Shadow just stood there. "Well, 'Big Time Rush', you were summoned here because Silver over there bumped into me during my Chaos Control," he explained, looking at Silver. "Your fault. We all started walking along and you stopped without warning. Can't blame ME for that," Silver retorted. Loner looked around. "Well, nice to meet ya, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan!" he said. "I'm the leader of the pack. May not be the smartest but err… I am fun…" "He means immature," Crystina added with a smile. "Entertaining to have available, nonetheless," Shawn said. The band nodded in understandment and the pack looked in the direction they did when they all turned their heads to face the animals behind them.
"Not everyone has introduced themselves…" Carlos and Hunter said at the same time. "Oh," said Sonic, realizing that they were talking about him and the others. James said, "That's Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic nodded, and added "Yep!" "I'm Knuckles the Echidna," said Knuckles, stepping forward, "guardian of the Master Emerald." "Coolio! Another echidna AND he's a guardian of the awesome Master Emerald!" Hunter exclaimed. "I'm Cream the Rabbit and this is Cheese!" Cream said in her sweetest voice, her and Cheese waving. "Pleasure to meet ya, Cream and Cheese!" Sierra said, waving back. "I'm Silver the Hedgehog, and this is my best friend, Blaze the Cat," Silver introduced, starting to glow his teal glow and float to show his psychokinesis, and Blaze had a flame in each hand, showing her fire powers. "Whoa, that is AWESOME! We should hang sometime!" Carlos said, admiring the pair's powers. "Rouge the Bat, treasure hunter!" Rouge said, flying overhead. "And thief…" mumbled Knuckles. Tails came floating down from above Sonic and said, "Miles Prower! You can call me Tails!" "Hey Tails!" Paulina called up to him. "I'm Amy Rose!" introduced Amy, running to Sonic and hugging him for no reason. "Amy…" Sonic complained, pushing her lightly off of him.
Shadow stood in the back, not doing or saying anything. Knuckles pushed him forward and Shadow glared at him and started to reach his hand for his inhabitor rings. Sonic stopped him and said "This is Shadow the Hedgehog, AKA Faker." "I am not a faker! I am the Ultimate Life Form," Shadow replied angrily. "Now we're all familiar with each other!" Sierra said happily. Shawn spotted the rings on Shadow's wrists and the ones on his shoes. "Ahh, inhabitor rings…" he said. Shadow noticed that Shawn had spotted them. "What about them?" Shadow asked bitterly. "You must possess a great deal of raw power… and judging that you also possess a Chaos Emerald, I can assume that you have the power of Chaos attacks and are able to use Chaos Control?" Shawn inquired. Shadow looked amazed. "How do you know?" Shadow asked. Shawn just chuckled. "Well, Shadow, I am very intelligent," he said.
Logan looked like Shadow now. Amazed. He had never seen an ANIMAL as smart as that. "Shawn could probably help me find a way back…" he thought. "Hey Shawn!" Logan called, walking over to the hawk's position. Shawn turned. "Hello. Logan, is it? You seem smart like me. I think we are thinking very much the same thing," Shawn said. Logan was amazed yet again. "Why yes, we are…" Logan replied. Shawn just nodded and shook Logan's hand again. Logan smiled. "So, let's go talk about how we're gonna do this," he said. "Agreed," replied Shawn.
Loner and Hunter went over to Carlos. Carlos looked at them and said "Hey." Hunter and Loner said simultaneously, "Let's go have fun! This'll be AWESOME!" Carlos grinned. "Wanna get some corndogs too?" he asked. The three all went to the nearest tree and started to make plans. "I GOT IT!" Loner said, running to a log raft nearby. "SHAWN!" he called. Shawn threw four shopping cart wheels to them when he saw the trees and raft. Carlos knew were this was going and he got a HUGE rubber band. "Whoa, awesome rubber band, dude!" Hunter said. Carlos just put the rubber band around two trees. Amazingly, it didn't snap. It was WAY too tight though, but the three boys didn't know that. Hunter got some screws and a screwdriver and he installed the wheels onto the log raft. "Let's do this!" Loner said in excitement, climbing onto the raft. Sonic zoomed over. "Need someone to pull it back?" he asked, grinning. "That would be awesome!" Carlos and Hunter said in unison. Sonic grinned bigger and went behind the raft with Hunter, Carlos, and Loner on it. He pulled it back, then let go, jumping on as he did.
"AAAAWWWWEEEEESSSSOOOMMMEEEE!" yelled Hunter. "WWWHHHOOOAAAA!" exclaimed Carlos and Sonic. "WWWHHHEEE!" yelled Loner, his hands in the air. WHOOSH! The raft and all four of them went zooming by all 15 of the others and their hair blew in the direction of the draft. "WHOA WHOA WHOA!" yelled Loner, as he noticed the lake up ahead. "BRACE FOR IMPACT!" yelled Sonic as all four of them started freaking out. The raft zoomed into the lake. All four of them came up from under the water and put their arms on the raft, which had floated to the surface. James had his lucky comb and he was fixing his windblown hair.
"That… was… EPIC!" Hunter yelled, letting go of the raft and slipping under the water. He was a fast swimmer and he had already gotten near the shore after his head popped up again. "Let's do it again!" Carlos yelled in joy. Sonic had pulled himself onto the raft and was paddling with his hands toward the shore. Loner had gotten to the shore with Hunter and shook his dark brown fur dry. He splattered Rouge with water and Silver stopped the water from hitting him with his telekinesis. Blaze got SPLASHED when the raft made impact and the soaking light purple cat was drying herself off with her fire powers. Carlos lifted his helmet and water poured out of it.
Shawn shook the water from him when it hit him. Logan, being next to Shawn, talking about a way out of there, got the water shook onto HIM. Logan was soaked. Nothing he could do about it. Tails and Rouge were flying above the splash so neither of them were touched. Cream and Cheese were wet and yet, both of them were smiling. "Mr. Loner, are you OK?" Cream asked. "Chao chao?" Cheese asked Hunter. Loner and Hunter grinned in reply. "Yeah we're fine!" they said simultaneously. Amy ran up and asked "What about you, Carlos?" Carlos nodded, shaking water from his ears. Sonic had arrived on the shore, sitting on the raft. Tails flew down and hovered above him, lifting him up and then setting him back down on land.
Carlos yanked on Kendall's hand and Kendall fell on the raft. Carlos then looked at Hunter and Loner and then they knew what he wanted them to do. They grinned, nodded, and pulled the raft back to the tree. They couldn't believe that the wheels stayed on, but they ignored that fact. Kendall realized what was going on immediately. "I WANT NO PART OF THIS!" he protested. Hunter just said, "Relax dude, this is gonna be epic!" Kendall grimaced with the realization that there was no way they were going to let him off.
