"Oh, this picture has been a disaster darling, a complete disaster. We've had to stop shooting cause there has been torrential rain for days. So there is nothing I can do besides sit and wait." Mrs. Thorndyke said through the phone to her son Chris. Kaida and Sonic were lying on the house roof listening in on the conversation with their eyes closed. "I don't think I would be back until late next week at the earliest, but I have had plenty of time to go shopping, and I am having bunch of wonderful presents sent. I hope you like them. They're coming on daddy's jet so you should have them tonight."
"Thanks mom. Urr mom there's something I have ta- well there's something I did that I kinda not suppose to." Chris said back while looking over the balcony.
"Christopher what happened?! Are you all right?" His mother asked sounding very dramatic.
"Yeah I'm totally fine, but remember how you said that I'm not suppose to swim at night, and how you said you wanted me to stay away from the adult pool?" Chris said as a man came onto the balcony with a tray of breakfast.
"Did you go swimming in the adult pool at night by yourself?" His mother asked sound dramatic once again.
"Urrr not exactly. You see there were these cats that fell into the pool, and I got them out." Sonic and Kaida turn their attention to Chris with a raised eyebrow each.
"Oh, you have a big heart just like I do. Next time ring for Mr. Tanaka, and he will take care of things alright?" Chris's mom asked which made him blush in embarrassment. "Ooh darling I must run. Kiss mommy goodbye." She made a kissing noise on the line which Chris returned. "Chow sweet heart."
Chris turned off the phone and rubbed the back of his neck while Kaida and Sonic jumped off the roof onto the balcony. Sonic and Kaida landed on the railing sitting down. Sonic pointed at himself saying, "Take a good look. We're hedgehogs not cats."
"Urrr I know. Please don't be mad. Your see my mom wouldn't understand." Christ said trying to be a bit understandable.
"Why would she?" Kaida asked with had hands cross across her chest.
"Well fist of all she knows I would risk diving into a pool in the middle of the night to save two littler hedgehogs."
"Really?" Sonic mumbled.
"What else could I say to her? I couldn't tell her I save a blue and purple talking hedgehogs. That reminds me, where and where did you guys learn how to talk?"
"Good question. The thing is that I don't have a good answer, cause I don't remember. Do you sis?" Sonic asked turning his head towards his sister.
"No clue."
Suddenly the phone starts ringing again. "Hello?" Chris asked as he answered the phone.
"Chris is everything alright?!" Chris's dad asked immediately.
"Hey dad, how are ya?"
"I fine but your mother just called and told me you mad an emergency rescue last night. I guess our security system can't protect against stray cats who want to go for a moonlight swim. Chris I know you like animals but what you did was dangerous. Where you hurt? Did the cats scratch you while you were trying to save them?" His dad asked sounding in a panicked way.
Christ shook his head. "No scratches at all. I fine dad honestly I am. It wasn't really that much of a big deal. After I jumped in and got them out of the water they where really happy. I could tell."
"Yeah got ya, yeah."
"Besides I could have had grandpa, or Ella or Mr. Tanaka to help me If I needed to. Don't worry dad, their talking good care of me."
"Yeah they better be. Listen Chris I got an important meeting to run to. You can me anytime you need anything and not more late night swims promise?"
"Okay dad I promise. See you soon." Chris the hung up and looked towards Sonic and Kaida. Sonic just shook his head while Kaida looked a Chris.
Chris blush a bit but then remembered something. "Oh I almost forgot you two must be pretty hungry. I was thinking you both would like something to eat."
"Yeah I guess we could go for something." Sonic said, while leaning his head on his left hand.
"What's on the menu?" Kaida asked sitting the same was as Sonic only leaning on her right and not left.
"I checked out hedgehogs on the internet and found the perfect thing." Chris said as he grabbed bold of a bowl of brown food. He held them out in front of him and towards Kaida and Sonic. Sonic and Kaida grabbed hold of a piece each and put them in their mouth. After a couple of chews they found it disgusting.
"What is this?!" Sonic yelled pointing to the bowl.
"Cat food." Chris said with a smile.
"Urrr no wonder. It tastes lie there's cat in it." Kaida yelled putting her hand in front of the bowl.
"The website I went to said the most hedgehogs love cat food. I guess that doesn't go for all hedgehogs." Chris explained.
"Please tell me you have some real food at we could eat." Kaida groaned putting her hand on her stomach.
"Well we have some sandwiches, pizza, chili dogs-"
"Chili dogs?!" Sonic yelled in surprise before taking of into the house. Chris looked the way Sonic just went in surprise and then back at Kaida.
"Chili dogs is one of his favourites food." Kaida confesses and then ran after her brother leaving Chris there in shock.
After breakfast, Sonic's ate three chili dogs, while Kaida just had one, then the three find themselves on the couch watching the news. Sonic and Kaida ignored what the people were saying about them and finished up a sandwich they were given from Chris who was sitting next to Kaida. Chris was sitting at the end of the couch and listened to what people believed Sonic and Kaida were. After a zoologists had said that they might have been machines Chris turns his attention to the two and watches Sonic swallow the food down when his Grandpa Chuck came into the room. Chuck looked and saw Chris immediately. "Ah, there you are." He said while walking into the living room. He walked up to Chris and leaned over Sonic without noticing him and continued, "Guess what? A pair of big blue and purple hedgehogs came out of nowhere and outran the S team yesterday!" Chuck looked down and saw the two were sitting right below him.
Chuck looked down at Sonic. He looked at the tv then back down at Sonic. "Big, blue. Just like that..." He smiles and grab Sonic and started to pock him. "It's him! I've got to see how this thing is put together." Sonic was able to get out of his hold jumps over the table and landed on his feet.
Chris got up and put his arms in front of him saying, "Grandpa, he not a machine. He's Sonic the hedgehog."
Chris's grandpa gasps in shock, "Uh, and that one?" He said pointing to Kaida.
"This is Kaida the hedgehog. Sonic's sister."
"Little sister to be more prosiest." Sonic said with a smile on his face.
"Hey! Just because I was born ten minutes after you doesn't make me your little sister." Kaida said with an attitude.
"You just keep on saying that little sis..." Sonic said through the smirk on his face. Kaida growled at him.
"Now lets go live to this late breaking story." The news woman said which caught Chris and Chuck attention.
"Oh please!" Cream cried in fright while holding onto Cheese which caught Sonic's and Kaida's attention immediately. The camera zoomed in on Cream and Cheese which made Sonic stare at the screen in surprise. "Please, leave us alone."
"It's Cream and Cheese." Sonic said in surprise.
"It's who?" Chris asked Sonic.
Kaida shrugged, "We weren't the only once who got transported to this weird after all."
"We'll save those two." Sonic said turning to his sister. They both nodded to each other and the zoomed out of the house.
Chris then realised something. He ran to the door of his house and yelled to the siblings, "Do you even know where they are?"
Sonic and Kaida skidded on their feet to stop. They ran back to Chris and gave him a nervous smile to show him they have no clue where to go.
After thirty minutes of looking around they heard Chuck hang up the phone and turned their attention to him. He looked at Chris and said, "Well it seem's Sonic' and Kaida's friends were captured by the police and taken to area 99."
"What's area 99?" Sonic asked scratched the top of his head.
"It's a top secret military base where the National Defense Force keeps all their tanks, fighter jets, and high tech spy equipment." Chris told them.
"That sounds like Eggman's kind of place." Kaida told them.
"Your friends have been taken by the army and have been placed under twenty-four hour guard." Chuck told them serious. "The authorities believe they could be aliens or perhaps members of a mutant species developed by an enemy power that's designed to attack our population." He then looked at Sonic and Kaida, "I wonder if they might not be right ay?"
Kaida and Sonic look at each then back at Chuck who was smiling which made them raise an eyebrow at that. Sonic shrugged it off and said, "Think what you want. We're gone. Now that we know where our friends are we're out of here." Sonic and Kaida walks over to the front of the garage.
"But if you guys show up at area 99, you guys will be locked up to." Chris said worriedly.
"They can't lock us up." Kaida said turning around, only to find the garage door closing right in front of them.
"Open that door!" Sonic yelled at Chris and Chuck.
"Don't look at me I didn't do it." Chris said to Sonic waving his hands in front of himself.
"Ha! It was me!" Chuck said pointing to himself. "You guys are going to need dome help. I'll go with you."
"Grandpa are you serious?" Said with a shocked face.
"Of course I'm serious. And your coming along too." Chuck said to Chris. "You told me you didn't want to live a boring life like your father so here's your chance for some excitement."
"Well if your up for it, then I'm up for it." Chris said with a smile on his face. "Just don't tell dad."
"All right. Let's get going." Sonic and Kaida just looked and the grandpa and grandson with shocked and confused face.
After loading up into the vehicle and getting Sonic and Kaida to get into the vehicle, Chuck drove away from the mansion towards area 99. Thirty minutes later they were still on the road in the middle of the desert with Chuck's smile never leaving his face. "It's going to take forever to get there. We might as well go by ourselves." Sonic muttered.
"Chill out." Chuck said to Sonic with his head turned toward him.
"Is it time?" Chris asked his grandfather.
"It's time." Chuck told his grandson.
Chris nodded and turned around giving them each an infrared scope. "Put it on." Chris told them pointing at his head.
"What this?" Kaida asked curiously.
"They are infrared scopes. I'm certain that area 99 is full of infrared motion detectors that set off security alarms." Chuck explained. "If you wear it, you may be able to avoid them."
Sonic chuckled as he and Kaida put the infrared scopes on their heads. Sonic gave them a thumbs up and unbuckled his seat belt with Kaida doing the same. Sonic and Kaida jumped out of the car. Sonic smiled and turned his head to Chris and Chuck. "We'll see you guys later." He said before taking off leaving a surprised Chuck and a happy Chris.
"He certainly is a speedy little critter isn't he?" He asked no one in particular then got excited. "Yeah!" He pushed the gas peddle hard which made the car pick up more speed and leaned forward full of excitement while Chris was leaning back feeling not as excited as his grandpa.
Meanwhile in area 99 a scientist was walking through the facility hallways and pressed the button for the elevator to take him to a certain floor. He got in the elevator and was on the next floor in a few seconds. He walked down the hall and stopped at an eye scan. He moved closer to the scan and had it scan his eye while the men in the security room were watching him. The scan had scanned the man's eye and had granted access for the man to enter the room. The man entered the room and heard the door close behind him but paid attention to Cream and Cheese inside the unit for them to scan her and to get information from where she is from. "We didn't do anything. Please let us out." Cream begged as a scanner came close to them. Cream looked at the camera and gasped, "What kind of place is this? Cheese, we've got to get out of here."
Sonic and Kaida continued to run towards the base when they heard something in their ear. "Sonic, Kaida can you guys hear me?" It was Chris.
"Yeah.." Sonic said with a smile on his face.
"Remember when you get to the building go through an air vent. That should be a blind spot for security. Got it?"
"Got it." The twins replied.
"But grandpa, once they are inside how will they find where their friends are?" Chris asked his grandfather with an worried expression.
"Give me that." Chuck said as he too the infrared scopes from Chris. "Listen to me guys, once you get inside you won't have a lot of time, so think quickly and act quickly."
"Grandpa, what if they don't?" Chris said to Chuck.
"Thank for the tip. We're going in." Sonic said as he and his sister speeded up towards the base. One they got to the gate they jumped over it, causing the alarms to go of.
They saw an air vent up ahead and jumped in, Sonic going first. They slid down the air vent and stops at the end of the slope. Sonic started to rub his butt. "Ohh, it feels like I have skid marks on my butt."
"Well that's no surprise." Kaida said as she climbed over Sonic and started to crawl away from him and down the air vent.
Sonic looked up ahead and saw red lazar lights. "Kaida hold up." Kaida stopped and turn to her brother. "Lazar alarms," he said pointing behind Kaida. "We can't go any further."
"Hey guys how's it looking?" Chris asked.
"Just great." Sonic replied.
"Sonic look." Kaida said pointing to a vent in the middle of the them.
Sonic smiled, "This will be a piece of cake." Sonic removed the vent in the middle of the hall and lowered his head before landing on the ground beneath one of the security cameras. Kaida follows his lead. They look up at the security cameras and realise something. "We both won't fit under the cameras together. I'll go first and then follow my lead." Kaida nods. He smirked then moved forward from one side of the wall to the other. Kaida goes after him one by one. After five times of doing this thy come to a stopping in the middle where another hallway leads down. He looks behind him and says, "We're too fast for them." They took off down the hallway and did the same thing he did earlier by dodging being seen by the cameras.
Chris watched the base from inside the convertible and started to worry. "I hope they're ok."
Cream and Cheese heard some noise above them and looked up to see a scanner come down towards them. She saw the green lights and started to get even more scared than earlier. "I don't like this." She said sadly.
"Chao." Cheese said in agreement.
Sonic and Kaida were at the corner of the hallway and saw a room that said 'Staff Only' with an eye scanner next to it. "Maybe that's where they are." Kaida said to her brother.
"Maybe," Sonic replied, "but we need to find a way in to find out." Suddenly all the lights went out. "Well that's just made it easier."
Sonic and Kaida entered the room and destroyed the glass of the scanner unit that was holding Cream and Cheese and hid behind the wall with them right next to his side with the alarm going off as well. "Sonic, Kaida..."
"Sh..." Sonic told Cream, but Cheese became happy and rapped it's little arms around Sonic's neck which made Sonic and Kaida laugh a bit.
"Over there!" One of the men yelled which got the siblings focused back on the mission.
"Lets go." Sonic told Cream while giving Cheese back to her.
Cream nodded, "Right." She followed them out of the room and down the hallway with Sonic leading the way. After a few seconds of running and Sonic holding Cream's hand to make sure nothing happened to her, Kaida was running in front. Cream looked up and asked, "Wow guys, how did you shut off all of the electricity?"
Sonic looked back at her and smirked, "We didn't do it Cream. I guess it just happened."
Cream smiled, "Maybe it just happened because you guys bring good luck where ever you go."
Kaida chuckled, "You might be right." Suddenly the power came back on at that time.
"I shouldn't of said anything, it must be a jinx."
"This isn't your fault Cream." Sonic cameras started to have little lazar guns pop out the top of them. The where pointing at Sonic, Kaida, Cream and Cheese. "Cream hang on."
"Right." She barley had enough time to say it before Sonic and Kaida took of running down the hallway trying to avoid getting hit by the lazars.
"Sonic, Kaida what's going on? Are you and your friends alright?" Chris asked them worriedly.
"Not exactly." Sonic replied. He then let go of Creams hand.
"Sonic!" Cream yelled.
"Run!" Sonic yelled back before jumping up onto one of the camera's. He then started aiming for the other camera's and shot at them.
Kaida looked up and noticed that a giant metal door were coming down which Sonic didn't notice. "Sonic!"
"The door! We can't make it out!" Cream yelled. Sonic looked at saw the door. He ran towards Cream and hold of her. Kaida made it through first and the Sonic, Cream and Cheese only just.
They carried on running when Sonic and Kaida stopped, which made Cream stop as well, when they saw security cameras all facing them.
Sonic and Kaida where getting ready to run when Cream saw something coming their way. "Hey, what are they?" She asked pointing at the group of tiny electric airplanes coming their way. The group watch the tiny electric airplanes fly through or into the security cameras in the part of the hallway they were in. "I don't understand what's going on?" Cream asked in surprise.
"There's no time to find out Cream." Kaida said before running down the hallway with Sonic. They ran past the next metal door coming down and ran towards the door where the stairs were at when the power went out again, but the laser security cameras had started to go out of control in the entire base of area 99.
They kept on running up the steps when a laser went through the steps they were at. Sonic and Kaida made it past the step, but Cream and Cheese started to fall with the metal steps. Sonic and Kaida heard Cream scream in fright and grabbed her hand. Sonic and Kaida started to pull her up when he saw a laser destroy the stairs in front of him. Sonic pulled Cream into his arms and started to jump up the stairs while Kaida led the way. They made it to the top of the area and put Cream down. The group looked down where the lasers were firing out of control then back at each other. "See Cream. I told you we'll make it, and we did. You didn't doubt me, did you?"
Cream shook her head at Sonic's question. "Thank you for saving us Sonic and Kaida." Sonic smirked and then heard a noise outside. "Huh?" He looked around the area.
"Hey, what's that?" Kaida asked. They removed the infrared scope off his head then leaned their ears against the wall while Cream and Cheese watched them. "Sounds like a plane."
Sonic and Kaida smirked immediately when they remembered what it was. "The Tornado." Sonic and Kaida said together. Sonic grabbed Cream by her waist and said, "Hold on."
Tails drove the Tornado over area 99 and said, "This must be the place." He zoomed over the dome shaped part when Sonic and Kaida crashed through the window with Cream being held by Sonic onto by the waist. "Alright Sonic!" He steered the plane closer to them. The three of them land on the right top wing of the Tornado.
The group looks at Tails who was smiling happily at them. "Hey!" Sonic called happily.
"Tails!" Kaida yelled joyfully after Sonic.
"It was you." Cream said happily. "You were the one that helped us get out of there."
Tails winked at her then said, "I helped, but Sonic and Kaida are the real heros." He steered the Tornado away from the base and flew past Chris and Chuck's convertible.
After Tails landed the plane in front of the lab at the Thorndyke's residence the group gathered around in happiness on the ground while Chuck and Chris walked up to them after parking the car. Chris walked up to them waving his hand.
Chris stopped in front of the group while his grandpa just watched from the desk while looking over the little electric airplane. "Hey guys, my name's Christopher. Sonic and Kaida fell into our swimming pool last night and I dove in and saved them." Chris told them.
Tails nodded and smiled, "My name's Tails, and I'm Sonic's very best buddy. Right Sonic?"
Sonic smirked, "Correct." Kaida rolled her eyes at Sonic's smirk.
"My name's Cream, and this is my very special Chao friend Cheese." Cream told Chris. "Thanks for helping us." She and Cheese bowed a bit to show their appreciation.
Chris looked at his grandpa and said, "Oh, and this is my grandfather."
Tails and Cream looked at Chris's grandpa while Chuck just looked at the tiny electric airplane. "Extraordinary. Tiny radio controlled airplanes. Extraordinary." Chuck said while trying to figure out how it works by looking at it.
"We got lots of neat gadgets." Tails told Chuck while rubbing his nose.
Chris then turned his attention to Sonic and Kaida, "Listen guys this isn't some game we're playing you know, you could have gotten us all thrown in jail."
Sonic and Kaida then smirked at Chris "Maybe we could've but we didn't did we?" Sonic asked.
"Couldn't you try and be more careful?" Sonic and Kaida then did the little pose saying 'I don't know'.
Chuck and Tails where talking about the gadgets when Tails just thought of something, "I just though of something. If you and me and Kaida and Cream and
Cheese are here, then maybe the others got here too."
"You might be right about that Tails and if you are, that means maybe..." Sonic said when suddenly everyone had a picture of a certain person in their head.
"Eggman's here too!"
Dr. Eggman looked at the ocean from the video screen. He noticed that the tower was transported onto a deserted island along with his two robot companions Bocoe and Decoe who were standing behind him a few feet away. "So we were transported to this world by Chaos Control." He said. He smirked, "Very well then. I'll rebuild the foundation of the Eggman empire here, and soon I will rule the entire universe."
