Are you sure it's ok for me to stay?" She asked timidly, twirling her quill again.

Sonic stifled a laugh before composing himself. "Of course it's ok. They are pretty easygoing and friendly. You'll fit right in." Sonic said imagining the girls of the team squealing in excitement for seeing a new face.

Amy felt relieved after hearing that and felt Sonic skid into a halt. On reflex, she held on tight feeling the whiplash from the sudden stop. "My bad." Sonic said with a crooked smile. He gently placed Amy back on her feet.

The two hedgehogs stopped right in front of a medium sized house with a garage next to it. They walked down the path and stopped by the door. Sonic turned to Amy seeing her a little nervous twisting her quill again, probably a habit, and pushed her over to the side away from the door. Amy raised an eyebrow at Sonic confused by his action. The cobalt gave her a smirk " I want to give ya an intro."

Amy smiled and nodded. Sonic gave her one last look before knocking on the door. He heard a few noises in the background and quick shuffles of feet leading towards the door. The door finally swung open revealing a magenta hedgehog, Sonia, who finally got off her phone. Sonic raised his hand up and waved. "Heya sis."

Sonia jumped at him not even giving twin a chance to brace himself."Sonic! It's been ages!" Sonia cried giving him a hug.

Sonic hugged her back pushing them into the house so she couldn't see Amy. "Its been only two weeks sis." Sonic laughed.

"I know but still~" Sonia whined reluctantly pulling away from Sonic.

"C'mon sis let me have a turn." Manic said slightly pushing her to the side."Great to see you bro." He raised his arm up for a side high five.

"Right back at ya Manic."Sonic said returning the high five to his twin. He entered deeper into the room to greet the rest of the team, including Shadow. He then saw Tails fly from downstairs and entered the room. The fox spotted him instantly and ran up towards him.

"Sonic, where have you been?" Tails crossed his arms, his face scrunched up in frustration. Sonic didn't like the face he was making and ruffled the yellow fur on his little bro's head.

"Chill Tails, I just got a little… sidetracked." Sonic stated, scratching the back of his ear.

Tails sighed, 'He's here now, there's no need to worry anymore.' He thought to himself as he fixed his fur back in place."Did you find what you were looking for…back at the lair?" Tails tilted his head to the side.

It didn't take long for a smile to stretched across Sonic's tan muzzle. "Yeah I did."

"What was it? Something shiny?" Knuckles joked, causing everyone to laugh a little. Sonic rolled his eyes and punched the echidna in the arm.

"No…not something." Sonic said with a pause."Someone."

"Someone?" team's eyes were all circles with almost no irises. Sonic was confused on why they were so shocked but shook it off and continued. "I found her by herself inside that machine Eggman created an-"

"Her!?" The team exclaimed in unison. Sonic face-palmed himself.

"You guessed it, happy?" Sonic said rolling his eyes.

"Your saying you found her…..and?" Rouge asked motioning her hand for him to continue.

"And I agreed to help her gain her lost memories."

"*Gasp* She lost her memories?" Cream said still frosting a cake that she had baked earlier.

"Unfortunately, yes. So I made the decision to let her stay here until she gains them back." Sonic started to walk towards the door.

"But Sonic, taking care of someone in such a state is serious. She might experience changes in personality and she needs a tremendous amount of support as well as protection." Tails said eyeing his brother.

"That's true. Are you willing to sacrifice your time to help her?" Blaze said nodding in agreement with Tails insight.

"We still have your back, big blue, but you have to be there for her the most." Rouge added pointing her gloved finger at the cobalt.

Sonic looked at his team with his green eyes, they all had on determined looks after Rouge's statement of having his back. Sonic smirked and turned from the team. "Your all telling me things I already know. Don't worry, I will help her. What kind of hero would I be…. if I can't help one person?" Sonic said opening the door. "Ready to meet her?"

The team shared looks with each other and nodded in unison. Sonic peered out the door to see Amy, still fiddling with one of her quills. 'That is one cute habit' he thought before clearing his throat to get her attention. Instantly, she snapped her head up to the sound and turned to Sonic. He motioned his hand to come closer, and as she did so, he held out his hand. "They're ready for ya."

Amy smiled warmly as she fixed her dress and took his hand. She was feeling nervous this whole time and holding Sonic's hand, for some reason made her feel better gave her courage. "What am I supposed to do?" She asked gingerly, reaching for her quill again.

Sonic lightly pushed down her hand from her quill to keep her from twirling it." Don't be nervous…and just be yourself." Sonic said as he returned her smile. Amy walk closely behind Sonic not letting go of his hand and resisting the urge of twirling her quill. The two hedgehogs entered the house. Amy walked behind Sonic until he stopped abruptly, making her bump into his back. She looked up to see the cobalt's head looking back at her. "Alright, c'mon out." He said slightly pulling her hand to guide her next to him.

The rosy hedgehog shyly came from behind Sonic. Her dark green eyes sparkled lightly looking at the team for the first time. She looked up at Sonic again, who gave her a nod and nudged her closer to the team. She smiled brightly reaching for quill again. "H-h-hello I'm Amy Rose and its very nice to meet you." She said, stuttering in the beginning. Her eyes flickered over the new faces and took the time to examine them.

Everyone stared at her as she finished. It wasn't long until Cream came over and gave her a hug. Amy again, on reflex, hugged the young rabbit back. "Hello there, my name is Cream the rabbit. It's nice to meet you too." She said pulling away from Amy.

"It nice too meet you too Cream." Amy gave the rabbit a smile and looked up to see Sonia walking towards her.

"Hiya I'm Sonia, Sonic's twin sister. Please to meet you." Sonia held out her hand. Amy grabbed and shook it while saying "Hello Sonia." The magenta hedgehog then turned and pointed her arm out. "The purple cat over there, is Blaze." She said pointing at the cat. Blaze smiled and waved at Amy and she waved back. "The three hedgehogs over there are Silver, Manic and Shadow and the echidna is Knuckles." The guys raised their hands as their names were called. "And right here is-"

"Rouge the bat." Rouge interrupted earning a glare from Sonia. "Sorry, I give my own introductions. Nice to meet you, pinky." Rouge said using her sweet voice to sound more friendly, she often used it when talking to Cream or asking Knuckles to touch the master emerald.

"It's nice to meet you too, Rouge." Amy said with a slightly crooked smile. She reached for her quill and began twisting it again.

"Wow, cute and polite. I can tell we'll get along just fine." Rouge said with a wink.

"How? Your not cute, let alone polite." Knuckles laughed as he rolled his eyes.

Rouge turned to the echidna wiping tars from his eyes and pointed at him. "Don't start with me Knuckles, unless you want me to clobber you like this afternoon!"

"Here we go again..." Shadow sighed holding the bridge of his nose. "Wanna help Manic?"

"Nah, I'm still recovering from that punch Knux gave me last time. Still hurts..." Manic said rubbing the top of his head.

"Hey! I went easy on you. You just took advantage of it!" Knuckles stated waving his fist in the air.

"Oh! Do you want to see me take advantage now!?" Rouge said waving her own fist in the air.

"Go ahead bat-"

"Ok children play nice." Blaze said interrupting Knuckles and glared at the two. "Or do I have to get fired up?" Her hand held one of her signature fire balls.

"Please not in the house!" Tails, Silver, Sonia, Cream and Manic yelled, holding their hands and arms in front of them.

"Last time we had to call the fire department." Tails said looking at the flame in Blaze's hand. He winced thinking back on the day he burned one of his tails trying to save the X Tornado, luckily he did.

Blaze doused her flames and sat back down. "Anyway we still have a guest." She said motioning her hand towards the sakura hedgehog along with the blur.

Amy looked back at Sonic who had a sweat drop on his head. He looked down at her and said "Umm this is natural. Like I said, we are like a makeshift family."

Amy smiled and giggled a bit."It's alright, your all very close and lively, I look forward to getting to know you all."
